Call for Conference Papers: Traversing Topologies: Imagining worlds and knowledge with/through artistic research (Lucerne / Swiss Artistic Research Network, Sep 23–25, 2021)
Deadline: Mar 31, 2021
Topology is to an equal extent an over- and under-determined topos. It exists nearly independently in various individual disciplines, refers foremost descriptively to the arrangement of things in space-time, takes the surface as its point of departure and seems to be an optimal location for carrying out seemingly objective measurements, rather than being perceived as a formable matrix.
The conference highlights the potential to develop thinking and acting in complex topological-relational networks. It seeks proposals, statements, perspectives and speculations for the intersection of existing knowledge spaces. Superficial cartographies of order are to be unsettled and re-mapped, subjectivized toward the layers that underlie them.
Please send your suggestions in an abstract of no more than 400 words and a short note on your background (which might be in the arts, the cultural sector in general, the sciences or include transdisciplinary cooperations) to: sarntoconference2021@sarn.ch.
