modulus 2012 - models in artistic research
There are references in literature that suggest there is a close link between a work of art and a model. This assumption that an intrinsic power of the arts can be described and developed with models since the age of modernism, is the drive for fsp-t’s involvement in this area. The models are also being used as a link to the natural sciences and engineering subject areas to focus the concept of art within the triangle of model theory, technical model building and artistic model production, and to develop sample configurations of transdisciplinary work.
A literature and object library which focuses on contemporary art, design, music and theatre is being established. And a simpler, demountable wind tunnel used for preparing other research projects is being built.
