  The Salford samples (2017) author(s): Joanne Scott published in: Journal for Artistic Research
  The Salford Samples is a practice-as-research project in intermedial place-making. Using materials that arise from the city of Salford, including fragments of its cultural history, an autobiographical audio diary, and images/footage of the place itself, a range of shifting combinations are created. Through the mixing of diverse materials, as part of live performances and in online 'video-texts', issues related to this fast-moving, redeveloping, and conversely traditional and static place, arise. Specifically, questions around 'solastalgia' or 'the distress that is produced by environmental change impacting on people while they are directly connected to their home environment’ (Albrecht et al. 2007, 95) emerge. In addition, these factors both foster and disrupt 'place-attachment' in a contemporary urban environment.

  ‘It’s cowboy country up there’: Ruination and Ruinenlust in the wilds of Broughton (2020) author(s): Joanne Scott published in: Research Catalogue
  This article articulates and reflects on dual practices that arise from concurrently responding to my home locality through creative research and resident action. It considers these parallel practices through the dual notions of wildness and ruins/ruination. The critical writing is punctuated with artefacts of both practices, generating a mode of intermedial writing that, through placing these elements and critical reflection in direct conversation, allows feeling-thoughts to emerge about the process of researching a locality in which you are embedded, as well as the wild and ruined features of contemporary urban landscapes.

  Urban Wild_Life: Exploring affective relationships with wild urban nature through creative digital practices (2023) author(s): Joanne Scott published in: Research Catalogue
  This research project arose from encounters with wild more than human beings in city spaces close to where I live. The encounters themselves were very rich, complex and flowing over with meanings and feelings that I couldn’t quite grasp in the moment of their happening. As a practitioner-researcher, I therefore chose to explore these feelings and meanings through creative practice, while also engaging in academic research to position these encounters in discourses, both directly relevant and those that resonate with the ideas and feelings arising. I characterise this as a project that aligns with and is productively informed by multispecies studies and practices. In its mixing of encounters with wild nature through primarily digital images and sounds, the practice activates an ‘ecology of technology’
