Synopsis

How does artistic practice lead to the production of knowledge? How does, in turn, artistic knowledge relate to its material base? How does contingent materiality guide the artist towards finding form and developing a statement? This volume is dedicated to the object as a process in order to offer new insights into the ways the object – broadly construed, comprising digital and other non-classical objects – becomes an active element in artistic practice.
