LAB
LAB is an open-ended collective study space designed and implemented by the PARSE Working Group. Each working group member inputs into the LAB with their research focus and develops activity that contributes to the LAB’s overall programme. The aim of the LAB format is to cultivate dynamic research praxis which can concretely connect to pedagogical structures and initiatives across the Artistic Faculty at the University of Gothenburg.
Close Attention
Close Attention seeks to learn from artistic methods and practices that prioritise working site-responsively, and that demonstrate profound listening across multiple ways of knowing and being.
This research focuses on:
- Place-based artistic practices that operate through sustained attention.
- How these practices materialise particular modes of knowing and relating
- The material, temporal, and affective conditions that enable (or prevent) transformation
This focus area is facilitated by Rose Brander.
Technological Wisdom
Technological Wisdom investigates cosmological technologies. It considers how the scientific structure of the universe, in particular the organisation of space and time, impacts the design and application of what could be called vitalizing technologies, namely, technologies which exist outside of corporate capitalist logic, infrastructure and imaginary and which subsequently generate deep existential energies capable of strengthening diverse and complex practices of life and death. This focus area is facilitated by Cathryn Klasto.
