Context, Concept, Creativity
The general aim of the conference is twofold: to develop ways of talking about, analyzing and evaluating various forms of artistic R & D, and to consider the special nature of cognition related to artistic creativity. Using the subtitle of last year’s conference, the ambition is to “develop a discourse” by focussing on – and maybe experimenting with – various ways of presenting, debating and reflecting on examples of artistic R & D.

This ambition is underlined again by the two last words of the subtitle of this year’s conference, “concept” and “creativity”: The formation of a concept is both a creative and cognitive act in itself, but what kinds of concept can we use when talking about creativity? The first word of the subtitle, however, points to the fact that both art, design and research always take place within a broader context, one which may, for instance, give rise to ethical questions.
