Playing against the camera
(2020)
author(s): Erik Friis Reitan
published in: VIS - Nordic Journal for Artistic Research
In this essay I describe two projects within the field of visual art. Both works are examples of how the workflow techniques of digital photography can be modified in order to produce artworks that take on a distinct physicality and objecthood, and, as such, may form a spatial and/or haptic relation with the viewer. I discuss how such an approach relates to the ability of photography to point beyond the physical situation of viewing due to the particular virtuality of the photograph. By relating my work to the ideas of Vilém Flusser and Roland Barthes, recent theory on photography and photographic indexicality, as well as contemporary artistic work, I speculate here on how my own work illuminates perceptions of the photograph and understandings of the role of photography in today’s media culture and economy.
Sculptural sounds: a co-compositional approach
(2020)
author(s): Eleni-Ira Panourgia
published in: RUUKKU - Studies in Artistic Research
This article discusses a specific approach to sound from a sculptural perspective, based on an innovative process named "co-composition", in which physical and sonic material can be concurrently produced, rearranged and transformed in a solo environment. This approach investigates ways of working with the direct response of materials to performed actions by mapping actions of making in ways that can inform new actions through sound. I question the way sculptural sounds are caused and how sounds and their real-time transformation could influence the way I understand the process as a practitioner and researcher, and how this is experienced by the audience. How does the process change once sound is transformed to something different, new? How does this affect practising with sound as more than sound? To achieve this, I develop new ways of articulating aesthetic decisions from one medium to the other on the basis of their "stories" as they are manifested through traces of material manipulation.
The Risk of Breaking
(2019)
author(s): Joanna Sperryn-Jones
published in: VIS - Nordic Journal for Artistic Research
My sculptural installations 'risk' 2011 and 'Celebration' 2015 were developed after I broke several bones mountain biking and wasn’t able to work in my studio for a year. When I returned to making sculpture I found I could only relate to previous artwork by breaking it. I explore how and why my aesthetic preferences changed after experiencing injury, in particular the new element of risk. I reflect on contrasting experiences of mountain biking and being injured, the tension between the support and restriction of being in plaster and my alienation to my broken arm. Through this I question what motivates people to take risks, how our judgement of risk can change in different circumstances, and if the motivation for men and women taking risks is different. I reflect on the risk to the artwork and to the viewer and different forms of risk in artwork. Finally I recount how this informs the making of 'risk' 2011 and 'Celebration' 2015.
On Electronic Sound Sculptures: Circuits and Aesthetics
(2017)
author(s): Eirik Brandal
published in: KC Research Portal
This paper is first and foremost concerned with my methods for designing, constructing and composing with freeform electronic sound sculptures. It covers the topics of circuit modularity, network communication, interaction and sonification as a means to create nonlinear music, as well as architectural concepts that are either being utilized or that have been functioning as sources of inspiration toward the design of the sound sculptures. The reader will be guided largely through the perspective of my own work, but general ideas and concepts from similar artists will be discussed where applicable.
De l'inaction à l'action

Mon projet de recherche-création consiste à explorer le mouvement en sculpture et en installation. Mes réflexions portent sur la motivation du passage de l'inaction à l'action; le moment déclencheur dans un processus décisionnel. Ce désir de changement d’un état à un autre se traduit par l’ordre et le désordre en accordant une sensibilité particulière à la matière.
Mythes, visions, hallucinations et récits intimes contemporains explorés par le biais de la sculpture et de l’empreinte

Il s’agit d’un récit autobiographique sur ma condition. Ayant un trouble psychotique, je raconte comment mes hallucinations sont évitées par la sublimation. Mes œuvres sont inspirées des liens de confiance que je tisse avec les personnes que je côtoie.

The coconut palm grows a special fiber to wrap the nuts until they're ripe. After each growing cycle is over, the palm drops the fibers on the ground.
While staying in Kenya for some months in 2017 I made a research on this fiber and then crafted some hanging sculptures that express what those fibers seemed to be telling me.
