Hér má finna allar helstu upplýsingar um Research Catalogue (RC) og hvernig hægt er að nýta vettvanginn til að halda utan um og birta rannsóknarafrakstur við Listaháskóla Íslands. RC er opinn vettvangur fyrir akademíska starfsmenn og meistaranema til að miðla afrakstri listrannsókna á greinargóðan og aðgengilegan hátt.

This exposition is associated with The paper with presentation: "Inventing a Versatile Platform for Instrument Augmenta- tion and Electroacoustic Composition" for International Computer Music Conference in Boston 2025.

This is the working document of a six-month residency with the Sound and Image Research Centre at the University of Greenwich, summer 2025, funded by the Arts Council England DYCP program. As an exposition, it records the field trip element of the project and begins to explore the role of spatial audio composition and installation in forging deeper relational connections with place. Ultimately, it asks whether the spatial audio encounter alters the subjective position of the human listener towards a more posthuman subjectivity. As the project evolves more will be added with the hope of an eventual live performance of selected compositions and a broader exposition on the role of field recording as a compositional method.

Below in English Ekspositio pyrkii vastaamaan tarpeeseen uudistavan kasvatuksen (regenerative education) tavoitteissa taiteilijapedagogisesta lähtökohdasta. Ekspositio pohjautuu paikkasidonnaiseen interventioon ja kuvailee taiteilijapedagogisen oppimisprosessin. Ekspositio tunnustelee taiteilijapedagogiikan suhdetta ekologisiin kysymyksiin kestävyysajatteluun sitoutuneen taiteilijapraktiikan ja taidepedagogian solmukohdassa. Kirjoittaja arvioi vahvan kestävyyden käsitteen avulla, millaisia ristiriitoja kestävyysajattelun ja oman praktiikan välille ilmaantuu interventioprosessin aikana, ja millaiset olosuhteet johtavat konflikteihin. Ekspositio tarkastelee aihetta ”myötäsyntyisen” metodin avulla yhdistäen taiteellista, agroekologista ja posthumanistista tutkimusta poikkitieteisesti. Päälöydöksenä on, että uudistavan kasvatuksen tavoitteet sotkeutuvat yhteiskunnan odotuksiin, päämääriin ja moraalikäsityksiin. Tämä johtaa neuvotteluun kestävyysajatteluun sitoutuneen taiteilijapraktiikan arvoissa suhteessa taiteilijapedagogiseen toimintaan. Kirjoittaja väittää, että taiteellisessa työssä ei ole erivapautta toimia ekologisesti kestämättömällä tavalla, koska taide on yhtä riippuvaista ekologisista suhteista kuin muukin elo. Hän väittää, että vahvan kestävyyden käsitteeseen sitoutumalla on mahdollista perustaa uusia arvostamisen paikkoja ja kehittää uudistavaa pedagogiikkaa. The exposition aims to meet the need for the aspiration of regenerative education from an artist pedagogical practice. The exposition is based on a place-specific intervention and outlines the artist pedagogical learning process. The exposition explores the relationship of artist pedagogy to ecological issues. Exploration happens at the intersection of artist practice committed to sustainability thinking and art pedagogy. Reflecting the concept of strong sustainability, the author assesses what kind of contradictions between sustainability thinking and one’s own practice emerge, and what kind of circumstances lead to conflicts. The exposition takes place with “innate” method, combining artistic, agroecological and posthumanist research in an interdisciplinary manner. The main finding is that the goals of regenerative education are entangled with the expectations, goals and moral concepts of society. This accompanies a negotiation of the values of artist practice committed to sustainability thinking. Negotiation takes place in relation to artist pedagogical activity. The author argues that there is no waiver to act in an ecologically unsustainable manner in art practice, because art is as dependent on ecological relationships as any other concept of life. She argues that by committing to a concept of strong sustainability, it is possible to establish new places of appreciation and develop innovative pedagogies.

Duodji refers to Sámi handicrafts and design. I reflect on the knowledge base of duodji thinking, how duodji is learned within the community, and how I have developed the teaching and research of duodji according to the principles of duodji and art. I also contemplate the essence and presentation of duodji in public spaces through the pedagogical-artistic practice, LaavuStudio."

This exposition takes as its departure the systemic inertia identified within Western Higher Music Education (HME), where education is driven by skill acquisition in a master–pupil format. Such approaches may hinder the growth of adaptable and reflective musicians. We propose an alternative: student-centred learning inspired by artistic research methods. To explicate this, we draw on findings through our own artistic research practices. Our hypothesis is that the model of the artistic, embodied research laboratory, as developed within the field of artistic research, may serve as a potent tool for renewal. By analysing our work as artist-researchers and educators, this exposition offers insights that support rethinking both institutional structures and pedagogical approaches in HME. Our aim is to strengthen student agency in learning situations and set them off on a path of lifelong learning. This research demonstrates that artistic research laboratories can provide practical frameworks for transforming HME pedagogy, offering educators concrete methods for fostering playful, inclusive, and sustainable learning environments whilst empowering students as active agents in their musical development.
