2010 - 2013
Rebody is a collaboration between Gerhard Eckel, Michael Schwab and David Pirro that was performed at the 2010 Orcim festival. It uses modes of experimentation in a number of implicit ways, which will retrospectively be analyzed in an attempt to formulate how experimentation exactly mattered to the production of the work. Rebody is the first in a number of case studies to be analyzed for a definition of experimental research practice. Situated somewhere between theory and practice such case studies will attempt to come as close to the phenomenon of experimentation in artistic research outside of predefined theories of experimentation.
The project will expose what experiment is in Rebody. It will utilize the novel Research Catalogue software that is developed for the Journal for Artistic Research, which foregrounds alternative and integrated forms of writing. Exposing experimentation in an artwork through novel modes of writing is an experiment in its own right.
