  Att uttala det kroppsliga – på spaning att överbrygga skådespelarens arbete med kroppen som instrument, rörelsegestaltning och dramatisk text (2024) author(s): Olof Halldin, Aleksandra Czarnecki Plaude published in: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
  Teater Västernorrlands Dödsdansen utgår från en ny bearbetning. I Aleksandra Czarnecki Plaudes regi är kroppen, rörelsen och musiken tre starka medspelare till August Strindbergs klassiska verk. I rollerna ser vi Teater Västernorrlands skådespelare Gisela Nilsson, Åke Arvidsson och Kaj Ahlgren. August Strindbergs klassiska verk från år 1900 utspelar sig i en tid av förberedelse inför en karantän. De äkta makarna artillerikaptenen Edgar och den före detta skådespelerskan Alice är isolerade på en skärgårdsö. Inför sin silverbröllopsdag får de ett oväntat besök av nära vännen Kurt och ett osande triangeldrama tar sin början. Projektet avser dels fånga och kommunicera mina arbetsmetoder, dels generera ny kunskap i frågan om skådespelarens fördjupade gestaltningsarbete av dramatisk text med och via kroppen som instrument och rörelsegestaltning. Syftet är att genom praktiskt arbete och i samarbete med professionella skådespelare samla, artikulera och kommunicera det specifika i övergången mellan kropp- och textarbete, tvärs genom hela processen, det vill säga från förberedelsefas via repetition till publikmöte. Dödsdansen är resultatet av själva metoden?

  ARTISTS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE (2024) author(s): Linda Janson, Mirko Lempert published in: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
  In the dynamic interplay between art and technology, the integration of artificialintelligence (AI) has opened new frontiers of exploration and expression. Our researchproject, initiated in 2021, ventured into this evolving landscape with a mission to examinethe relationship between AI and contemporary artistic practices. Focusing primarily ontext and image synthesis using AI technologies, our project embarked on an in-depthexploration of the creative potentials and limitations of Large Language Models (LLM).This journey was far more than a technical exercise; it represented a deep dive into thefusion of creativity and technology, examine traditional workflows, especially related topre-production in filmmaking. The project revealed AI's capacity to both emulate andstimulate human creativity, offering insights into the capabilities and boundaries of LLM inartistic creation. These reflections are not just a recount of past achievements but a lensthrough which one can view the potential and future intersections of art and machineintelligence.Leading the research project are Linda Janson, a production designer with over 30 yearsof experience in the art departments of films, TV series, and commercials, currentlyserving as a senior lecturer in production design at Stockholm University of the Arts, andMirko Lempert, founder of the company Monocular. Monocular specializes in integratingAI with traditional 2D/3D techniques for practical applications in visual content creation.This project is driven by their collective goal to investigate the practical applications of AIin visual arts, combining Linda’s extensive industry experience and academic backgroundwith Mirko’s expertise in applying AI technologies. Their joint effort focuses on enhancingthe methodologies of visual arts and design education to align with the ongoingadvancements in digital technology.We would also like to recognize and express our gratitude to PhD candidate Marc Johnson, whose significant contributions were instrumental in initiating this researchendeavor and who has continuously supported the process with valuable advice andexpertise.Lastly, we wish to emphasize that Chat-GPT served as an editorial assistant in thecomposition of this report. This involvement was twofold: as an integral part of ourresearch methodology and as a proficient contributor, aiding in the summarization,formalization, and articulation of arguments to deepen the discourse on the topic ofArtificial Intelligence in the visual arts.

  FACT stage one (2024) author(s): Jenny Sunesson published in: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
  The research project FACT stage one aims to test the sonic capacity of fragmenturgy (developed by Sunesson 2014–19) as a method to unsettle polarised positions of areas and sites existing outside of the visual power structures and political strongholds. The long-term purpose is to develop a Fragmenturgy ACtion Tool (FACT); a transitory toolbox for cultivating fragmenturgy methods and actions. FACT stage one consists of a comprehensive case study carried out in collaboration with a group of students aged 18–23 based at Uppsala Community College in Sweden, which was explored as a site during 2021.

  Ett osynligt stycke tyg (2024) author(s): Jenny Sunesson published in: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
  Ett osynligt stycke tyg essä av Jenny Sunesson, 2022 redigerad 2023 Förord (2023) Ett osynligt stycke tyg är en essä som utgår från två olika, men ändå överlappande, konstnärliga processer; forskningsprojektet FACT stage one, och det soldrivna, ljudkonstprojektet UNDER. Essän utforskar ljudets och lyssnandets specifika kapaciteter utifrån min konstnärliga fältinspelningspraktik, vilket är den “ljudmodalitet” som jag har arbetat med i över 20 år. Texten diskuterar ljudets och lyssnandets platsrelaterade, politiska och dolda förmågor när det gäller att utmana det “vi tror vi vet” om mänskliga och mer-än-mänskliga organismer – och som ett möjligt verktyg för att hitta öppningar och uppenbarelser bortom stereotypiskt vetande.

  Epiphanies of an Invisible weave (2024) author(s): Jenny Sunesson published in: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
  Epiphanies of an Invisible weave essay by Jenny Sunesson, 2022 edited in 2023 Translated by Steven Cuzner Preface (2023) Epiphanies of an Invisible weave is an essay written during the processes of two different, yet overlapping, projects; the research project FACT stage one, and the solar driven, sound art project UNDER. The essay explores the specific capacities and possibilities of sound and listening through the specific mode of field recording, which is the sonic modality that I have exploring for more than 20 years. The essay aims to shed some light on the site-related, political, and hidden potentials of sound as it examines the possibilities of (re)-learning through listening in relation to both human and more-than-human explorations and possible “epiphanies”, imagining openings beyond stereotypical knowing. /Jenny Sunesson Image copyright: Ida Lindgren
