Image as Site: Kompass
(2025)
Ellen J Røed
KOMPASS is part of the artistic research project Image as Site at Stockholm University of the Arts in which Ellen Røed and Signe Lidén have developed a method for field recording that combines sound and image in a distinct form of attentional (aesth)ethics. They explore how instruments, time and movement are included in and affect the relationships between bodies, images and places, between experience and representation, in various forms of field recordings.
Image as Site: Unarchiving Nono
(2025)
Ellen J Røed
Unarchiving Nono (2017 – 2022) by Ellen Røed and Bjørnar Habbestad operates as a form of comment or intervention on archiving musical material hidden away from an acoustic everyday life. The project has developed through a method where human memory is examined and activated as a carrier of the musical material, and where musical material is moved out of the archive and unfolded into a local reality. Through an iterative process of listening, remembering and performing each performance is influenced by a new layer of spatial acoustics and everyday sounds, stored with the musical performance, gradually building up to trandform the musical material by spatial layering.

Resonating Pathways: Artistic Research in a Multicultural/Multimedia/Multilingual Context
(2025)
Madam Neverstop
The RESONANS festival, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, operates as a comprehensive artistic research project that critically examines the intersections of multimedia arts, community engagement, and cultural diversity. By establishing a dynamic circular process, the festival acts as a platform for multimedia and multicultural dialogue, facilitating meaningful exchanges among artists, scholars, and community members.
This exposition aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the festival’s methodology and developmental trajectory, placing particular emphasis on its iterative process and agile project management strategies. These methodologies enable the festival to adaptively respond to participant feedback and emergent artistic expressions, thereby fostering an environment that promotes innovation and inclusivity.
In addition, the RESONANS festival addresses significant themes, including humanity's relationship with the environment and the diversification of the Nordic cultural landscape. Through a series of curated events, workshops, and performances, the festival invites participants to engage in critical discussions surrounding ecological consciousness and cultural representation.

Master Performing Public Space - David Limaverde
Public Positions - looking into the works of MA PPS artists and their Public Spaces.
With this new collective online publication, MA PPS curates past and current alumni artistic research processes and practices that encapsulate references and positions of public space discourse. The publication serves as documentation of artists who developed (part of) their research together with the programme, and that shares their valuable contribution to the field of Performing Public Space.
