SAR Conference 2023 | Too Early/Too Late
The 14th SAR International Conference on Artistic Research takes place from April 19 to 22, 2023, hosted by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU, on-site in Trondheim. Artistic research projects can submit their proposals for presentations in two formats.
What kind of artistic research practices would enable us to reflect and respond effectively to the urgencies of our moment?
A moment when it becomes increasingly clear that bug-fixing and incremental improvement cannot be enough. Rather than decoration and further embellishment, our world requires substantial, systemic change more urgently than ever before.We are seeking examples and models of artistic research that, more than merely negotiating disciplinary divides, actively embrace them — as spaces of conceptual freedom, of creative agency, and of societal imagination.
What does it mean to create something new?
While everyone talks about innovation, we see a need to emancipate the concept and value of novelty towards circular or cyclic modes of creativity.
What is artistic research responsible for?
While everyone talks about impact, we seek a capacity of artistic research to participate in transition processes, through sharing methods, questioning ownership, and creating confidence.
What is the right time and form?
While everyone talks about solutions, we look for artistic research challenging both its own temporality and formats of documentation, as well as anticipating future forms of value.
