The 14th International
Conference on Artistic Research is co-organised by the Society for Artistic Research (SAR) and the Norwegian University of
Science and Technology (NTNU). It takes place from April 19 to 21, 2023, in Trondheim, Norway.
The
conference brings together leading practitioners, scholars and policy makers, showcasing exemplary artistic research projects,
while focussing key issues through critical debate.
What kind of artistic research practices would
enable us to reflect and respond effectively to the urgencies of our moment? A moment when it becomes increasingly clear that
bug-fixing and incremental improvement cannot be enough. Rather than decoration and further embellishment, our world requires
substantial, systemic change more urgently than ever before. The 14th SAR Conference is seeking examples and models of artistic
research that, more than merely negotiating disciplinary divides, actively embrace them — as spaces of conceptual freedom,
of creative agency, and of societal imagination.
