4. Implementation
- Briefly describe the project participants, including external collaborators and their roles in the project. Focus on how their relevant competence and roles will contribute to achieving the project objectives using an interdisciplinary approach.
- Building on the description of the approach in section 2, use tables or graphics to show the structure and organization of the project: Outline the work packages, activities and milestones, show how they interact and give a timeline. Show the allocation of human resources and the responsibilities and contributions of the participants to the different work packages and activities.
- If relevant, describe how necessary permissions, approvals and registrations will be handled.
2. Research questions, hypotheses, methodology and approach
- Give a detailed description of the research questions and hypotheses.
- Describe thoroughly and clearly a novel theoretical/methodological approach to address the project objectives and research questions. How will you carry out the project in an interdisciplinary way?
- Describe briefly how the project brings further/contributes the plans of the participating research group (s)? How does the project fit into the future plans for development in the group(s)?
- Structure the work into work packages and activities for the two positions.
- Address the possible risks that might endanger achievements of project objectives and how to manage these risks.
- If relevant, address ethical issues and potential undesirable effects that may arise from the project and how these can be avoided or dealt with.
- If relevant, describe how stakeholders/users will be involved in the project.
Through interdisciplinary research, NTNU Community aims to contribute to a viable democracy that safeguards the common good, strengthens trust and cohesion across different groups, and reduces exclusion and polarization
Social challenges are complex and require an interdisciplinary perspective both to understand the mechanisms and processes at work and to contribute to solutions.
Institutional communities are, for example, political and legal systems.
Place-based communities can be city districts or local communities.
Cultural communities can be communities around certain art and cultural expressions, or linguistic communities.
Technologically mediated communities are, for example, digital networks, or algorithms and artificial intelligence.
1. State of the art, knowledge needs, objectives and relevance to the call
- Describe status of the current research field, the challenges and the knowledge needs that justify the initiation of the project.
- Give the primary and secondary objectives that reflect the novelty and ambitions of the project.
- Describe how the proposal is relevant for the science area of NTNU Community and how it contributes to one or more of the focus areas.
3. Potential impact
- Describe how the project outcomes will help to address scientific challenges and develop the research field.
- Describe how the project outcomes will help to address societal challenges and contribute to sustainability.
- Describe how the project outcomes will be exploited to maximize impact of the research.

> where we are coming from >> describe the relation between the field of sociocultural anthropology / political science and fine art, the question of methodology/artistic research >> the limitation of both fields >> artists acting like anthropolgists/ethnographers, the role of the observer, facilitator >> in filmmaking for example >> discours around participation/relational aesthetics and representation / community art (mention artistic practice of Owen Griffith as state of the art example? / & Genalguacil, The Lab / Tynset > residency & doing things with print / )
>> KiT as community / shift of strategy > from individual studio practice to acting together > also as skill / AE / doing things collectively (not as collective) & organising otherwise >>> how we reflect on what makes a community?
difference/ambition: knowledge is produced through acting collectively (filmmaking, food, building AE frameworks/cooperations/new ways or working as an artist, rurals) and not through extracting knowledge by studying a community and turn it into a scientific paper
A community which is abstract / the participation of the singularities of labour in a single whole, which is, precisely, abstract.
Art has always anticipated the determination of valorization. So it became abstract by traversing a real development, by creating a new world through abstraction. To be an ontological experience art has no need of a concrete being. Vith the invention of the abstract, nature and the world have been entirely replaced by art. The modern is this abstraction,this participation of the labour of each singularity and its interchangeability. A community which is abstract. (Negri, Letter to Gianmarco on the Abstract, 1988, in: Letters on Art)
Doing things collectively versus being a collective / Artists at Work
Artists as people, changing the context they are living, working in, contributing to, as part of whatever community, not in relation to society, not in the sense that here is society and there are artists who are then trying to solve societal challenges
a flock of artists as part of other flocks and not as one artist (strange attractor) who gets a special role to play >> think of the mille feuilles strategy / pâte feuilleté / croissant image > thinly layered artistic processes everywhere – creatvity as a distributed capability
