In the context of developing research activities and their communication, research projects in both scientific and artistic research fields including doctoral students were invited to present their current research in five to ten-minute videos.
thank you very much for your open insight into your research process!
I find your project really super interesting and important and potentially live-saving. Thank you!
Your abstract seems very clear and convincing to me and if it wasn’t that you still have to write it, I’d love to read your work right now.
Concerning your video presentation I just thought it would have been helpful to get to see some exemplary images and also get an impression of how you look at them and work with them. And I of course would have been keen on reading your table of contents – but I do understand of course, that you don’t want to publish it on this stage. But everything you share sounds comprehensible, intriguing, inspired and inspiring.
Maybe I’m just not familiar enough with Warburgs theory, but what I could not really grasp was the way/the criteria for your choice of images. Of course you’re looking for the motives you want to work on – but how do you reflect on context- and media-specific qualities? Which role does it play where a painting/photograph comes from, how it has been produced, whom it was made by and for, how it has been received etc. What role do aesthetic qualities (in the broadest sense) play? What are the reasons for you to choose one image or another, apart from finding the right symbols depicted?
I’m enthusiastic about your plan and am curious on how you are going to realize it!
Good luck and all the best,
Verena Faißt
PS: I love the beautiful wall in your back and the swooping birds! ;-)
