12th International Conference on Artistic Research (7 - 9 April) presents programme of projects visualizing research findings through art, music, performance under the motto 'care, dare and share'

The 12th International Conference on Artistic Research will happen this year on occasion of the pandemic from 7th to 9th April online. Host of the conference is the mdw - University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna in cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the University of Applied Arts Vienna. The programme is already published with abstracts of the projects and biographies at sar2021vienna.ac.at. Last mentioned biographies provide insights into the research fields of the artists, writers, philosophers, musicians or performers, dancers, choreographers. The knowledge about the research fields facilitates the accessibility and understanding of the projects described in the abstracts.

Societal topics in relation to the pandemic, migration or artificial intelligence are highlights of the programme. The topics are approached from various perspectives - from very personal angles to literally 'objectified' design-related (keyword: jewelry) points of view like at the 'Artificial Intelligems' project by Anneleen Swillen, described as "An artistic project exploring machine learning within contemporary jewelry practice". The findings are the basis of the artistic expression through the respective media of the presented artists, musicians, performers. At the website, a virtual 'SAR bar' (Society for Artistic Research bar) is announced. The bar is described as built from tables, some of them dedicated to a special theme, where participants can meet and exchange thoughts during the conference. Registration for participants is possible until 31 March 2021 (fast checked today).

Annotation: Registration deadline prolonged until 4 April.
