labor 2: Indirect experiences. A project from the Journal für Kunst, Sex und Mathematik

With the project Indirect experiences, the focus in laboratory 2 is on an ongoing research situation (project duration: August 2010-11). In contrast to conventional projects, the research process is basically always visible and traceable. The artists Judith Albert, Barbara Ellmerer and Yves Netzhammer as well as the media theorist and project director Nils Röller continually publish their work in the blog Journal for Art, Sex and Mathematics ( www.journalfuerkunstsexundmathematik.ch ). The blog is not only used as a communication platform, but also as a research tool, and occupies a central position within the project.
Indirect experiences examines the visual depictions of magnetic forces during the period from 1600 to 1800, in which particular importance is given to the treatise Magnetologia Curiosa written by an anonymous author and published in Mainz in 1690. The project is based on the thesis that the depiction of experiences or phenomena – as magnetism for instance – with the aid of instruments had always been a great challenge in the history of physics and that it had and has a certain relationship to art.
On the basis of the historical pictures in Magnetologia the participants research the prerequisites in the history of science, artistic strategies particularly of images of such tools of visualisation, their functions as well as the boundary line between the perceivable and the non-perceivable in the image.
