I include questions I was given at the Janine Antoni workshop, Toynbee Studios, in 2010, as feedback to my work, which I presented with my artistic pseudonym, Betty Nigianni. Much of Janine Antoni's art is about the female body and cultural identity. I address the participants by the first names they used to introduce themselves at the workshop. The questions were given in writing to each participant by the rest of the group, to offer material for thinking further their artistic practice in their own time. I include the answers I would give now, if I was asked the same questions. Artists, architects and designers give interviews about their work. Amongst them, architects tend to write more and publish more written work in relation to their practice.

I like to approach my body of work as being one big opera. Every object, wearable object or costume serves the opera. Every spatial costume a backdrop, every sculpture a prop, every wearable object a costume, every costume a character. One day I will make an opera consisting of all my works. Welcome to my world, welcome to my opera

Cet article interprète l'adhésion au passé qui le conçoit comme l'idéal et la véritable manière de faire progresser, en gardant les yeux fermés sur le fait que l’évolution culturelle peut rendre ce qui était "sage" même inapproprié ou nuisible. Les études de cas présentent donc une dimension globale de l’époque autoritaire en Turquie, allant jusqu’aux idéologies cachées derrière le voile des sciences. L’idéologie autoritaire en Turquie est une question de droit et d’exception. Le fil qui relie aujourd’hui la Turquie et le monde moderne est l’idéologie capitaliste. Les habitants d’un même “village global” se réveillent et partent de chez eux vers des chemins différents où ils peuvent se retrouver avec des idéologies de négation, remplacées par des sciences confidentielles dans un monde qui croit en l’ouverture et la démocratie, qui est toujours au cœur des pratiques scientifiques.

This paper introduces the method of intuition as it is presented by French philosopher Henri Bergson in the book An Introduction to Metaphysics (Bergson 1912). Its usefulness as a tool to observe relevant information in artistic practice in sound is further discussed in relation to a series of works by the author. Exploring this complex field the author makes a preliminary conclusion that sound is not a thing, and it is not limited to what we listen to. It is a system of interrelated threads, the meaning of which is much larger than the actual sound itself.
