That the form makes the content, is an artistic insight that probably everybody in the arts would share. What does this mean for the way we meet and work together in artistic PhD groups? How and where can we best bring together the sharing and challenging? How can the making, the representation and the critique of different research practices come together in one room? What is the spectrum we have or should develop beyond the seminar room? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different settings?

• What conceptual effects can we see and foresee coming out of the pandemic situation?
• What potential could this holdWhat are the artistic research challenges and changes in the pandemic/post pandemic landscape?
• How are institutions/artists/researchers dealing with the consequences?
• Crisis often results in enforcing differences, structural, economic, democratic (or lack thereof) . How can the arts with its diversity of fields and environments inside and outside academia work as a community?
• What's at stake?

During the pandemic, research has for many of us become an activity that must be undertaken from home more or less alone with Wi-Fi connection to the university and a functional residence thus temporarily being the primary conditions for artistic research. Taking inspiration from research vessels, laboratories, workshops (e.g. for constructing custom made instruments) and particle accelerators and other sites for experience, experimentation and data collection in the natural sciences, we will think about sites of artistic research. Namely the studios, workshops, circus halls, exposition venues, their alternatives, images and sounds, bodies, texts, rehearsals and all the other sites that we need to access and re-activate artistic research as a form of eco system, a materially and affectively entangled practice. We will articulate and question conditions that enable artistic research as a situated, collective and critical practice from which education can follow through particular forms of togetherness.
