This collection brings together artists and theoreticians to
provide the first anthology of a new field: Practical Aesthetics. A
work of art already contains its own criticism, a knowledge of its
own which need not be conceptual or propositional. Yet today, there
are many approaches to different forms of art that work on the
brink between science and art, 'sensible cognition' and
proposition, aesthetic knowledge and rational knowledge, while
thinking with art (or the artistic material) rather than about it.
This volumes presents ways of thinking with different forms of art
(film, sound, dance, literature, etc), as well as new forms of
aesthetic research and presentation such as Media Philosophy, the
audiovisual essay, fictocriticism, the audio paper, and Artistic
Research. It reveals how writing about art can become 'artistic' or
'poetic' in its own right: not only writing about artistic effects,
but producing them in the first place. This takes art not as an
object of (external) analysis, but as a subject with a knowledge in
its own right, creating a co-composing 'conceptual interference
pattern' between theory and practice. A 'practical aesthetics' thus
understood, can be described as thinking with art, in order to find
new ways to create worlds and thus to make the world perceivable in
different ways.
