We would like to invite you to view the online version of
/Processpatching: Defining New Methods in aRt&D/, a PhD thesis by Anne
Nigten, at www.processpatching.net <http://www.processpatching.net>
V2_ invited Anne Nigten to start the V2_Lab in 1998. She coined the term
‘aRt&D’ to refer to research and development involving art and
technology. One of the next steps in aRt&D will be to formalise its
assembled working methods, which can be seen as essential ingredients
for interdisciplinary collaboration.
As manager of the V2_Lab, Anne Nigten decided to investigate how
electronic art patches together processes and methods originating in the
arts, engineering, and computer science. Her thesis provides a framework
for understanding electronic art’s method, through informing others
about one’s own artistic research-and-development approach, this thesis
contributed to improving the collaboration among artists, technicians
and computer scientists. She conducted her investigation in the V2_Lab,
an electronic-art laboratory where artists establish new alliances with
other disciplines. The thesis contains unique information about specific
cases of projects developed or presented in the V2_Lab between 2002 and
2005. It provides sharp observations and analyses of the practical and
theoretical aspects of artists’ research and development processes.
Nigten’s study addresses fundamental questions about the research and
development methods of artists involved in interdisciplinary
collaborations between and among the fields of art, computer science,
and engineering. The artistic methods cited in her thesis include
examples from a broad range of fields (such as technology, media arts,
theatre and performance, systems theories, the humanities, and design
practice), which are relevant to and intrinsically intertwined with this
project and its position in an interdisciplinary knowledge domain.
Anne Nigten participated in the SMARTlab program at Central Saint
Martins College of Art & Design, University of the Arts London. Her
supervisors were Professor Lizbeth Goodman, James Swinson and Professor
Lynda Hardman.
This thesis has been realized with the support of V2_, Institute for the
Unstable Media www.v2.nl <http://www.v2.nl>, and Multimedian
