Breathing into the Ecological Trauma: The Case of Gruinard Island
(2020)
author(s): Christoph Solstreif-Pirker
published in: Journal for Artistic Research
With the performative investigation of Gruinard Island, Scotland, an exemplary non-site of anthropocenic extinction, this research exposition aims for alternative ways of encountering space in the midst of the present ecological crisis. The research exposition suggests an inclusive way of breathing, thinking, and living that merges “with experience, art, ethics, technology, mysticism, science, etc.” (François Laruelle: Principles of Non-Philosophy).
Facing our own imminent extinction, ecological thought can no longer fall back on ideologies toward-death but has to investigate how the immediacy of our planetary all can be encountered in the fullness of its ambivalence. With this affirmative approach, a feminine, birthing approach unfolds, that makes the otherness of the environment an ally for forging practices of vibrant becoming, political responsibility, and mutual trust.
Schizoproduction: Artistic Research and Performance in the Context of Immanent Capitalism
(2015)
author(s): Tero Nauha
published in: Research Catalogue
In the written part of my doctoral dissertation I am presenting the artistic works and set them in a larger context, which I have entitled immanent capitalism. This is an artistic research, where the art works, their processes or workshops produce knowledge, which will not be fully translatable to a written form. The artworks are performances, live-art projects and works on video. In the presentation of the context I am presenting the transformation that has taken place starting from the industrialism and modernism, and which have recently been incorporated with new forms of labour and economy.

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Artistic research shares with François Laruelle's 'non-philosophy' and the emerging field of 'performance philosophy' a condition of internal conflict: On one side, artistic research breaks out of acceptable knowledge, on the other it seeks to make its outcomes accepted as knowledge; on one side, it appropriates artistic modes of inquiry and presentation for research, on the other research already pervades the very artistic practice that produced them; on one side, artistic research resists institutionalism, on the other it needs to develop and maintain research networks in and across institutions.
During the Study Day, prof. Laura Cull and prof. John Ó Maoilearca (John Mullarkey), two leading scholars in performance philosophy and non-philosophy, will share with artist-researchers of the Orpheus Institute their latest research and discuss with them problems and commonalities between these three fields of knowledge.
