The course aims to investigate and develop innovative strategies for representing and disseminating outcomes in artistic, design- or practice-based research. Through a critical investigation of the existing formats for representing academic research, as well as the modes established in design-based and artistic research, the course encourages students to explore and invent more specific and topic-related means for representing and disseminating their research. Seeking to expand the field of reference for how knowledge may be represented and disseminated, the course bridges across academic research and methods employed by contemporary artists and designers. The course combines visual and textual analysis with site visits, lectures and readings in alignment with the course participants´interest. Terms and concepts such as work, form, "gestalt", prototype, and model can be discussed and brought to bear in students to position themselves in relation to their own research practices.
The course functions as a forum for discussion and reflection on issues of representation and dissemination in and through art, technology and design. It is made up of 4-5 modules that focus upon the different strategies and methodologies employed by course participants
