A Resonance of Many Voices. Polyphonic Practice-Sharing of Artistic Research
What does the resonance of voice bring to the theory, practice, and dissemination of artistic research? This presentation by the node Voice/s, part of the SIG Language Art, explores practices and resources concerning voice and voicing in artistic research. As a heterogeneous group of artist-researchers, we will share and explore the resonances voices and voicings create with, alongside and for artistic research.
Thinking artistic research from the encounter of sensory information within a body, its surroundings, and the conditions in which it occurs, the voicing of art and research has become a crucial point of reference and a daily practice for many of us. Among the perspectives we are focussing on are the following questions: What does it mean to give a voice to artistic research? How do multiple voices, languages and perspectives translate into a resonance of meanings? What does voice do in remembrance? Could remembrance translate as a resonance? How can addressing (repressed) memories promote their processing and initiate a fruitful intergenerational dialogue? How does the shift from voicing to listening add to our understanding of voice? What happens in between voicing and listening? What spaces open up?
The resonance of this contribution speaks of agency, silence, voice, and space. After an introduction to the diverse practices around voice and voicing within our SIG’s node, the contribution will include a short workshop format and conclude with a dialogue with the audience.
