Konstfack - University of Arts, Crafts and Design
About this portal
Konstfack was founded in 1844 and is one of Sweden’s largest universities for the arts with around 900 students and 200 employees. The school educates the artists, designers, craftspeople, visual art and sloyd teachers of tomorrow, and the programs represent education and research on both artistic and scientific basis.
Art, crafts, design, art- craft- and design-history, visual communication and arts education are the areas of research at Konstfack. The research environment includes externally funded research projects, research within the teacher’s position and a joint doctoral program together with The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH): Art Technology and Design (KTD). The KTD program aims at radically rethinking the relationship between individuals, communities and the environment in order to contribute to a more sustainable society.

DAG SOM OVAN
(last edited: 2020)
author(s): Cecilia Enberg
connected to: Konstfack - University of Arts, Crafts and Design
This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Filmen DAG SOM OVAN utgår från en ärvd kaffekopp och bygger på lusten att söka och se mönster på alla nivåer, från det konkreta till det abstrakta och att ge det mening och betydelse. I detta meningssökande får både de små och stora händelserna likvärdig relevans. Det finns ingen början eller slut. Tidsbegreppet är flytande. I expositionen presenteras referensmaterial till filmen och är uppbyggd som en drömmande vandring.

Placed Sounds Displaced. Sound as a practice in between Art, Architecture and Design
(last edited: 2020)
author(s): Ricardo Atienza Badel
connected to: Konstfack - University of Arts, Crafts and Design
This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Keywords: Sound Art, Sound-Space, Resonance, Sonic Ambiences, Interdisciplinarity.
This exposition aims at sharing a “cross-border” exploration between sonic and spatial research fields. These are traditionally presented and understood as distinct knowledge areas, e.g. Sound Art, Sound Architecture, Sound Design, etc. However, they are intimately connected in experiential and practice-based terms.
A number of referential sound pieces have been chosen here in order to survey this in-between sound-space territory. Each piece prompts a micro-study that reflects on specific interdisciplinary traits. The purpose is to reveal common components and characteristics, parallel or symmetric processes in sound-space disciplines. To that extent, the micro-studies focus on transversal concepts and methods such as resonance, listening, sonic space, sonic ambiences, graphic scores and the materiality of sound, among others.
These referential cases are presented in dialogue with collective and individual sound-space explorations that the author has performed as a researcher, pedagogue and practitioner. All these materials are presented in a non-linear open form in which the visitor is encouraged to choose different paths and to establish own connections among the exposed cases and examples, including his/her own references and pieces.
An intended contribution of this exposition is to nurture a culture of openness at disciplinary boundaries, promoting fertile contagions among in-friction practice and research areas.
