Visual Narrative Research Group

The Visual Narrative research group are investigating how contemporary linear and non-linear media approach storytelling, dramatisation and putting across information. We look at development and production, functions and audience response, equipment and constellations, but also fundamental issues such as the role and positioning of visual media practices. Creative art practice is an important tool in the methodological repertoire.

INTERVIEWS

Augmented Reality in der Stadtplanung

Participatory planning using Augmented Reality

The research team around Tobias Matter at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts is exploring and developing the participatory possibilities of Augmented Reality (AR) in urban planning.

Post-Photography: In-Game Photography

Marco de Mutiis analysed the interplay between photography and games as part of the SNSF-funded research project on Post-Photography.

RECENT PROJECTS

Figuring the Invisible

Figuring the Invisible

The research will identify and raise awareness about the audiovisual conventions and communication tactics of animation in multimedia science outreach, in respect to the representation of invisible objects (too big, too small, too far away in space and time).

Augmented Planning – Enabling broader participation (Innosuisse)

Augmented Planning – Bäume und Begrünung einer Strasse

What tools do we use to design and shape the city of the future? Can augmented reality democratize public spatial planning? In this Innosuisse project, we explore these and other questions in a transdisciplinary and practice-based way.
   

Video Essay (SNSF)

Video essays do more than show pictures. They use them as analytical tools. This project considers the potential of video essays as an experimental research method, a new procedure for generating knowledge and an extension to teaching. 

Netted Letters (SNSF)

Digital tools help to connect archive sources in many different ways. The research team is exploring how private letters, jottings, photographs and objects can be used to visualise historical discourses in virtual reality (VR). 

iDoc (SNSF)

Drawing on production methods, software and interface studies, interactive documentary films are integrated into theory building around documentary film to identify criteria for description and categorisation. 

Moving in Every Direction (SNSF)

This is a project about artistic film practices that present moving images outside cinemas. Two artistic research projects analyse spatial concepts that have been implemented at art exhibitions and in the urban space in settings where film/video has an established role.  

 

Media for Cultural Mediation

The importance of cultural heritage is often hidden. This online manual uses short films to explain different approaches to presenting cultural heritage, with examples to illustrate how mobile digital interfaces can place a message.

 

Post-Photography (SNSF)

The project supports research into photographic practices in the context of digitisation, the networked production of images in everyday life, entertainment culture and art.

Visual Narrative Introduces Itself!

In summer 2021 the research group came together for a retreat. Everyone was asked to prepare a short introduction to their interests. With the help of Korsakow, a tool for working with non-linear database-driven narratives, we have put together a brief summary of these two days. Korsakow is also a focus of research in our iDoc project on interactive documentary film.
