  iTouch Store (2025) author(s): Jewellery witch Seraphita published in: Research Catalogue
  iTouch Store is a video created for the eponymous exhibition, where physical jewellery is presented in a speculative advertising style. Rejecting words, it offers the viewer a tactile experience through visual perception, reminiscent of advertisements for beauty industry devices. Jewellery, animated video effects, and a multi-layered composition transform this film into an exploration of the boundaries of touch in the digital age. How does jewellery feel when it can only be touched with the eyes?
 iTouch Store, 2019, A-Gallery, Tallinn
 Editing and effects: Ando Naulainen
 Sound: Andres Nõlvak
 Concept and jewellery: Darja Popolitova

  Pozorování a jeho popis (2025) author(s): Roman Štětina published in: Research Catalogue
  (CZ) Předmětem mého výzkumu je ekfráze – detailní obrazný popis, který svou přesvědčivostí vyvolává ve čtenářově či posluchačově mysli vizuální představy nebo jiné multisenzorické, emocionální a estetické prožitky. Prostřednictvím setkání a rozhovorů s lidmi z různých oborů se snažím přiblížit roli popisu napříč historií i rozličnými oblastmi lidské činnosti. Zkoumám, jak se měnilo postavení popisu coby kdysi esenciálního stavebního prvku rozhlasových pořadů. Dále jeho význam a užití jako jedné z prvních forem reprodukce umění, analytického kunsthistorického nástroje nebo nedílné pomůcky při interpretaci výtvarných děl. Zaměřuji se také na jeho aplikaci v podobě promptu pro generátory obrázků založených na strojovém učení a trénování neuronových sítí. A věnuji prostor také úloze popisu v životě nevidomých a zrakově hendikepovaných i jeho funkci jako klíčového nástroje v psychoterapeutické praxi. Podstatnou součást práce tvoří sdílení konkrétních pedagogických postupů při výuce umění v intermediálním ateliéru na Akademii výtvarných umění v Praze (AVU) a v kurzu intermediální přípravky tamtéž. V tomto prostředí, kde se často pohybujeme mezi médii, hraje ekfráze zásadní roli – umožňuje překlenout mezeru mezi slovy a obrazy, respektive plní roli žánru prostředkujícího mezi médii. V závěru disertační práce prezentuji vlastní umělecký audit v podobě autorské knihy. Zároveň uvádím sbírku ekfrází převážně fiktivních uměleckých děl, které jsem během svého výzkumu nashromáždil od studujících a vyučujících na AVU. úvodní ilustrace: Martin Groch (EN) My research topic is the ekphrasis, i.e., a detailed figurative description that, with its conclusiveness, evokes visual images or other multisensory, emotional and aesthetic experiences in the reader’s or listener’s mind. Through meetings and interviews with people from different disciplines, I try to approach the role of description throughout history and various areas of human activity. I examine how the notion of description as a historically essential building block of radio programmes has changed. Furthermore, the emphasis is put on its importance and use as one of the first forms of art reproduction, as an analytical tool for art historians or as a crucial device for artwork interpretation. I also focus on its application in prompting of image generators based on machine learning and neural network training. And I also consider the role of description in the lives of the blind and visually impaired as well as it being a key tool in psychotherapy. A substantial part of the work is dedicated to the dissemination of specific pedagogical practices in teaching art in the Intermedia Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (AVU) and in the intermedia preparatory course there. In this environment, where we often switch between various media, the ekphrasis has a crucial role. It allows us to bridge the gap between words and images, or rather it represents a genre that mediates between the given media. In the conclusion of my dissertation, I present my own artistic audit represented by my artist's book. At the same time, I present a collection of ekphrases of mostly fictional works of art that I collected from students and teachers at the Academy of Fine Arts during my research. thumbnail by Martin Groch

• The digital Square (2025) author(s): Ulrika Malmgren published in: Research Catalogue
  The digital Square- The art of impact Project summary A democratic conversation in artistic form on a digital square. Does immersive storytelling have potential in the public space? The dramaturgy in the experiments is non-linear and is based on theatre traditions as well as acting and documentary narrative traditions. We started up the relation to the audience in Skärholmen,Stockholm with our newly produced Virtual Reality story" The Blue Blue" &together with two actors we walk between the two rooms,seamless with no discrepanzy between the different medias and together with the audience we solve a problem. We have test groups and workshops together with our audience -from 12 years.Your look at you and yours. My look at me and mine. And so we meet. Phase 2 of the research will connect young people , in Skärholmen and Soweto where images via projection mapping take place on the facades.The methods is once again from the 2000 year old theatre tradition combined with documentary storytelling and the most modern immersive and digital tools.
