As the artistic research project Navigating Dizziness Together started mid-May, this video-lecture is an introduction to the field to provide background for the definition of dizziness and further proceedings of the artistic research.
In the beginning we asked how dizziness can be translated to the field of typography and type design. Can a typeface make us dizzy?
Having a body is a prerequisite for the experience of dizziness – without a body, no experience of dizziness, as dizziness happens within the body and to the body.
Vertigo in the City brings together an eclectic mix of scholars, clinicians, practitioners and artists to share perspectives on vertigo. The multidisciplinary conversations explore how sensations of dizziness and disorientation are diagnosed, analysed, evoked, induced, critiqued and represented, with a particular focus on the built environment.
Five arts-based research projcets taking place at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna will be presented and discussed. Kerstin Mey from University of Westminster and member of the Austria Science Board will give the keynote at the end of the day.
Extending to 'Utrata równowagi' at Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond curated with Michał Matuszewski six programmes of Austrian and international films.
