Peter Troxler

transdisciplinarity practitioner

Manager and producer of cross-artform events, arts festivals, drama / theatre.

My main interest is in interdisciplinary work that includes and integrates arts, academia and media, and that strives for public involvement.

I am particularly attracted to combinations that seem awkward at first sight, such as open content and making money, artistic expression and academic analysis, or analogue and digital.

I am co-founder of unbla.org where we are researching methods of matchmaking and knowledge transfer.
