The artist: from activist to technologist

What characterises the professional practice of artists today? A debate with art theorist Janneke Wesseling, philosopher Henk Oosterling, and artists Robert Glas and Eva Olthof, among others. Reviewing the CBK’s Onderzoek & Ontwikkeling (Research & Development) scheme, the publication evaluates its last four years of artistic research from different professional positions: the artist as activist, connector, translator, news reader, historian, scientist, technologist, and image maker.
