Artiscycle, a project of the Institute for Applied Aesthetics, explores and visualizes applied aesthetic models of participation, learning, and collaboration, that help form authentic communities. Six guiding principles inform the running of their physical space, while the Manifesto for Applied Aesthetics describes their paradigm.
Amy Franceschini describes:
The idea is to develop an appendix of best practices from collaborative artists and educators at the forefront of interdisciplinary practice and to incubate a re-imagined community learning space that will house the Institute.
Eventually, Artiscycle’s database of field research will be built into a platform for interdisciplinary exchange. The group is currently seeking submissions.
