By investigating the interplay of technology and education within the arts, this publication reveals the often unnoticed structures of domination that influence our interactions with digital and learning environments. It challenges the perceived neutrality of technology and proposes a radical rethinking of our relationships with the tools we use to create and learn. It is also a call to action, encouraging artists, educators, and technologists to forge paths towards a more inclusive and equit...

In de kunstwereld is sprake van een groeiend ethisch besef, zowel in relatie tot sociale, politieke en economische uitdagingen, als in de manier waarop er kritisch wordt nagedacht over de eigen productie- en distributiemechanismen. Dit boek doet een poging om te beschrijven hoe de artistieke verbeelding nieuwe situaties kan voortbrengen, op basis van zowel het potentieel als de beperkingen van het individuele 'lichaam' in zijn omgeving Het eerste deel, Ecosophy, gaat over de eco-kunstpraktijk...

The Shape of Evidence onderzoekt de rol van het document in hedendaagse kunst. Kunstenaars gebruiken veelal bestaande beelden uit film, tekst, foto's of ander (archief)materiaal afkomstig uit journalistiek, reclame, wetenschappelijke verhandelingen of industriële archieven. Niet alleen de visuele bronnen die zij zich toe-eigenen verwijzen naar een 'objectieve' staat van informatie, maar ook de strategieën die kunstenaars inzetten om het materiaal naar hun hand te zetten, refereren aan kwest...

Theory appears as an active, transformative, fluid, and communicative element of art practices, and research in the arts in particular. Theory is the fluid that perfuses and connects the territory of fine art and design, as well as other art forms such as music, architecture, writing, moving images, dance, and theatre. At the heart of this publication is the new field of research in theory and the way the ArtEZ T...

After half a century of neoliberalism, a new radical, practice-based ideology is making its way from the margins: commonism, with an o in the middle. It is based on the values of sharing, common (intellectual) ownership and new social cooperations. Commoners assert that social relationships can replace money (contract) relationships. They advocate solidarity and they trust in peer-to-peer relationships to develop new ways of production.

Commonism maps those new ideological thoughts. How do t...
