  N.N-Zwischenliegend - a progressive investigation into errors/eine fortlaufende Untersuchung zu Fehlern (last edited: 2020) author(s): Erika Matsunami This exposition is in progress.
  "N.N-Zwischenliegend": Ich forsche zum Thema "Paradoxität" in einer Kunst (Praxis und Theorie) von einer Dokumentation (Realität) – Zeit, Raum und Körper. Eine künstlerische empirische Forschung. Erster Teil ist N.N-Zwischenliegend - a progressive investigation into errors/eine fortlaufende Untersuchung zu Fehlern (in der Bildwissenschaft und Ästhetik), diese Forschung geht es nicht um digitale photographische Technik, sondern um digitale photographische Technik und experimental Photography heute, und um (Neo-) Repräsentationstheorie (Multimodalität und experimental Dokumentation) : In part of my artistic research in the N.N-Zwischenliegend project – namely digital photography – I am investigating the potentiality of inspiring errors and imperfection, employing three research methods. First, according to the definition, “errors” in this artistic research are not intentional, but rather are created in the concept by chance due to natural phenomena in the digital camera. In the concept of experimental documentary photography of N.N-Zwischenliegend, I did not try to photograph things (Dinge) and objects (Gegenstände) only, but rather I tried to grasp temporal and spatial depth as well as the potentiality of the natural phenomenon. I have implemented this idea in an image with photographic techniques and double exposure, whereby these photographs were combined in the same documentary photo series. Second, I examine the photos for errors from the perspective of different disciplines such as photochemistry, physics, phenomenology, cognitive science, science of images, philosophy, and psychology to reflect whether there are flaws or gaps in the entire N.N-Zwischenliegend series. Third, in the N.N-Zwischenliegend project, I deal with the image as an error or gap with the philosophical reflection on the theme of “estrangement” in the photographic perspective as a narration. If the potential of the fault opened up to us, and if the error thus contributed to an “elasticity” of consciousness or the illusion of depth, I thus question the paradox of seeing in arts, which refers to the question: "Could the fault inspire us in this sense?". To answer this question, in this article I connect to the evolution of consciousness from the perspective of psychology and neuroscience. “The AST (Attention Scheme Theory) covers a lot of ground, from simple nervous systems to simulations of self and others. It provides a general framework for understanding consciousness, its many adaptive uses, and its gradual and continuing evolution.”1 At the same time, it deals with the question of experimental or digital photography today, its perfection and errors in both the world of artistic photography as well as digital culture. 1: Graziano, Michael, A New Theory Explains How Consciousness Evolved - A neuroscientist on how we came to be aware of ourselves, The Atlantic, June 2016.

• „N.N-Zwischenliegend“ – non-calculable time, space and body (last edited: 2020) author(s): Erika Matsunami This exposition is in progress.
  Non-calculable time, space and body is the second part of the artistic research “N.N-Zwischenliegend.” This part consists of three main questions: How to create a documentary that is not binary proof? Is it possible to understand an artistic documentation (a work of art) as knowledge? Is it possible to conceive an artistic documentation (a work of art)? These questions refer to the subject of Arti-fact, resp. to the part three „N.N-Zwischenliegend" of my artistic research. In doing so, I attempt to investigate the subject of aesthetic contemplation, which frequently relates to the cultural evolution. For this I require self-reflection on whether a work of art could be a documentation on the topics of space, time and body. The third part of this artistic research is on spatial installation. The three important elements in this part are the photographs which I took in the city of Berlin, the sounds which I recorded in the city of Berlin, and the interviews with Berliners.

  Through Segments — Durchlässige Segmente (last edited: 2020) author(s): Hanns Holger Rutz, David Pirrò, Ji Youn Kang, Daniele Pozzi This exposition is in progress.
  Through Segments is a sound installation in an unusual interstitial space—the staircase of the Kunsthaus’ Iron House that connects to the “Friendly Alien”. Four artists listen into the storeys using real-time computer algorithms, taking an acoustical image of the visitors’ movements, forming four individual reactions. It is a poetic attempt to think about the distributed, the fragmented, the parallel. During the development phase, the artists work independently, but at the same time they observe and interrogate each other, performing the gesture of a “simultaneous arrival” (Sara Ahmed). They enact a human algorithm, informed by reiteration and duplication but never being identical. The aim is not one “of all converging towards the same, but circulating, making common relaying, relaying back, being relayed” (Isabelle Stengers).

  Sonic Politics: Sonority, Territoriality, and Violence in Urban Cultural Practices in Brazil (2020) author(s): Pedro Silva Marra and Thaise Valentim Madeira published in: Journal of Sonic Studies
  In this paper we build upon Gumbrecht’s definition of violence as all acts and all forms of behavior that occupy or block spaces through bodies, against the resistance of other bodies, in order to explore the relationship between sound and violence. Examined within a broader context, it may reveal how conflict and disputes are – as much as acts of exchanging and bonding – engines of society.

  The Triangle and the Thin Biscuit: Reverberations of a Walking Practice (2020) author(s): Thaís Amorim Aragão published in: Journal of Sonic Studies
  The sound of the triangle played by street vendors who sell a kind of wafer, known as chegadinho, in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza is often associated with childhood memories. Taken together, however, these acoustically marked trajectories can reveal complex dynamics regarding the city's own territory and its relationship to other places in Latin America and Europe. This article aims to present data collected from street vendors who reported on how they use sound and space to communicate with the population. I also discuss documentary research on the precedence of the practice as well as its influence on Brazilian music.
