Hello, I am currently a research masters student (MSc) from Maastricht University from the interdisciplinary field of Cultures of Art, Science and Technology. This programme is a two year study that involves practicing multidisciplinary research at the crossroads of science, technology and the arts. I am learning to acquire practical knowledge of methodologies such as interviewing, ethnographic observation, conceptual analysis, rhetorical and narrative analysis, phenomenology and archival research. Furthermore I am learning to develop additional research skills such as defining a research topic, writing, presenting and project management.
My current project is a group one. It is a collaboration of six students and three supervisors based in the area of sound studies. For my part of this project I am looking into the meaning behind the sight of sound in eight of Johannes Vermeer's paintings.
