Elisenvaara-Pieksämäki - hajonnut kone
(2021)

Elisenvaara-Pieksämäki –hajonnut kone on taiteellinen tutkimus irtikytkennän tilallisuudesta, jonka tapaustutkimuksena on eräs syrjään jäänyt rautatien raunio.Kun rautatien koneellinen kooste kerran hajosi, muodostui kokemuksesta irti kytketty alue, katve, jossa viitteet hajonneeseen koneeseen asettuvat kokemuksen taustalle, kuin aaveraaja, joka säteilee paikantumattomia tuntemuksia menetetystä raajasta. Tässä kokeellisessa tutkimuksessa kehitetyt harjoitteet ovat yrityksiä vastata ongelmaan: kuinka katveeseen jääneiden rautatien raunioiden aistinen ulottuvuus voidaan kytkeä uudelleen, uudeksi yhteiseksi tilaksi. Asetan Gilles Deleuzen elokuvaa luonnehtivan liike-kuvan käsitteen junamatkustamisen kokemuksen ilmaisulliseksi vastineeksi. Toisissa tiloissa kollektiivin jäsenten: Kati Korosuon ja Timo Jokitalon kanssa toteutetussa esityksessä: Elokuva ilman kameraa (2019) resiina valjastettiin alustaksi radan varren asukkaita osallistaville harjoitteille. Näissä harjoitteissa elokuvan käsite laajenee ilmaisemaan irti kytketyn rautatien aistista tilaa. Teemana irtikytkentä muodostaa taiteelliselle tutkimukselle utopistisen perustan, lähtökohdan, joka ei sijaitse missään. Öisellä resiina matkalla läpi takapajuisen seudun paikattomuuteen rakentui hetkellisesti uusi yhteinen tila. Digitaalista valokuvista, videoista ja kirjoituksesta koostuva ekspositio on koottu luettavaksi tietokoneen ruudulta.
Dear _____, Please Imagine my Birthday
(2019)
author(s): Harold Hejazi
published in: University of the Arts Helsinki
How much of our sense of identity is filtered through social memory—the memory of others and our own? This is a reflection on a performative birthday which attempted to transplant the artist’s community from Victoria, Canada to Helsinki, Finland. Through the medium of larp, the performance explored the ways in which the self is socially produced and sustained through interaction, memory and community. In so doing, the larp offered a self-portrait in which the story of a self was produced collectively.
The Lost and Found project: Imagineering Fragmedialities
(2019)
author(s): Jenny Sunesson
published in: VIS - Nordic Journal for Artistic Research
The Lost and Found project began as an attempt to challenge my own sound making in opposition to a linear, capitalist, narrative tradition, dominated by visual culture.
I wanted to explore the possibilities of sound as a counterpart material risking our perception of what sound is and what it can do.
To reach beyond my own aesthetic and sociocultural baggage, I started to experiment with chance operated live performance as a method.
By multilayering uncategorised sound scraps the work emerged to “produce itself” and I began to catch glimpses of alternative sound worlds and sites.
I called the method fragmenturgy (fragmented dramaturgy) and the alternative realities that were created; fragmedialities (fragmented mediality, fragmented reality).
Mind, the Gap. Synaesthesia and contemporary live art practice.
(2015)
author(s): Amanda Steggell
published in: Norwegian Artistic Research Programme
Misuse can mean the crossing of wires, both literally or figuratively. "Mind, the Gap" (2005-07) is a practice-based research project dedicated to the development of collaborative, interdisciplinary, performative live artworks that are influenced by the notion of synaesthesia - the cross wiring of sensory perceptions. It was conducted within the framework of the Norwegian Artistic Fellowship Programme (previously called the National The Programme for Research Fellowships in the Arts).
The documentation of the project has been reconfigured for the purposes of the Research Catalogue. Apart from some small adjustments, the content remains the same as it was in 2007.
'Beware the Danger of Merging': Conceptual Blending and Cognitive Dissonance in the work of IOU Theatre
(2015)
author(s): Deborah Middleton, Tim Moss
published in: Journal for Artistic Research
This exposition introduces and analyses the work of British-based IOU Theatre, a company that has been exploring intermedial theatre and installation since 1976. IOU's work, we suggest, is characterised by their particular strategies for juxtaposing or fusing images, materials, and artistic media. We explore this aspect of IOU's practice through the lens of emergent cognition by drawing on Fauconnier and Turner's (2002) theory of conceptual blending.
While Fauconnier and Turner's work applies broadly to the process underlying many cognitive acts, their model enables us to develop a nuanced understanding of IOU's particular creative 'blends' and to identify a 'resistance to the blend’ that proves essential to the IOU aesthetic.
The authors have included first-person accounts of some of their own cognitive experiences in response to IOU's work as a way to track the application of conceptual blending in the reception and analysis of an artistic artefact or experience.
The exposition both introduces to a wider readership examples of IOU's oeuvre and proposes a reading of conceptual blending as a tool for understanding creative processes, analysing artistic artefacts, and discussing audience reception – in works that particularly exploit creative collisions of imagery or media. In this way, it is our intention to contribute to artistic research a methodology for analysis and a lens through which some key artistic strategies can be illuminated. Our approach may be of interest to those concerned with the making, analysis, or reception of artistic work that is intermedial in the broadest sense.
