S/N267 (2025) Gloria Furlan — S.Morelli — L.Tacconelli — A.DeVito — G.Sgombra
Disclaimer: Adult Contents S/N 267 is the result of a collective search begun within the Internet Archive, an ever-evolving digital space that provides access to various types of resources, enabling the preservation and dissemination of knowledge. This Internet library archives not only digital content and snapshots of Web pages, but also images, audio, video, and software. The project investigates the diversity of representations that emerge from online searches, exploring how the individual conceives of the body through the selection and uploading of content into the digital world. Using the word “body” as the main filter for image selection, S/N 267 takes the form of a sticker album where each image tells a unique, sometimes highly personal story and reflects the richness and variety of content uploaded by users. ITA S/N267 è il risultato di una ricerca collettiva avviata all’interno di Internet Archive, uno spazio digitale in continua evoluzione che consente l’accesso a vari tipi di risorse, permettendo di preservare e diffondere la conoscenza. Questa biblioteca di Internet archivia non solo i contenuti digitali e le istantanee delle pagine web, ma anche immagini, audio, video e software. Il progetto indaga la diversità delle rappresentazioni che emergono dalle ricerche online, esplora come l’individuo concepisce il corpo attraverso la selezione e il caricamento di contenuti nel mondo digitale. Utilizzando la parola “body” come filtro principale per la selezione delle immagini, S/N 267 prende la forma di un album di figurine dove ogni immagine racconta una storia unica, a volte estremamente personale, e riflette la ricchezza e la varietà dei contenuti caricati dagli utenti. This is a students research project. No commercial use has been made. The images for this project has been sourced from the Non-profit platform Internet Archive, therfore all the rights of the images used for this project are to be given to their corrispective authors.

Collaborative Music Creation (2025) Karst de Jong
COLLABORATIVE MUSIC CREATION: leading conservatory students in musical creation processes This research is about the development of active autonomous creativity among conservatory students in classical departments. In this exposition I will discuss the nature of collaborative creation processes, and critically investigate my own role as a coach and facilitator of these processes in order to better understand how ideas are being generated, developed and ultimately shaped into a performed piece. The investigation will be illustrated with a selected number of projects I have been involved in during the years 2017-2020.

What Is This Image Doing Here? [submitted to VIS - Nordic Journal for Artistic Research - 2025-07-11 10:25] (2025) Giselle Hinterholz
This visual essay explores images generated through AI-based expansion of a simple photographic composition. Without commands or prompts, the system infers human gestures, shadows, and presences — inventing what was never there. The project questions authorship, visibility, and the power of symbolic residue when language no longer mediates creation. It is not about representation — it is about refusal, inference, and the unsettling persistence of images beyond intention.

The Gift of Listening: Improvisation, Space, and Relational Practice of Sound (2025) Wei Ting Tseng
In a world saturated with sonic and social noise, this project positions listening as a deliberate, ethical, and relational practice. Through a series of interdisciplinary performances and compositions, I investigate how improvisation and spatial acoustics can cultivate human connection, challenge perceptual norms, and activate space as a responsive collaborator. Drawing on theories from acoustic ecology, performance studies, and architecture, particularly the work of Beatriz Colomina, Paulina Oliveros, Blesser and Salter, I explore how environments shape musical communication and identity. Improvisation functions not only as a musical technique, but also as a method of social engagement and shared authorship. This research embraces openness, embodiment, and collective presence as central to how music is created, perceived, and lived.
