  N.N-Zwischenliegend - a progressive investigation into errors/eine fortlaufende Untersuchung zu Fehlern (last edited: 2019) author(s): Erika Matsunami This exposition is in progress.
  In part of my artistic research in the project N.N-Zwischenliegend, namely digital photography, I am investigating the potentiality of inspiring errors and imperfection. There are three research methods. First, according to the definition, “errors” in this artistic research are not intentional, but 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, so 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. Thirdly, 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 would open up to us, and if the error would thus contribute to an “elasticity” of consciousness, then could the fault inspire us in this sense? To answer this question, in this article I connect to the evolution of consciousness from the point of view 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 photography today or digital photography today, its perfection and errors both in the world of artistic photography as well as in 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. Ich untersuche in dem Projekt N.N-Zwischenliegend im Rahmen meiner künstlerischen Forschung, die die digitale Fotografie ist, die Potenzialität inspirierender Fehler. Es gibt drei Forschungsmethoden: Erstens: Nach der Definition sind „Fehler“ in dieser künstlerischen Forschung nicht absichtlich, sondern Fehler entstehen im Konzept durch Zufall aufgrund von natürlichen Phänomenen in der Digitalkamera. Im Konzept der experimentellen dokumentarischen Fotografie N.N-Zwischenliegend habe ich nicht nur Dinge und andere Objekte (Gegenstände) fotografiert, sondern ich habe neben der zeitlichen und räumlichen Tiefe auch versucht, die Potenzialität der natürlichen Phänomen zu erfassen; diese Idee habe ich in einem Bild mit fotografischer Technik sowie Doppelbelichtung umgesetzt, damit wurden diese Fotografien in derselben dokumentarischen Fotoserie zusammengefasst. Zweitens: Ich untersuche die Fotos auf Fehler aus der Perspektive unterschiedlicher Disziplinen wie Fotochemie, Physik, Phänomenologie, Kognitionswissenschaft, Bildwissenschaft, Philosophie und Psychologie, um zu reflektieren, ob sie Fehler oder Lücken in der ganzen Fotoserie N.N-Zwischenliegend sind. Drittens: In dem Projekt N.N-Zwischenliegend möchte ich mich mithilfe des Bildes als Fehler oder Lücke mit der philosophischen Reflexion zum Thema ,Estrangement‘ in der fotografischen Perspektive als Narration auseinandersetzen. Wenn sich uns das Potenzial der Fehler erschließen würde und Fehler somit zu einer „Elastizität“ des Bewusstseins beitragen würden, könnten uns die Fehler dann in diesem Sinne inspirieren? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, stelle ich in diesem Beitrag eine Verbindung zur Evolution des Bewusstseins aus Sicht der Psychologie und Neurowissenschaft her. „Die AST (Attention Schema Theory) deckt eine ganze Reihe von Bereichen ab, vom einfachen Nervensystem bis zur Simulation des eigenen Ich und anderer. Es bietet einen allgemeinen Rahmen für das Verständnis des Bewusstseins, seiner vielen anpassungsfähigen Anwendungen und seiner allmählichen und fortlaufenden Entwicklung. (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 Gleichzeitig geht es um die Frage nach der experimentellen Fotografie heute bzw. der digitalen Fotografie heute, nach deren Perfektion und Fehlern sowohl in der Kunst als auch in der digitalen Kultur.

  Episodi vol 6 Introduction (2019) author(s): Tero Nauha published in: University of the Arts Helsinki
  Episodi is a series published by the Live Art and Performance Studies (LAPS) pro-gramme in Theatre Academy of the Uniarts Helsinki. This sixth volume of Episodi, 'Signatures' consists of six online expositions by the MA students of the LAPS pro-gramme, Harold Hejazi, Katriina Kettunen, Yuan Mor’O Ocampo, Daniela Pascual Esparza, Olga Spyropoulou and Nicolina Stylianou, where these are reflections on the LAPSody festival that commenced on February 21-23, or individual research. For the first time, Episodi will be published in an online format using the Research Catalogue (RC) publishing platform.

  What colour is Signature? (2019) author(s): etherlinna published in: University of the Arts Helsinki
  What Colour is Signature? acts as a platform with a score to play and experiment with different compositional structures. The platform aims to create a non-intensive means to enjoy the possible mental representations you may experience when listening to sounds that negotiate the amount of noise and information. Fluxus and Avant Garde art in 1960s often explored the relation between noise and silence and how it is communicated within a space (during the so called ‘happenings’).  Noise (or the source of randomness) shifts the listener’s perception to the non-sense that art often produces, and brings into play the attempt of the mind to focus on the mental representations it is creating.  Therefore, the non-sense (noise and silence) in itself acts as a measurement of information.
