CROCUS: Interdisciplinarity & Visual Mediation

In this seminar, organised by the ‘Sound, Narrative, Technology’ network and Crocus, we will discuss aspects of interdisciplinary collaborations between artists and research/ers from different fields. Furthermore, we will reflect on how video can contribute to a creative and exploratory process and the meaning-making when mediated in a performance. As part of the seminar, we will also present a film screening as a starting point for further reflection. Finally, we would like to recommend an interdisciplinary performance related to the theme of the seminar, which will take place the weekend before the seminar.
