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.

Rogues
(2025)
Hanns Holger Rutz, Nayari Castillo-Rutz
A work-in-progress artistic research project. Initiated by Hanns Holger Rutz and Nayarí Castillo in autumn 2021, it develops into multiple intermedia objects that involve collaboration between different artists, objects that engage in sensorial exchange among themselves and with humans. This exposition is very much in flux, trying to capture the meanderings of the process.
RC Visual Map / Screenshot of the RC
(2025)
Casper Schipper
A visual map of the RC. Hover over a screenshot to see the title and author. If you click you will see a gallery with a screenshot of each of its weaves. There is a form which allows you to filter based on title, author, keywords, abstract and date.
For an exposition to appear in this map, it needs to be public (share -> public or published). The map is updated once every 24 hours.
There is an alternative map that allows you to browse all research by keyword.
GOON
(2025)
Pierre Piton
GOON
In 2023, at the age of 28, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. This life-altering event led me to take a closer look at my sexual desire, question my relationship with my genitals, and rethink how I perceive my gender identity. Today, as I navigate a healing period, I seek to explore sensuality as a space of resistance and emancipation. GOON is an attempt to free myself from the shame surrounding (my) queer sexualities.
GOON is a research performance inviting the audience to look up close at the way they see and seek pleasure. With a choreographic approach, I am researching queer eroticism as a place of joy. Ignoring the constraints of sexual norms, this exploration focuses on shaping a body that is both playful and desired, despite its apparent dirtiness.

A Note on Early Quantum Mechanics
(2025)
Tolga Theo Yalur
Intellectual landscape in mathematics, quantum mechanics and physics, philosophy of science, and other fields. Henri Poincaré's mathematical insights and Albert Einstein's seminal thought experiments opened the door to understanding the most fundamental aspects of physical reality, from the subatomic realm of particles and fields to the largest galactic superclusters and the origin of the universe itself. The pioneering work of Poincaré and Einstein in the early 20th century fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe, calling into question long-held ideas about space, time, and the very core of reality. Epicurus’ groundbreaking reflection in these fields influence the fields of applied mathematics today, profoundly shaping the scientific understanding of the solid forms that make up the universe.
Epicurus’ Quantum Philosophy
(2025)
Tolga Theo Yalur
Quantum methods, based on differential equations, proved invaluable for many applications, ranging from building complex machines to mapping the motions of celestial objects. They represent a decisive advance in humanity's ability to understand and quantify the multi-dimensional reality. Epicurus’ groundbreaking reflection in these fields influence the fields of applied mathematics today, profoundly shaping the scientific understanding of the solid forms that make up the universe.
