This presentation includes a networked music performance (NMP) of the composition Embracing Distance composed within a short case study as part of my artistic research at the Department of Creative Studies/ Umeå university. The composition explores new artistic possibilities, which may arise in a NMP. More specifically, experiment with interaction between three approaches to dynamics and include the acoustics of the room as a significant parameter in the composition. The presentation aim to in relation to the performance raise a discussion around challenges for artistic researchers “working together” with artists, collectives or institutions outside the artistic research community. More specifically, aspects of funding and collisions of interests may be discussed. Presentation/Performance: 10 min. Discussion: 15 min.
