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.
Last day to submit proposals for program items is 15 May
We welcome proposals for presentations, panels, exhibitions or performances that can take the artistic knowledge development further.
Presentation formats
The symposium will allow for five different types of presentations:
- Lecture: 15 minute oral presentation of ongoing or completed research.
- Conversation: Presentation and discussion of research in an interactive session with other researchers with a similar focus.
- Show-and-Tell: Presentation based on some kind of artefact describing your research process.
- Posters: Presentation of ongoing or completed research in the form of a poster (or similar).
- Other: If you have another proposal for a presentation format, please submit an abstract describing what you want to do.
The abstracts should contain approximately 500 words or equivalent depending on the format. A detailed call for submissions is announced on Umeå Univesity webbsite.
