The essence of the University of Applied Arts Vienna is the highlight of each academic year and shows selected individual and group works by students and graduates. The works, installations, projects and presentations from all artistic subjects as well as branches of study show the interdisciplinarity and forward-looking thinking of the applied arts - be it in architecture, visual and media art, conservation and restoration, art education and pedagogy, design, social design or language art.
 
Fleur Christine Vitale, together with other participants of the ecm/ 2016-18, curated the annual contribution to essence 18.
 
Archaeutopian Networks
 
It is the year 21**. According to research, the School of Archaeutopia was founded on 29.10.2017 by 24 researchers* of the /ecm 2016-18 at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Since then, it has been investigating social utopias by taking a research-based look at the past and present and developing alternative ideas for the future in terms of form, function, effect and relevance of the museum. 
Here you find yourself in an expandable spatial experiment, in which, on the basis of individual works by the founding members, an attempt is being made to reconstruct the two-year collective discussion and thought process on claims to exhibition and mediation practice. The research results materialize through sounds and threads in space. They symbolise overlaps, connections, links, interfaces, references and networks and remain open to new explorations.
