Definition of the Research Project: IN>TRA. The Artistic Collaborative Practice as a Model of Experience: New Forms and Prototypes. 2016-2019
IN>TRA is the qualitative development of the results obtained in the previous research projects MetaMethods I and II. In this project we want to go beyond the collaboration based in the mutual observation and the comparative study of work methodologies in techno-scientific and artistic domains to propose axes of conjoint production among different agents in order to build new prototypes
The prototype understood as a functional model (albeit provisional and therefore not yet stable) in which makes visible the main problematics and active principles of something that is still close to intuition, to inaccuracy and error, but that will bear the collaborative work between potential agents in different domains: universities, entreprises, institutions and social organizations that act both in the artistic and the techno-scientific fields.
The Coordinated Project IN>TRA is structured in two sub-projects with specific goals and interests and an horizontal activity that draw traversal research lines which allows identify problematics and elaborate common knowledge.
MetaMethod III (Coordinator Project). Stands for the power of the artistic practices to identify technic-conceptual synergies and to provoke transference phenomena. From the experience accumulated in MetaMethod and MetaMethod II and based in the current work of the subprojects it aims to assay and to provoke experiences, technics and work methodologies in order to elaborate a prototype for the detection of indicators which could point out possible knowledge transferences.
