Dorsal Practices - Murky Back Thinking (2024) Emma Cocker, Katrina Brown
In progress Dorsal Practices — Murky Back Thinking is a collaboration between choreographer Katrina Brown and writer-artist Emma Cocker, for exploring the notion of dorsality in relation to how we as moving bodies orientate to self, others, world. How does cultivation of a back-oriented awareness and attitude shape and inform our experience of being-in-the-world? The dorsal orientation foregrounds active letting go, releasing, even de-privileging, of predominant social habits of uprightness and frontality — the head-oriented, sight-oriented, forward-facing, future-leaning tendencies of a culture intent on grasping a sense of the world through naming and control. Rather than a mode of withdrawal, of turning one’s back, how might a backwards-leaning orientation support an open and receptive ethics of relation? How are experiences of listening, voicing, thinking, shaped differently through this tilt of awareness and attention towards the back?

Embodied Landscapes: process and participation in filmmaking (2024) Rachael Jones
This page is a diagrammatic visualisation of my doctoral thesis. Originally presented as a digital PDF and at just under 50,000 words, it was important that it comprised all the collages, photographs, diagrams and films (as hyperlinks) that made it practice-based artistic research. This space allows the work and ideas to be experienced less sequentially and more relationally, befitting a nonlinear research practice assemblage.

Creature in the making (2024) Elena Cirkovic
Elena Cirkovic is conducting a transdisciplinary research project at Aarhus University, the University of Lapland, the University of Helsinki, and the BioArt Society Finland on the complex interactions between Earth and outer space systems, as well as the limitations in communicating with the unknown and unpredictable. The associated artwork is aiming for simplicity, placemaking, and "non-disruptive" BioArt (to the extent possible).

Artistic Connectivity Unfolding (2024) Falk Hubner, walmeri ribeiro, Elisavet Kalpaxi, Marike Hoekstra, Eleni Kolliopoulou, Jessica Renfro, Isil Egrikavuk, Reyhaneh Mirjahani, Katy Beinart, Lizzie Lloyd, Chrystalleni Loizidou, Xenia Tsompanidou, Juriaan Achthoven
This publication presents the outcomes of the Connective Symposium, which took place at Fontys Academy of the Arts in Tilburg, in November 2022. The symposium was the first time that the professorship and research group Artistic Connective Practices, initiated in 2021, opened its work to the international field: We invited practitioners from all over the world to share their work and exchange about the concept of "artistic connectivity". "Artistic Connectivity Unfolding" is an attempt to share the experiences during the symposium with the broader artistic research audience, and to contribute to the body of artistic research work that is socially engaged. The exposition is potentially many things: In part, it is a piece of documentation of the symposium, in part reflections on and proceedings of it. It is also an explorative contribution to our emerging and unfolding discourse of artistic connectivity, — unfinished, fluid and moving — and thus a springboard for our future work on artistic connectivity.
