The author introduces, presents and considers a recent experiment that saw him walk to the location of the 1995 Essex Range Rover murders while dressed as a character he has created, ‘the last Cyberman’. The article tracks the lineage of this imagined persona through a concise review of the author’s journey through fine art research study, before displaying the photographs and reflective text resulting from the walk. Upon analysing these, connections are made to the work of Francesca Woodman, Michael Landy and J. G. Ballard, as it becomes evident that this recent performative development in the author’s practice reveals previously tacit truths about his relationship to his home county and the displacement he feels in twenty-first-century life.

This article reports on the work developed on the first semester of the 2020–21 academic year in a curricular unit called art and visual culture belonging to the curriculum of the master’s course in design and visual culture at IADE, Faculty of Design, Technology and Communication of Universidade Europeia, Lisbon, Portugal. For the students’ work – to write an academic article – we used JAWS as a template for a hypothetical submission. Each student developed one article as if to submit for publication in this journal. The work was divided into two phases: research and writing. In the first phase, art and humanities methods were explored, concerning reading and organizing textual and visual materials. Gillian Rose’s Visual Methodologies and Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne method were explored. Students chose one exhibition held in Lisbon at the time to be the subject of the article. A ‘Warburg panel’ was created, bringing depth in analysis linking contemporary art or visual culture with Romanticism and or Modernism. In the second phase, writing was structured organizing a visual rhetoric deriving from the images already collected. Textual strategies like paraphrasing, quoting and commenting were also explored to finalize an article using a defined article already published by JAWS about an exhibition held in Portugal. The article concludes on the virtue of using academic journals as a learning tool.

This article analyses how two graphic novels convey the feeling of cultural displacement through their intentions, research methods and visual language. The two graphic novels discussed are Shaun Tan’s The Arrival and a student work by Margarita Louka, Foreign. This article will be accompanied by a discussion in the wider discourses surrounding migration, so that the graphic novels can be correctly contextualized. Even though the visual styles in The Arrival and Foreign are different, both use similar strategies such as defamiliarization, variation of atmosphere and a sympathetic main character to convey the feeling of cultural displacement.

This article developed in three parts the precursory practice-based research, through a phenomenological framework, to the following yet-to-be-resolved core question: is it possible for the artistic (and ritualistic) object to be imbued with what we consider to be the essence of life? The research arrives at this question by exploring how silence and sound can contribute to the perception of life, highlighting language as a driver for cultural change and advancing the use of a new pronoun assigned to those who bear life.

This article, written as a puppet show, presents playfulness as a tool that can be used to formulate a new understanding of matter, following the elaboration of this concept by the philosophical movement ‘new materialism’. The relation between human and non-human, together with the boundaries that separate them, is explored through examples of contemporary art practices. The text is shaped in a theatrical and playful manner to test these concepts, considering both their potentialities and risks.

Artist and educator David Blackmore talks about his work, but chiefly how current affairs influence his art practice and the artworld at large. With a studio and an outdoors practice, much of his work is tied to a sense of system and how he fits – or not – in this system, making ‘the border’ a recurrent theme in his imaginary. From the concept of border to the realm of media, we explore in this interview notions of propaganda, art in the digital age, post-truth, life as an artist and other topical insights for those who use critical thinking in their practice.

This article is intended to reflect on how performance art can be a channel through which play and work intertwine. The authors Sven Lütticken and Erving Goffman are used to support the idea that work and leisure have become indistinguishable and that life has become a generalized performance. It is theorized that art and play have characteristics that antagonize the sphere of work under capitalism. Three performances by the author are presented: The Machine Must Go On is about competition and acceleration in the work environment; Slow Woman is about the invisible and undervalued domestic work and consequently the disparities between men and women in this matter and Business Game about the power dynamics involving Mexican workers and American companies.

This article explores the notions of observation and analysis with the purpose of achieving a globalized point of view, through the lens of two different segments of work: one related to the human body and another related to the landscape. The aim is to examine the possibility of internal and external observation being the two facets of one and the same act, in order to bridge the dichotomy between fragment and totality.

Adopting a fresh approach to autoethnographic writing, this article unfurls tactile encounters with the more-than-human through an active exercise in readership. Situating this within ecosexual and psycho-somatic framings, the text queers kinaesthetic encounter, presenting it as holding the potential for deeper connection, understanding and amity across species. Drawing on Konik and Konik’s notion of a ‘barefoot epistemology’ (: 80), and an overlay of sensorial, critical and reflective writing, the structure of the essay enacts a mimesis of the author’s own kinaesthetic encounter, exploring the provision of research writing to offer the reader their own embodied experience. Questions of research materiality support an enlivened research encounter.

The pandemic and youth-led activism worldwide have disrupted the order of education systems and exposed existing social and ecological inequalities of all Earthly beings. Under radical uncertainty, as transdisciplinary researchers, we created an artistic hundred-word writing piece with materials as participants. We framed this experiment within posthuman thought, which criticizes anthropocentric practices. We recognize the agency and the mutual relationality of humans and other-than-humans in our pedagogical practices and research. We are education researchers at various stages of our Ph.D. studies. In this artistic writing practice, we share our diverse projects: a speculative creation of space, a multispecies ethnography of becoming-with dust and a visual ethnography of urban artistic activism. Following The Hundreds, we partake in each other’s research journeys through hundred-word units. The collaboration engages our rethinking of art and environmental education to answer the call for social and ecological justice.
