Hydromedia: Seeing with water

This publication collects the results of the collaborative artistic programme ‘Hydromedia: Seeing with Water’, organized in 2023 and 2024 by the Royal Academy of Arts Antwerp, the University of Arts and Design, Karlsruhe, and the Utrecht University of Arts, and co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme.

It contains traces of the various activities that were organised in this project’s three stages: the residencies in and around the cities of Antwerp (April 2023), Utrecht (October 2023) and Karlsruhe (April 2024), some conversations between scientists and artists, presentations by philosophers or activists, and the local exhibitions and workshops that followed each working period. Finally, it also contains manuals written by the artists explaining (parts of) their research process, so the public could experience firsthand how to engage with the medium of water in a variety of artistic approaches, some which will make you wet, others which invite to relate to water in a poetic key.
