The Institute of Inter-witted Research was founded by us – Claudia Antonius and Jörg Jozwiak – in 2015. In our works, we explore the interface of sense, nonsense, pensiveness, deeper meaning and senselessness. We are particularly interested in the exploration, documentation and mediation of narratives and different types of traces. We also have a keen interest in the serious within the humorous, and the humour to be found within the serious. Our works are not limited to specific forms of artistic expression as we enjoy borrowing from various disciplines.
We are based in Vienna, Austria.
