[Commlist] ARMIC - sessions at UPF / Barcelona

  2-04/03/22: ARMIC: ARTISTIC RESEARCH FOR THE MOVING IMAGES TO COME 2022

Pompeu Fabra University has initiated the possibility of pursuing 
doctoral studies in Communication from the perspective of applied 
practical research. This new possibility in the academic field allows a 
wide use of applied methodologies to achieve and speculate new forms of 
knowledge that break with the prevailing written format. It also favors 
and broadens relationships, transfers and reflects critically about 
knowledge in the processes of doctoral research in connection with other 
institutions, professional fields or cultural and artistic industries.

 From this new innovative possibility, we consider it necessary to 
create a space that can allow debate, dialogue, reflection and critical 
thinking about the meaning of artistic research. New starting points 
from which to exchange and expand the vision and concepts that address 
this format or method of research so little traveled in our country from 
the field of the moving image and film.

Artistic research as an independent form of research through the arts is 
generating its own languages, using its own tools, following its own 
criteria with many exciting experiences in foreign universities. With 
these sessions organized at UPF we seek to put academics and artists or 
filmmakers in dialogue to learn about these modes of research and its 
many possibilities. The sessions are aimed at students, researchers, 
PhDs, artists and filmmakers interested in artistic research in the 
media and film studies field.

Statistics and the Privatization of University research”.

*JYOTI MISTRY*

Artist, filmmaker, PhD in Cinema Studies at New York University and 
professor in FILM at the University of Gothenburg. Her film practice 
includes film as a research mode and her interest includes artistic 
research in film pedagogy. She has made critically acclaimed films in 
multiple genres and her installation work draws from cinematic 
traditions but is often re-contextualized for galleries and museums that 
are outside of the linear cinematic experience. Her current research 
focus is on decolonial practices with archives and indigeneity.


*MIEKE BERNINK*

Professor and head of the Research Group (Lectoraat) ‘Research in and 
through Cinema Practices’ at the Netherlands Film Academy of the 
Amsterdam University of the Arts. Having studied philosophy and 
psychology before bidding farewell to the academic world to pursue a 
career in journalism - as chief editor of a film journal (Skrien) - and 
policy making - as Secretary of Film and Media Education at the 
Netherlands Council for Culture, she was approached in 2008 to design a 
Master’s Degree Programme in Film. She was the head of this programme, 
‘Artistic Research in and through Cinema’, until September 2021.


*KAREL DOING*

Independent artist, filmmaker and researcher whose practice investigates 
the relationship between culture and nature by means of analogue and 
organic process, experiment and co-creation. He studied Fine Arts at the 
Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, in Arnhem, the Netherlands, graduating in 
1990. In the same year he co-founded Studio één, a DIY film laboratory. 
 From 2001 until 2012 he was board member of Filmbank, a foundation 
dedicated to the promotion and distribution of experimental film and 
video in the Netherlands (now part of EYE Filmmuseum). In 2017, he 
received a PhD from the University of the Arts London. During his 
research he developed ‘phytography’ a technique that combines plants and 
photochemical emulsion. He has employed this technique to investigate 
how culture and meaning can be shared between the human and the vegetal 
realm. In his thesis he proposes new forms of humility, doubt and 
listening to be advanced in today’s overconfident and exploitative human 
culture.


*SOFIE BENOOT*

Sofie Benoot (Bruges, 1985) lives and works in Brussels. Her films are 
patchworks of different stories, carefully assembled to reveal hidden

Visions du Réel (Switzerland), Camden International Film Festival (USA),
