“Co Agency - Artistic Research as transformative practice” brings together young and emerging researchers in artistic research who want to explore how artistic research can contribute to coordinated and collaborative efforts to address societal challenges. Drawing from specific experiences and by mapping related initiatives, the group will explore and develop an advanced understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of particular artistic research approaches and methodologies contributing to collaborations with other forms of knowledge production.

ARIGA offers a context for artistic practices that create processes whose performance results in the work of art: such performances may or may not be influenced by external factors or agents (the audience, human performers, data, light, the weather etc.). We refer to practices that set the conditions for a work of art to emerge based on the temporal and unforeseeable interaction of an ensemble of agents, objects or rules. ARIGA gathers artist researchers working in diverse media, including space, sound, image, video, sculpture, and language.
