• Archival Resonance (2024) author(s): Marco Dell' Abate published in: Royal Academy of Art, The Hague
  The thesis deals with the theme of cultural loss in Salento (South-East of Italy) by investigating 4 different contexts where loss is happening, and how elements of cultural heritage translate and degrade into the contemporary age: • Language, with an investigation of the ancient Grìko language, a tongue of lower Salento, in state of disappearing • The Olive Tree, once a cornerstone of Salentinian agrarian tradition, now subjected to a rapid decay due to the Xylella bacteria, and the political/social inability to deal with the problem • Dry-stone walls, a practice in process of being forgotten. This theme is used as a gateway to talk about embodied cognition, and the impossibility to translate a whole culture in a digital context • Taranta, once a practice of emotional re/expression, now disappeared in its entire- ty as a ritual and only existing as a memory

  A Guide To Nether-Hell : A Journey Through Depiction & Experience From A Nether-Divergent Perspective (2024) author(s): Lorenzo Quint published in: Royal Academy of Art, The Hague
  Thesis of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, 2022 BA Interactive Media Design I was born and raised in The Netherlands, a country that is seen and communicated as a rich and prosperous country where you can be yourself and over/underwhelm yourself in the lowlands paradise. But what if you don’t always feel like you belong in it? When you don’t feel like you fit the frame or archetype, it can feel like you go through hell. In my case, it’s the archetype of my neurodivergence (PDDNOS/ADHD) vs the neurotypical mindset. The Netherlands shares its low geological position with the Nether-Hell from Dante Alghieri’s Inferno. Starting from that position and looking at The Netherlands through that lens, my thesis is in a constant zigzag between hell on earth and hell in fiction but also targeting the archetypes like demons / sinners / the location of hell, the feeling of hell and the acceptance of hell. When you don’t fit in a frame that is shaped by a certain status quo, you seek comfort in the damned. The Damned are the poor, lame, sick and the blind. The reader is challenged to look at sins and taboos through a lens of politics, policy and pop culture. Who is the decision maker and why would one follow? into eternity. When it comes to the status quo, the question is stopped with the answer: “Because we have always done it like this.” He who pays the piper, calls the tune.

  The course Place to Action - Art that Interferes is motivated and inspired by places. More specifically: the histories, contexts, narratives, situations, circumstances and people’s interactions and intra-actions and relationships with locations, which form places. Lingering in places with attention, listening to them and experimenting the possible ways of movement within them. These attentive gazes of places will initiate interdisciplinary artistic actions and interventions that aim to explore and reflect the possibilities of art to interfere. Here on this exposition the group will share their findings and actions.

  The other's sonic experience; Bus22 (2021) author(s): Kim Minji connected to: Royal Academy of Art, The Hague published in: Research Catalogue
  The research includes one and a half years of artistic practice and research about the sonic experience while highlighting the exploration of the ‘Sonic experience of the others’. It starts from a first-person – myself; what I am listening to now? It quested by sound notation in an explicit form and listening performance to understand the structure of hearing in a philosophical way. Then, the research shows how the writer’s interest moved to ‘the other’ with the question: What is this I’m listening to and how is it different what you’re hearing? and attempts to bring the method of fiction to reveal the third person’s sonic experience. Bus 22 is an audio-playback fiction with visual instructions. It helped by two keywords, Anamnesis: mnemo-perceptive effects, and Voice in thoughts: storytelling. At the last, the author talks about difficulties in the process, nevertheless, the perceived artistic value of the topic as non-objected oriented sound art.

  Do Androids remember they once dreamed of Electric Sheep? (last edited: 2024) author(s): Shizhe Qian This exposition is in review and its share status is: visible to all.
  Thesis of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, 2024 BA Photography My research paper, Do Androids remember they once dreamed of Electric Sheep? investigates the interplay between artificial intelligence and human cognition, focusing on the theme of "dreams" as a metaphorical and literal framework for understanding large language models (LLMs). Starting with a personal reflection on the nature of knowledge, the research probes the philosophical question of what can truly be known, using the enigmatic functionality of LLMs like ChatGPT as a focal point. It challenges traditional views by comparing the often-unpredictable outputs of LLMs to the elusive and revealing nature of dreams.
