Creation, Performance and Artistic Research
About this Group
This Research Group results from the fusion between the former groups of Creation, Theory and Music Technologies and of Performance Studies and Performance as Artistic Research. It aims at consolidating and expanding the field of Artistic research, by creating opportunities to combine artists’ and researchers’ knowledge, with benefits for both. Dealing with artistic creation, the group promotes a special focus on the relationship between reflexive aspects, remix practices and aesthetic appreciation.
