The Research Catalogue (RC) is a non-commercial, collaboration and publishing platform for artistic research provided by the
Society for Artistic Research. The RC is free to use for artists and
researchers. It
serves also as a backbone for teaching purposes, student assessment, peer review workflows and research funding administration. It strives to be
an open space for experimentation and exchange.

INTIMACY AND DIGITAL SPACE: thoughts and tryout
(2025)
Reventp
In this research, I interrogate my practice as a performance photographer and explore how the digital space can be used as a tool to reflect on the unspeakable gazes and the notion of intimacy in an age where everyone can be seen and shown.
The nature of the technologies used are as telling as we let them be but also pervasive in how they allow us to look into each other.
The Body I Post
(2025)
Omkar Yadwad
The Body I Post examines how social media, algorithmic systems, and digital surveillance reshape contemporary understandings and performances of the body. Against the backdrop of theoretical frames leading from Foucault to N. Katherine Hayles, the project at hand scrutinizes the dynamics of shifting gazes, erosion of privacy, and the emergence of the posthuman subject. The work identifies the means by which identities are extracted, categorized, and refashioned through platform infrastructures and biased datasets, by investigating case studies such as Face to Facebook, Amalia Ulman’s Excellences & Perfections, and Trevor Paglen’s ImageNet Roulette.
The research combines social experiments, visual references, and personal reflection to explore how bodies are curated for visibility, disciplined by metrics, and archived in ever-expanding digital memory systems. It questions the tension between material embodiment and its algorithmically mediated double and the ways in which humans have become simultaneously users, subjects, and raw data. The Body I Post is about what it means for us to exist as hybrids of flesh and code in an era where self-presentation has become continuous, performative, and inseparable from technological systems.

Bland bryggor och brott: Artificiell intelligens som berättarverktyg i en skärgårdsmiljö
(2025)
Alexander Skantze
“Docks and Dramas: Artificial Intelligence as a Storytelling Tool in an Archipelago Setting” is an critical exploration of my screenwriter and TV dramatist practice. Through various AI models, I try to generate an episode synopsis for The Sandhamn Murders, a series I have previously written for. Through these AI-generated texts, I seek a deeper understanding of creativity, artificial intelligence, and dramaturgical mechanisms.

Curating in Context
(2025)
Martin Sonderkamp
This Exposition contains an archived version of the project website of the EU funded Erasmus+ Project 'Curating in Context’.
Curating in Context addresses the challenges of curating contemporary art beyond curatorial approaches inherited from the visual arts. Tanzfabrik Berlin, Lokomotiva Skopje, Stockholm University of the Arts, and the University of Zagreb co-organised the two-year EU funded Erasmus+ project. It aims to enhance curatorial training focused on social impact by engaging local, regional, and international stakeholders, including cultural organisations. The project uses strategies from the performing arts to develop educational resources for universities and ongoing training for cultural workers and citizens. It fosters critical reflection on socio-political and economic contexts and promotes curatorial methods that connect performing arts with activism and social movements. The project's meetings, public events, and resources will emphasise collaborative learning between politics and art valorisation.
