Art/In.formation: artistic research in film and sonic art at the edges of contemporary practice.
Featuring two days of artist talks, dialogues, presentations and demonstrations of artistic research in progress, Catalyst's MA Symposium presents postgraduate students from Catalyst and other MA programmes in Berlin, and special guests.
As a field that is constantly inventing and reinventing itself, artistic research is an ongoing negotiation of practice, techniques, methods and discovery. Shaped by the work in progress, the MA Symposium celebrates the process of innovation in a variety of creative disciplines and interdisciplines. Affirmative, artist-centred and practice-focused conversations illuminate the process of artistic research and give voice to diverse and sometimes dissonant points of view, without a need for their resolution.
We invite you to come together as a community of artists to share, discuss and connect, knowing that this will inspire and nurture creative work.

Artistic research at Catalyst
At Catalyst, our master’s programmes in music and film are explicitly structured around a practice-based artistic research framework. But what does that really mean, and why is it important? How can research make our artistic work more developed, more powerful, more relevant and more alive?
