VIS Open Call #14

In this edition of VIS we would like to pay attention to experimental art practices and artistic research where the experiment is the heart of the practice and the specific outcome of the process are not known. In many artistic research projects and proposals there seems to be a need for a clear and specific artistic outcome. This can limit the possibilities within experimental art. We wish to look at failure in art and artistic practice, how it can be used as a method and as an integrated part of the process in both artistic production and research. We especially encourage proposals that experiment with different formats, the balance of visual content and interactivity etc, and through that explores and challenges the possibilities within Research Catalogue’s digital format.  

The deadline for submitting exposition proposals is 4 December 2024. When an Open Call concludes, the VIS editorial committee selects a maximum of seven expositions to proceed to peer review, copy-editing, and publication.
