They came together in a series of intensive online encounters between 2020 and 2022, to explore how aesthetic research practices might enable and realize a specific form of thinking, which they term &#8216;aesthetic thinking&#8217;. This shared enquiry into practice poses questions about how they can be developed, tested, shared and brought into relations with other practices, while reflecting on under what conditions aesthetic thinking flourishes.

The exposition allows the reader to navigate their own route through and between three &#8216;scales&#8217; of approach: Scales of Negotiation, Scales of Institution and Scales of Time, Space and Velocity. The group seek to re-vision the relationships between scientific and artistic research, exploring artistic outcomes that can support publics and generate socio-political impact.

Beginning in the 1970s with studies of minute specimens of organic matter, her approach to drawing and painting images of these objects led to a realisation that animism operates at every scale of the physical world as part of larger systems of relations and forces. The concept of &#8216;animism&#8217; refers here to active systems in the physical world capable of producing transformation and being agents of change while &#8216;graphic&#8217; refers to marks made on a surface, an act of bringing something into being, not necessarily as a picture or representation.

The project\u2019s dissemination strategy is threefold: this exposition, a published monograph&nbsp;and&nbsp;a&nbsp;performance and exhibition of artworks, each calibrated to communicate the research through distinct epistemic affordances. Grounded in sensory field encounters within commercial laboratories and manufacturing facilities \u2014 Bayeux London, Make it Easy Lab Nottingham, Fujifilm Tilburg, and Polaroid Enschede \u2014 the exposition foregrounds production ecologies where photographic work emerges through distributed relations among technicians, machines, paper, chemistry, protocols, speed, and darkness.&nbsp;[en] [<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.22501\/jar.603276\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.22501\/jar.603276<\/a>]\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his Spanish language exposition&nbsp;<em>Hacia el int\u00e9rprete extendido. M\u00e1s all\u00e1 del saxof\u00f3n: el gesto y la tecnolog\u00eda en P.O.V<\/em>., Pedro Pablo C\u00e1mara Toldos explores the creative possibilities arising from the convergence of music, technology and performance. He presents P.O.V. (\u2018Point of View\u2019) a project that redefines the concept of the \u2018extended performer\u2019 from an interdisciplinary perspective. This approach combines electronic music, virtual reality headsets, video and social media as integral elements of the performance. Through this multimedia interaction, the aim is not only to amplify the sensory impact of the work, but also to encourage critical reflection on how technology and social media shape perception and identity, challenging the traditional conventions of the classical concert and proposing a novel experience for both the performer and the audience.
