abstract new 03


15:00-18:00

Watch Video inputs about PhD-projects, do readings, start reflection about methods
— Please watch the video essay. Due to the pandemic which lead us to this virtual format of the workshop, this year we decided to present our research and methodology as video essays instead of discussing it during our video meeting.
This video-essay attempt to unfold the methodology and experiments of my research “cosmopolitics of the body

 

In addition please take a look at the slides from last year’s AR seminar at ZHDK. They are based on the publication Transposition: edited by Michael Schwab. Three essays have been selected and discussed during the workshop. I found these three different views fundamentally challenging and refreshing at the same time. However each of these essays, one way or another, proposes: Transposition as a method in artistic research.
