VIS (Nordic Journal of Artistic Research)

Theme: Touch

To touch, å berøre, at berøre, att beröra, å røre ved, koskettaa, að snerta, at nema, attuinneq, guoskat, guosskat, gaajesjidh, kuoskađ, kuõskkâd, koskea, באַרירן, te čalav, move, bridge distance, merge, skim, alter, stroke, collide, bind, make contact, transmit, shift, flow, compel, absorb, repeat, affect, fertilise, respond, fuse, grow together, examine, model, connect, seek, relate, dissolve, symbiotic mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, reciprocal exchange.

Within the explosive power of touch, micro- and macro-perspectives are seamlessly connected across different scales. In a contemporary world that actively employs isolation and segmentation, exploring the power of touch in relation to artistic practice and expression is increasingly relevant.

We seek artistic research that places artistic practice at the heart of the enquiry. Here, artistic investigations and the relationship between art and the surrounding world form the starting point for reflective work.
