On 27–29th September 2023 the Doctoral School of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław invites you to participate in the 1st International Conference titled “Methodological and Cognitive Aspects of Visual Arts” in Wroclaw, Poland. This will take place at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, Audiovisual Room (410). 

 

The conference's primary goal is to compare research methods and practices within art and science. The focus will mainly be on visual art, understood as a vast domain which includes fields such as fine art, design, and art theory. Speakers who wish to refer to other art disciplines like music or theatre are also welcome if their interests align with the topics of the conference panels. During the sessions, there will be time to consider various approaches to characterizing the research process within art, examining methods like "artistic research" or "art-based research."  

 

A wide range of issues concerning the relationship between art and science, including methodological comparisons and the indication of potential fields for interdisciplinary cooperation, will be explored. The conference will also follow the current discussion regarding the influence of artificial intelligence on art and the importance of image and visual imagination (stimulated by art) in scientific discovery, education and the popularization of science. 

 

In addition, the artistic projects of PhD candidates will be presented in short form (using the Pecha Kucha method) during separate sessions.  

 

If interested in becoming a speaker and participating in the event, the call for applications is open till 30 June 2023. Both academics and doctoral students may submit their papers relating to the panel topics indicated above (participation is free). The expected time of a presentation is 15 minutes + a short discussion. Final decisions for speakers will be communicated by email on 20 July 2023. Apply via the application form online.
