Silence surrounds us, silence around us – on creativity in communication
(2025)
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.

Painting as satire
(2025)
John Hogan
Satire is conceptualised as culturally charge, holding potentially powerful effects and impact. satire as painting provokes critical reflection on authorities, tackles values, dogmas, and taboos, disturbs power relations, and plays with cultural forms and identities. Bad news is seemingly everywhere, the is the place were satire exists. my practice utilises the codes of satire: analogy, parody, subversion, and irony, and realised through graphic elements; signs symbols, and icons, to apportion strength of meaning in my work through the lens of critique and entertainment.

Om prosjektet Jording med (blå)leire
(2025)
Sigrid Espelien
I doktorgradsprosjektet Jording med (blå)leire har jeg jobba med kunstneriske prosesser og øvelser som knytter oss tettere på blåleira i landskapet. Gjennom seks års utdannelse innenfor det keramiske kunstfeltet og kunsthåndverk2 ble vi aldri introdusert for leire ute i naturen som en del av undervisningen. Vi lærte å lage forskjellige leirer ved hjelp av råstoffer som kaolin, kvarts, pipeleire og chamotte fra innkjøpt pulver i sekker blandet med vann, men var aldri ute og gravde leire og prosesserte denne selv. Vi jobbet med importerte leirer der sintringsintervall, grovhetsgrad, farge etter brenning og krymp-prosent var printet på plastpakningen. Leirene var homogene og klare til å modellere med, og man kunne stole på at den alltid var lik fra pakke til pakke. Keramikk- og kunstfeltets gjengse oppfattelse av leire som et stabilt universelt materiale, som er relativt lik uansett hvor man kjøper den fra, blir i dette prosjektet satt i kontrast til det spesifikke og skiftende i landskapet, leira og menneskene involvert. Denne situerte kunnskapsproduksjonen i det kunstneriske doktorgradsprosjektet er et av de potensielle bidragene til fagfeltet.
