New methods of artistic research
Through a trans-disciplinary exchange artist Nikolaus Gansterer researches on innovative forms of diagrams revealing their performative potential in the process of aesthetic sense-making.
Drawing a line from figures of thought to choreo-graphic figures both publications interlace fundamental research on figures by developing an innovative diagrammatics in theory and practice.
• innovative diagrammatics
• new methods of artistic research
• experimental systems of notation of epistemic processes

New methods of artistic research
Choreo-graphic Figures: Deviations from the Line stages a beyond-disciplinary, inter-subjective encounter between the lines of choreography, drawing and writing, for exploring those forms of thinking-feeling-knowing produced through collaborative exchange, in the slippage and deviation, as different modes of practice enter into dialogue, overlap, collide.
The publication is conceived as a studio-laboratory in itself, drawing together critical reflections and experimental practices that focus on the how-ness — the qualitative-procedural, aesthetic-epistemological and ethical-empathetic dynamics — within shared artistic exploration, directing attention to an affective realm of forces and intensities existing before, between and beneath the more readable gestures of artistic practice.
- Innovative methods of experimental forms of notation
- With contributions by Alex Arteaga, Adrian Heathfield, Erin Manning, Dieter Mersch, Catherine de Zegher and others
Drawing a Hypothesis is a reader on the ontology of forms of visualisation and on the development of the diagrammatic perspective and its use in contemporary art, science, and theory.
Based on his artistic practice, Nikolaus Gansterer reveals drawing as a core medium of research, which enables the emergence of new narratives by tracing the speculative and performative potential of diagrams. Due to its ability to mediate between perception and reflection, drawing plays a fundamental role in the production and communication of knowledge. The book is a rich compendium of figures of thought, which moves from scientific representation through artistic interpretation, and vice versa.
