In this lecture, Falk Hübner will offer various examples of such socially engaged artistic research projects, and discuss the persona of the artist-researcher as a "connector" and the methodological consequences such a positionality implies. From this perspective, he develops a series of questions to the field of computer music, to explore and discuss bridges and potential connections between topics of socially engaged artistic research and the disciplines and discourses of (research in and through) computer music.
