Szívküldi Lakótelep: the urge for phygital, ludic communities
Judit NavratilThis publication is based on the author’s doctoral research in Artistic Research at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (Angewandte), originally submitted as a Reflective Document in 2025. It traces Judit Navratil’s long-term, practice-based inquiry into digital belonging and topophilia. It engenders community-making across social VR through embodied, participatory forms. Navratil’s artistic research PhD is framed by her experience as an immigrant in continuous transit and movement.
Judit Navratil’s practice is multivalent, engaging performance, social practices, drawing, as well as video and extended realities. Her projects are mappings of what it means to continuously oscillate in-between phygital; an immigrant’s attempt to re/construct “home.” Navratil keeps balance through her compass-meditation: Long Distance Somersaulting. Rolling as far as she can helps her seek higher alternatives and to gaze in the Eye of the Hurricane.
