Silence surrounds us, silence around us – on creativity in communication
(2024)
Erika Matsunami
Silence surrounds us, silence around us – on creativity in communication, which interacts with and addresses the theoretical and practical exploring of the artistic research for Green x (2022 –). Simultaneously, it might be possible to create an artistic method of intervention artistically, which aims at the theoretical level evolutionally.
Is language the tool? If it is yes, what kind of tool is the language? Through the language, what can we produce and provide? Thereby, I address the topic of creativity in communication in reading silently, speech, and listening. On creativity in communication is a play to draw models. Thereby the leitmotif is "reading".
Critical seeing in a model on reading subjectivity and objectivity at the online artistic representational level, Question for on creativity
The research objective(s) is a future idea for physical space and its mobility within virtual space (potentiality) for a new type of idea for notation between tradition and modernity.
In this aspect, towards international communication gaps between tradition and modernity, DADA solved the issue of communication and explored a new way of communication, that was not a philosophical metaphor, but rather that consisted of semiotics and semantics in the context of design, was creative. – New visual and auditory codes. Thereby I deal with “Tractatus logico-philosophicus”, that is a logic of nonsense by Wittgenstein in the theme of space, body and time.
"Silence surrounds us, silence around us" is an artistic research series, after "N.N-Zwischenliegend", I have been started to explore in 2020, after the corona-pandemic.

Sketchbook of 53 A3 drawings with coloured markers, including 4 A3 collages with newspaper cutouts and printed photos. Sketchbook cover with red nail polish.
22 A4 drawings with ballpoint pen.
Preparatory work, 2023-2024.
I adopted the visual vocabulary of the graphic novel, which I partly studied and read a lot about looking at different graphic artists' work, when I was attending classes at the University of Malmo, Sweden, in 2012. I mixed this with stylistic elements of the architectural sketch, using heavily the black marker and stick figures. This visual approach gives a slightly comical note to the otherwise dark subject matter.
"Pop and Politics" (Pop Og Politikk)
Where does the boundary run between art and popular culture? Pop art embraces the iconography of mass culture. Themes are taken from advertising comics, cinema and TV. The slick, impersonal style is a deliberate provocation.
In Norway, pop art is part of a broader left-wing protest movement. Everything from capitalism and imperialism to environmental and gender politics is subjected to critical scrutiny. The exclusive, unique artwork is replaced by mass-produced prints and posters, well suited to spreading a political message."

EXPLORING THE ARTISTIC LEGACY OF WILLIAM GILLOCK: JAZZ EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PRACTICES IN THE MODERN ERA
(2024)
Angelina Tarlovskaia
This paper explores the artistic legacy of William Gillock through a practice-based lens, focusing on his influence on jazz education and contemporary musical practices. As a composer and educator, Gillock’s work has been instrumental in shaping modern jazz pedagogy.
The study reflects on my own pedagogical practice and its relationship to Gillock’s methods, examining how his compositional techniques and teaching strategies continue to inform my approach to jazz instruction. By engaging with Gillock’s work in practical contexts, I highlight how his contributions foster the development of technical proficiency and expressive artistry among students. This reflection underscores the enduring relevance of Gillock's innovations, as they continue to inspire and shape the growth of the jazz community today, ensuring that his legacy remains central to the evolution of jazz education and performance.
Noise Pollution and Sound Beyond “Sound”
(2024)
SHLUK
The Artistic Research project SHLUK focuses on the topics of noise pollution and sound beyond sound. For this purpose, it questions the (mis)conceptions behind the ideas of audible spectrum and “unwanted sound”. The group aims to put forward a proposal for political involvement with the environment, namely through the practice of field recordings. In this case, the collection of sounds in a specific neighborhood in Prague (Barrandov) carries the bond to discuss these practices. Moreover, the group proposes the idea of “deep recording“ as a device for a necessary acoustic revolution towards a less anthropocentric understanding of ecology.

"(...) a cidade (...) consiste somente de um lado de fora e de um avesso, como uma folha de papel, com uma figura aqui e outra ali, que não podem se separar nem se encarar", um lugar onde as partes, os contrastes e o movimento participam numa dança infindável. E é a busca pela compreensão da linha ténue entre o sim e o não, o claro e o escuro, o tudo e o nada, que dá nome ao nosso trabalho, Oppositions.
“(…) the city (…) consists only of an outside and a reverse, like a sheet of paper, with a figure here and there, which cannot be separated nor face each other.”, a place where the parts, contrasts and movement participate in an endless dance. And it is the search for understanding the fine line between yes and no, light and dark, everything and nothing, that gives name to our work, Oppositions.
