My artistic research is concerned with the transmediality of affect through an auto-ethnographic - and often times pluriversal - perspective. My work unfolds through technological installations, texts and performances that inquire into the liminal nature of language, and the poetic-technical image. With an MA degree in Digital Media, I am currently a PhD Candidate at the HfK Bremen (DE) with the PhDArts program at Leiden University. My work has been shown in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb (HR), the Museum of Applied Arts Vienna (AT), and Cidade das Artes in Rio de Janeiro (BR). I am a Studienstiftung scholarship holder, and I was Assistant Professor for New Media at the UdK Berlin (DE), as well as an artistic resident of the European Media Art Platform, a DAAD scholarship holder, a Petra & Dieter Frese Stiftung Preis awardee, among others.

  • From the abyss to the afterglow: On the practice of vibrant contemplation as a mode of artistic research (2024) author(s): Luiz Zanotello published in: Journal for Artistic Research
    Through a form of critical autoethnography, this study diffracts aspects of the author’s artistic practice through the intimate process of mourning to delineate a particular mode of knowledge production within artistic research that queers the relationship between the inside and outside of epistemic and ontological perspectives. The first section considers the abyss as a figure between grief, the unknown, and modes of knowledge production within artistic research. The second section bridges the work of theorising as a form of reconfiguring the world through the study of diffracted light, and further delineates the practice of vibrant contemplation as a method of entangling art practice with theorisation processes beyond a dichotomous opposition between art and science. The final section contemplates the figure of the afterglow as a material-discursive phenomenon that emerges from the temporality of mourning vis-à-vis artistic research. Download Accessible PDF
