| Many of the most fundamental challenges to human cultures are at play in the hybrid landscapes that are emerging and disintegrating out there beyond our front doors. To engage with the full complexity of varying territories and the dynamics of environmental processes, fieldwork has become a vital ingredient to artistic practice. Fieldwork isn't just being outside- as stated by eminent landscape thinker Jan de Graaf. For me it is a method of enquiry that starts from radical non-isolation of the participants, their thoughts and their acts: perceiving, being and working in full exposure to the complexities and subtleties of an area which is being navigated in collaboration with local experts. Experts may range from artistic or scientific researchers to indigenous tribals or semi-traditional hunter/gatherers. Fieldwork teams are established to have a wide range of backgrounds and ways of knowing. Ideally team members are both complementary and challenging each other. Fieldwork then is a multi-sensory exploration that is based on direct experience, open-ended experimentation and in-situ prototyping starting from local circumstances, complexities and relations. Enquiry as an embodied act that seeks - in the words of Jens Hauser - to be un-split from environmental processes, natural cycles, climatic conditions, seasons, (non)human cultures - which collectively may be captured by the term otherness. | * [[https://elementslabblog.wordpress.com/|Elements Lab at ArtScience Interfaculty]] |

It is a method of enquiry that starts from radical exposure of the participants, their thoughts and their acts. Perceiving, being and working in full exposure to the complexities and subtleties of an area which is being navigated in collaboration with local guides, both human and non-human. Experts may range from artistic or scientific researchers to representatives of ancient cultures. Fieldwork teams are established to have a wide range of backgrounds and ways of knowing, that challenge or compliment each other.
