Pilot Project: Intra-View by Adelheid Mers

Experimentally developing a new hybrid of interview and artist conversation, the Intra-view, this project mobilizes core research and knowledge production repertoires across specializations. Interviews and artist conversations are central tools in science and in art. They trade in politics of truth, technologies of self, and acquisition and appropriation. Interview und Künstler-Gespräch sind wesentliche tools sowohl im Rahmen wissenschaftlicher als auch künstlerischer Herangehensweisen. Sie operieren mit Politiken der Wahrheit, Selbsttechniken und jenen der Aneignung. Im künstlerisch-wissenschaftlichen Experiment mit einer zu entwickelnden Neuformung aus Interview und Künstlergespräch, dem Intra-View, stellen wir einen zentralen Bestandteil des Forschungsrepertoires zur Erkenntnisproduktion in den Fokus.

2. Intra-View:

By holistically entering into the research process through the concept of Intra-activity, Karen Barad dissolves the dichotomy of researcher and subject of research, be the subject material or animated. “Agency is the enactment of iterative changes to particular practices through the dynamics of intra-activity. Agency is about the possibilities and accountability entailed in reconfiguring material-discursive apparatuses of bodily production." (Barad 2003)

From Barad's intra-action in the laboratory we draw the concept of intra-viewing in the design studio. Not working about, but working through-one-another is what we hope to mobilize for artistic and scientific research.
