Hurricanes and Scaffoldings - Symposium on Artistic Research 2024
This year's Symposium on Artistic Research explores the dynamic interplay between more-than-human forces and culturally resilient structures. Drawing inspiration from Nora N. Khan's contrasting concepts of "hurricanes and scaffoldings" as developed in her essay "Towards a Poetics of Artificial Super Intelligence", we invite researchers in the field of art to identify the frameworks, practices, perspectives and themes that art can bring to the broader discourses of society, environment, technology and politics.
The symposium is organised in close collaboration with UmArts, Umeå University, and offers a platform for participation and engagement where different kinds of contributions together may enrich a critical and creative dialogue on artistic research.
