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.
