Artistic Research and Collective Intelligence Workshop

Exposition supporting the Artistic Research and Collective Intelligence workshop, 4-5 October 2025, Porto Academy of Fine Arts. Theme: In recent years, latent space has become a recurring notion in the field of AI and generative art, but the term has a much broader origin and resonance, finding relevance in various fields of knowledge such as psychology, biology and computer science. Translated into the field of artistic research, latent space can refer to indefinable and potential configurations, to a fluid and interstitial zone in which knowledge and imagination take shape through non-linear processes and intuitions. The workshop will offer a space for discussion and experimentation, welcoming proposals and reflections on the processes of artistic research, to investigate unforeseen configurations, lateral paths, and methodological deviations. The activity is promoted by the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome as part of the Enacting Artistic Research project.

In this project we use drawing to investigate imigrant mothers who lives in Portugal. The marjoritie of those women are from old portuguese colonies, as Cape Verde and Brazil, thus they share an ambiguous sentiment of belonging to the region where they live today. During the process of investigation the drawing is conceived as a vulnerable method of research, where the frontiers of subjective and objetive are surpassed in its process.
