Artistic Research in Film and Philosophy: Transversal Interlacings

As our networked societies go through deep transformations and face novel challenges, complex questions of orientation require novel collaborations at eye level between art, science, philosophy and tech development. In this context, the anthology enacts and explores artistic research in the medium of film and highlights its transversal interlacings with philosophy, thus outlining a forward-looking research area. Artistic research is taken here as an autonomous form of research by the means of art that works in its own languages, employs its own procedures, and follows its own criteria. By “film”, we designate various forms of audio-visual media such as cinema, video, experimental film and post-cinematic formats. Contributions by filmmakers and theorists show and discuss a wide range of topics and approaches, including philosophical aesthetics, the art market, media technology developments and social questions. The book addresses scholars and practitioners of film, philosophy, aesthetics and artistic research.
