The IMPALLA study environment is highly adjusted to the needs of our students. What do we have to offer?
* a training environment formed by assistant professors, professors and researchers working on site on major national and international projects.
* an up-to-date ICT environment for individual-, group-, and classroom arrangements.
* access to national and international comparative micro databases (and corresponding meta-information) available on site and within the consortium's archive network, and this according to binding rules for data protection and confidentiality.
* regular interaction with the research teams on site who work at national and international comparative projects as well as for contacts with visiting researchers, for example visitors at IRISS, the integrated research infrastructure in the socio-economic sciences at CEPS/INSTEAD in Differdange.
* Social activities, academic events, and visits to European institutions and centres (in Luxembourg, Belgium, etc.). In March 2008 for example, a joint seminar between IMPALLA and the MISP-programme (Bath university) on "EU policy making and EU reality" was organised.[Kuleuven]
A work of art (or artwork or work) is a creation, such as an art object, design, architectural piece, musical work, literary composition, performance, film, conceptual art piece, or even computer program that is made and or valued primarily for an "artistic" rather than practical function.
Traditional media for visual works of art include: calligraphy, photography, carvings, gardens, ceramics, painting, prints, sculpture, drawings, photography or buildings. Since modernism, the field of fine art has expanded to include film, performance art, conceptual art, and video art.
What is perceived as a work of art differs between cultures and eras and by the meaning of the term '"art" itself. Up until the 1970s, for example, western art critics and the general western public tended not to define applied art or decorative art as works of art, or at least to distinguish between them and works, like paintings, with no practical use. Chinese Art did not make this distinction so strongly.
The related terms "artwork" and "art object", used especially in American English, came into use in the 20th century, especially to describe modern and post-modern art, in order to avoid an older syntagma "piece of art" as a concept which was strongly tied with traditional aesthetics.
To establish whether a work is a work of art, the concepts of attribution [disambiguation needed], artistic merit and literary merit may be invoked.
The French form of "art object", objet d'art, has been used for much longer in English and usually means a work of decorative or applied art.
Among practitioners of contemporary art, various new media objects such as the DVD, the web page, and other interactive media have been treated as art objects; such treatment frequently involves a formalist (or "medium-specific") analysis. The formal analysis of computerized media has yielded such art movements as internet art and algorithmic art. The purpose of "new media objects" is not to replace traditional media, but to challenge old media.[wiki]
