Jo Scott: artist-researcher New 1 Oct, 2024

i2ADS Collaborating Researcher

I’m really delighted to have been accepted by the scientific committee of the i2ADS research institute at the University of Porto as a collaborating researcher.

i2ADS is a leading R&D Unit in Art and Design hosted at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto (FBAUP). With a focus on artistic research, ‘i2ADS’s mission is to promote research across art and design to tackle educational, cultural and societal challenges’.

I’m excited to collaborate with the institute and to work with Portuguese colleagues on projects that feed into its core mission.

You can find the i2ADS website here and my profile on that site here.

flakkari

“Icelandic culture is infused with stories of travel. When names were needed for modern machines, the technology that enables our imaginations to travel, words were chosen that centred on the quality of roaming. Thus the neologism for laptop is fartölva, formed from the verb far, meaning to migrate, and tölva – migrating computer’; its companion, the external hard drive, is a flakkari. The latter word can also mean ‘wanderer’ or ‘vagrant’. In the end it’s the wanderers we rely on.” From Nancy Campbell’s “The Library of Ice”.
