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.

Recomposing Data: Machine Learning as Compositional Process
(2025)
Bjarni Gunnarsson
This exposition reflects on how machine learning can be integrated with algorithmic composition and live coding to expand digital music creation. The research examines how ML-driven sound analysis, training data, and interactive models reshape compositional workflows. By viewing machine learning as an interpretative and generative process rather than a mere tool, this project challenges conventional boundaries between data gathering, system design, and artistic practice. The discussion is framed through experimental approaches that merge sound synthesis, live coding, and model training, questioning how algorithmic systems can act as both agents of composition and reflective mirrors of musical intention. Through the interplay of structured data, generative models, and exploratory workflows, the study situates machine learning within a broader conversation about creativity, computation, and the evolving role of the composer-programmer.
{kA} : Oblivious to Gravity
(2025)
Gerriet K. Sharma
Building-Sound Compositions in (half-)public places:
Starting from Graz, six vacant buildings in different European cities were researched as aural architectures and understood and experienced as an integral part of building-sound compositions. Techniques and strategies were developed how sound art can react systematically to site-specific architectual conditions or how these environmental acoustic characteristics can become part of a previously non-existent composition.

Den norske blåleira
(2025)
Sigrid Espelien
Denne plastposen fra Hana & Holmens potterier med bittelitt blåleire i, fikk jeg av keramikeren Marit Tingleff1 under et besøk hos henne på Hønefoss høsten 2022. Hana & Holmens Potterier var basert i Sandnes der de hadde pottemakeri, men også utvant, prosesserte og solgte blåleire til skoler og keramikere fra før andre verdenskrig til 2012.
Sosial keramikk
(2025)
Sigrid Espelien
Sosial keramikk er kopper, beholdere og tallerkener som er laget av blåleire og brunleire fra leirelandskaper jeg har jobbet i som en del av prosjektet Jording med (blå)leire.
