Submissions of Hugarflug's posts 2024, LHÍ's research conference, have been opened. The open call this year is as follows:
Artistic research: the sensory knowledge.
The researchers are increasingly focusing their attention on artists and how they approach their subjectsThe insight and the creative thinking that artistic creation requires has proven to be an effective addition to the standard methods of physical science Artists are curious individuals who apply critical and interdisciplinary thinking to solutions to complex problems Often, that skill has evolved from an early age Artistic research therefore has value far beyond the obvious aesthetic elements.
Despite this, there seems to be a lack of understanding and dialogue with the research environment The purpose of Hugarflugi 2024 is to find out what lies behind it. Is there a lack of common language? Are artists' research methods too different from the traditional ways to be taken seriously? Could the results of art research be communicated in a different way than is done, or is quality at times simply lacking?
We open the discussion with the aim of answering the above questions. The Iceland University of the Arts is calling here for proposals of any kind, presentations of research that are ongoing or have been carried out by our staff, students and/or partners. In this way, we hope to produce a “ screen shot of our research culture that can be discussed between us, but no less with representatives of today's broad research environment. The clear visitor's eye is, as it is a valuable contribution to the development of research within the Iceland University of the Arts for the future.
Submissions are open until May 21st. but the conference will take place in the premises of LHÍ on September 13th.
