The colloquium gives insight in the working process of the Research Academy 17 as well as in the beginning of a newly set up research project at ZHdK, the Research Video Project, directed by Gunter Lösel and Martin Zimper. The aim is to open up the lab-situations of the two research projects to the public, and to show some interim findings of the preceding workings days. These showings in the fields of documenting and publishing performing arts will be enriched by an input of the Swiss Dance Archive focusing on the problematic of Archiving as well as by expanded reflections about going beyond documentation by Scott deLahunta, Co-director of Motion Bank, and faculty member of the Research Academy.
The colloquium places value on practice-related theory and addresses all
performer and video artists.
