“The AREA doctoral school organizes its first event bringing together all those interested in artistic research at Aalto University. The event explores the role and celebrates the history, presence, and future of artistic research at Aalto University, in all its diverse processes and materialities. AeRaTe offers a platform for researchers from different disciplines and research groups to come together and share their approaches to artistic research.

To aerate is to breathe, activate, ventilate, protect, and nurture, bringing to life that which is dormant. Aeration is a transformative process, always in motion, creating fertile soil for novel artistic practices, growth in artistic research, and pollination of unprecedented notions and theories.”
