[Commlist] International Call for Artistic Research Work

INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR ARTISTIC RESEARCH WORK

The European University FilmEU strives to develop and reinforce the 
field of artistic research in European Higher Education (or HEI), 
emphasizing the exploration of diverse cultural narratives and 
traditions, encouraging novel approaches to blending disciplines like 
technology, science, and humanities with the arts, and addressing 
pressing social issues, fostering critical thinking, and promoting 
dialogue on political or ethical questions through artistic methods. 
FilmEU, currently brings together eight European HEIs. Each year FilmEU 
WIRE organises an Artistic Research Exhibition in conjunction with the 
FilmEU Summit. This exhibition is an important opportunity to share 
artistic research outcomes from FilmEU and beyond. It highlights and 
showcases the impact of these efforts on both the cultural industries 
and society. ARE connects FilmEU with the public and shows how its work 
benefits a wider audience. ARE Sofia. 2-6 June 2025 Synthetic Rewilding, 
between Nature and the Machine

The 2025 edition of the Artistic Research Exhibition calls for a 
profound exploration of the interplay between organic and artificial 
realms, seeking a deeper understanding of co-creation, cycles, and 
reciprocity. Artists and researchers are invited to delve into the 
liminal spaces where ecosystems and algorithms intertwine, where the 
natural and the synthetic blur into new forms of expression, by 
provoking questions of ethical and aesthetic convergence, temporal and 
evolutionary perspectives, and the transformative role of technology in 
art and life. The

Synthetic Rewilding: Between Nature and the Machine welcomes 
contributions that challenge conventions, expand horizons, and embrace 
the dynamic dialogue between humanity and its environment.
