  P E R I C A R D I U M (2023) author(s): Sara Key, Max Landergård, Susana Santa-Marta published in: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
  A COLLAB work about the current position of mankind where we are at in the NOW - a comment on that and an exploration of the automatization and the relationship between the human essence and the artificial. Skin is the membrane that divides inside from outside, what is important and not, what is alive and not. Skin represents the human and at the same time the contrahent to the artificial. We live in a time where everyone is trying to tell us which world will be the best for us to live in. We want you to tell you.

  A topian artistic methodology (2022) author(s): Kevin Walker published in: Journal for Artistic Research
  This exposition details a methodology for artistic research based on the book Utopia as Method by sociologist Ruth Levitas. It involves specific methods at three levels of analysis: archaeological, architectural, and ontological. Practical work is produced using archaeological and architectural methods, aimed at triangulating onto contemporary ontological issues. The term ‘topian’ was chosen in order to incorporate both utopian and dystopian perspectives — this term, from the Greek ‘topos’ meaning place, frames an artistic practice in relation to one or more sites of investigation. The methodology was applied in a residency project split between London and Athens, focused on sculptures from the Parthenon that link the two cities. Museums in both cities served as sites of archaeological and architectural investigation. Work included speculative site mapping and stratigraphy, drawing and photography of artefacts, printmaking, and 3D modelling. Works were exhibited in a group exhibition in Athens, ‘Contemporary Archaeologies’.

  Walking to Utopia and Thinking About Art Along the Way (2021) author(s): Ulvi Haagensen published in: RUUKKU - Studies in Artistic Research
  Walking through the old town of Tallinn, where everything is quiet because shops, cafés and restaurants are closed, some permanently because of a lack of tourists due to the pandemic and others temporarily because of the current lockdown, I experience the city in a new way. The city is different and no longer am I drawn in by the enticement of what I could or should buy. I no longer peer in the café window to see if there is an available table, in the expectation of a pastry and a coffee. Art galleries and museums are also closed. I’m closed out but this strange situation means there is time to stop, notice and think, space to walk and an opportunity to see things differently. There is freedom to imagine new worlds, other possibilities, and new ways of seeing and being. I look at shop windows, peer into art galleries, think about my own window exhibition in the context of these other windows, and in the process take in a full experience of visual art in the form of installations, performance art and even participation art. At the same time my thoughts take me to completely other utopian worlds where things are quite different. The walk, though initially purposeful, becomes something more than a walk. It starts to meander and – combined with what I see, remember and imagine – it becomes a meandering text with images and ideas that click in and out of focus.

  Music for the inner ear (2020) author(s): Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard published in: Rhythmic Music Conservatory, Copenhagen
  Our fantasy has crumbled - yet we must go into utopia to articulate alternative realities that will allow us to escape the current systems we are living in and by. What can we do if we only dream pragmatic and rational dreams that speak into already existing paradigms and systems? When a catastrophic or sudden event occurs we often say that reality exceeds fantasy, this being the exception of the norm, but what if reality exceeding fantasy is in fact the norm - and not vice versa? - what if our fantasy has crumbled in such a degree that we only are capable of imagining realities and solutions which already fit into a dysfunctional system? Are we doomed? - or do we dare to go full on into utopia? In the artistic research project; Music for the inner Ear - Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard looks into the realms of imaginary sound and sonic potentiality unfolded within different artistic domains - raising the questions; Is it possible to create imaginary music only audible for the inner ear of the listener & when does something actually exist? In the project the notion of potentiality is a main driver both in activating the listener but also simply by addressing the potential of potentiality.

  Poliittisen utopian sinnikkyys – Representaatioanalyysiä piirtämällä (2016) author(s): Kalle Lampela published in: RUUKKU - Studies in Artistic Research
  Esitän tekstissäni, kuinka reaalisosialismin kuvasto, yhteiskuntatieteelliset metodit ja piirtäminen muodostavat monitieteisen tutkimuskokonaisuuden. Tutkimusprosessi etenee tutkimusaineistoa katsomalla ja piirtämällä. Myös aineistonanalyysi toteutuu piirtämällä. Verbalisoin tässä tekstissä tutkimusprosessin eri vaiheita, lähestymistavassani vaikuttavia tutkimusmetodeja ja aiheen kannalta olennaista poliittista historiaa lähinnä edesmenneiden sosialististen aikakauslehtien (DDR-Revue ja Neuvostoliitto) konteksteissa. Tuon piirrettyjen johtopäätösten rinnalle myös sanallisen loppukoonnin. Mutta ihan aluksi, palatkaamme aikaan, jolloin reaalisosialismi tuli tiensä päähän.

  Passions of Utopia (last edited: 2023) author(s): Johannes Rydinger, Nicia Ivonne Fernandez Grijalva, Yasmin Henra van Dorp This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  The Passions of Utopia is a collaborative artistic research project exploring futuremaking and storytelling through the lens of a 360-camera and telenovela tropes. By using the cynical, plastical and exaggerated form of the telenovela we are trying to explore themes such as future, desire and truth. Part of the process led to a 20 minutes VR-experience where the audience can take part in a immersive telenovela. It was also showed at ETC Solpark as a part of the interdisciplinary exposition and publication Awesome Arrarat Throguh a web of different methods, where classic film production work flows and 360-action camera filmmaking is weaved together with site specific installations, we also want to explore narratives that contribute to fiction storytelling through VR in a playful way The team consists of Yasmin Van Dorp, Nicia Fernández and Johannes Rydinger, students at the masterprogram The Art of Impact at Stockholm University of the Arts

• Dialogical Structures (last edited: 2021) author(s): Torben Körschkes, Ina Römling This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  As a nomadic communication practice, the Dialogical Structures explore alternative forms of linguistic-spatial negotiations by means of dialogically designed objects and structures. In the following, we formulate a relationship between artistic practice and utopian thinking on the basis of three theses, starting from the Dialogical Structures. We try to make clear to what extent an expanded concept of space and speculative artistic research, methodically brought together, form practices of imagination.
