Research Through Body, Art Through Inquiry
What is artistic research and why does it matter? In this talk, Sohin Hwang will introduce the emerging practice of “artistic research” at the edge of both academia and art industry. She will identify what makes a research or an art project an artistic research project, focusing on the elements of inquiry, sense, and embodiment. The presentation will draw on cases of infiltrating and challenging the preexisting dissemination protocols, and on challenges in pedagogy.
Sohin Hwang is an artist and writer working on issues around art, technology, and society. Her recent project involves performance art and cybernetics in the mid 20th century with an attention to materiality, the producer-audience relationship, and publics formation. She is currently a College Fellow at Harvard University, having finished a doctoral degree at the University of Oxford as a Clarendon Scholar. She enjoys imaginary gardening.
