Metamorphosis - Ethics and Aesthetics are One - from a Neuroscientific Perspective II (2025) Erika Matsunami
This research is an advanced research of Metamorphosis - Ethics and Aesthetics are One - from a Neuroscientific Perspective in 2024. I explore post feminist theory from a new perspective in the 21st century. Thereby I deal with spatiality between virtual reality and physical space theoretically and practically. Wittgenstein's "Ethics and Aesthetics are one" is the starting point of this research. "In the Notebooks, Wittgenstein states that 'the world and life are one', so perhaps the following can be said. Just as the aesthetic object is the single thing seen as if it were a whole world, so the ethical object, or life, is the multiplicity of the world seen as a single object". (Diané Collinson, The British Journal of Aesthetics, Volume 25, Issue 3, SUMMER 1985, pages 266-272) Art transcends boundaries of race, nationality and gender. It is a creative act of unifying in the context of humanity, from the subject to the various topics, by asking questions. This point is the lack of "reality" (dealing with reality) from a sociological perspective. But it is impossible to define humanity and reality based on sociological statistics alone–is my perspective of Wittgenstein's "Ethics and Aesthetics are one". Thereby, I examine 'world and life' from the 21st century perspective.

The Institute for Piedilogical Research (2025) Diana Ferro
DoPeopleLikeYourFeet? The first workshop held by the Institute for Piedilogical Research aims to question basic assumptions at the foundations of spatial practice such as how we orient in space, what is the ground we stand on, how we move through space with our feet and so on. As xenofoot research scientists, we propose an intensive training schedule alternating between walking practices in the territory of Calarasi and reflective/ making/transcendental moments on the grounds of EASA community. As walking is really close to doing nothing (Solnit,2000), it opens up a world of possibilities for the participants that allow encounters with local inhabitants, found materials, conversations, random observations and visions of other dimensions to affect what they will make or write or perform or preach throughout the time of the workshop.
