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.

Le dessein intelligent est le mot à la mode des créationnistes des années 2000 qui concerne l’interprétation idéologique de la machine et des données. Ici, la question est celle des ressemblances religieuses prescrites, pour lesquelles le débat sur le dessein intelligent emprunte aux données non corporelles pour projeter des incorporations fictives à l’information, en présumant des mentales de similitude, sinon d’exactitude, qui pourraient donner lieu à une création religieuse prescrite.

Cet article s’appuie sur une approche psychanalytique et culturelle des idéologies et de l’économie-politique dans les constructions de vérité et les récits autour des lieux et des événements concernant les identités ethniques, religieuses et nationales, et propose une opinion interdisciplinaire sur les récits de vérité des psycho-réalités culturelles formées autour des parcs, des lieux monumentaux et des génocides en Turquie. Cette opinion porte sur le complexe, le concours du profane et du sacré, pour lequel l’article présente une interprétation détaillée du matériel/mondain et du religieux/au-delà. Les symptômes dans les lieux monumentaux en Turquie, parc culturel à Izmir et Parc Gezi et Sainte-Sophie à Istanbul, révèlent les mythes inhabituels encodés dans ces lieux, génocides, complexes et leurs liens avec les textes culturels d’aujourd’hui. Le réseau de la réalité informe les symptômes conscients et inconscients autour des parcs, des musées, des places ou des lieux monumentaux en Turquie et au-delà.

This research project explores how theatre can contribute to democratic engagement. The starting point was artistic probes investigating aspects of democracy: participation, deliberation and inclusion. The probes resulted in three productions presented at theatre institutions in Sweden. In Skapa Demokrati (Creating Democracy), participation was promoted by encouraging the audience members to create a democracy together. The performance thus allowed participants to experience a democratic process by actively engaging in the making of a constitution. In Öva Demokrati (Practicing Democracy), deliberation was in focus. The performance allowed the audience to deliberate on suggestions for strengthening Swedish democracy. Through methods inspired by political science, the audience was invited to speak and listen to arguments for the different proposals. In the performance, they were also presented with a variety of ways of voting to illustrate how different electoral systems can encourage engagement and give minorities a chance to be heard. In Monument, different strategies were used to promote inclusion. The project started with the idea that monuments say something about society. The monuments were used as vehicles to include voices from the residents of Helsingborg. The artwork presented these different experiences through a multi-perspective script. Other outreach activities also helped enable inclusion. Narrative analysis for theatre was used to reflect on these probes, allowing for a deeper understanding of how performances were conceptualised and structured, and how they made meaning for the audience. Lastly, the performance Ibsendekonstruktion II: Brand was written and staged to reflect on how the research has changed the artistic practice. The research has resulted in strategies for inclusion and a novel theatre format, the conversational theatre, which encourages participation and deliberation. These outcomes provide the theatre with methods to be in dialogue with society.
