SAR 2021 presentation - Korsten Dejong
(2022)
author(s): Jonas Howden Sjøvaag
published in: SAR Conference 2020
In their Paper Performance ‘Elastic Ekphrastic,’ Korsten & De Jong will test the translatability of an ‘original.’ They will explore what narrative is formed out of the context of instruments of translation. What is the agency of misunderstanding, misinterpreting and miscommunication? And if one translates, does one free a text from a fixed meaning or does one force the text in yet another prison of meaning? Korsten & De Jong conduct artistic research through recorded dialogues over the phone with bad connections and interruptions. After transcribing the dialogues, they combine different conversations, they switch position, manipulate the texts and translate them. They will attend the conference via a live conversation in a long distance call with Austrian interpreters that live outside of Austria. This paper performance also reflects on the current SARS-CoV-19 measures in which live communication is a dangerous action forcing the dialogue to take place behind plexiglass panels and computer screens.
“If science attempts to understand the phenomena of the world, this understanding is communicable only when the world re-emerges through the scientist’s instruments – either through statistics, or formulae, or diagrams, or images. Thus, it can be argued that the world is presented after undergoing a treatment of translation. (12)”
Mapping the Unseen(the virtual Mapping)
(2022)
author(s): Katrin Ackerl Konstantin
published in: SAR Conference 2020
Mapping the Unseen investigated unseen, undiscussed topics - topics that are absent from public discourse, because of their implicit social taboo potential.
The artistic research was carried out by means of mapping, encompassing performative interventions and an interactive archive. It was realised with artists and art groups in four countries: Croatia, Iran, Bangladesh and Austria. The research method was interwoven with transdisciplinary methods. Enabling a visualisation of the respective topics and generating dialogue through participatory processes were at the core of this project.
Asymmetries in the Urban Space
(2022)
author(s): Ramon Parramon
published in: SAR Conference 2020
Art project using research and cross-disciplinary work, applied to contexts in transition and defined by asymmetries, in which ways of living, locations or activities are the result of instability, transience or fragility, circumstances which at the same time demand projects which open up to change these situations.
ASYMMETRIES is founded upon applied research, and will attempt to generate projects based on methodologies combining the analysis of spaces with proposals which incorporate structures, components and various agents working to resolve them.
This presentation introduces the artistic research carried out in collaboration with social groups in the Ciutat Vella district of the city of Barcelona and that has taken the name of Asymmetries-Abecedarium (2019).
Sonic Complexion
(2022)
author(s): Jacob Anderskov, Niclas Hundahl
published in: Rhythmic Music Conservatory, Copenhagen
The Sonic Complexion project has investigated from an artistic perspective the musical dimensions texture and ‘klang’ (harmony), with the aim of creating new music and new perspectives. The outcomes of the project are a number of new albums, methodologies and perspectives, coming from quite different starting point in terms of how to systematically-artistically investigate texture and harmony.
Rooms of Resonance
(2022)
author(s): Lars Greve
published in: Rhythmic Music Conservatory, Copenhagen
This is the final exposition for Lars Greves artistic research project "Rooms of Resonance" (2019-21), undertaken at the Rhythmic Conservatory in Copenhagen.
The project seeks to investigate the artistic potentials in Greves acoustic solo improvisations, the concert room's acoustics and selected objects, which are brought into vibration.
Through experiments and procedural concerts, the research has hoisted artistic, technological and methodological experiences which will be unfolded in this exposition.
