Spatiality and site-specific art is at the core of this project; investigating sound, art and architecture in relation to its performance- and/or exhibition space, as well as other possible relations between art and spaces. In better understanding and learn from these relations, we have included a broad interdisciplinary group of artistic researchers that involve most aspects of art practices at NTNU; including music, film and media studies (Faculty of Humanities) and architecture, design and visual arts (Faculty of Architecture and Design). 
 
The title is borrowed from the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s book first published in 1958; a poetic investigation of domestic intimate spaces. In this project we wish to investigate the following areas: 

1. Buildings and physical spaces that are either constructed for performance and/or exhibitions, that can be used for the same purpose or are to be considered as art in itself.
2. Outdoor spaces that are either designed for or can be used in relation to performance, exhibitions or are to be considered as art in its own right. These spaces might be outdoor stages, gardens or marine environments.
3. Micro spaces and environments. The space inside a musical instrument such as a violin, a matchbox or a ship inside a bottle.
4. Digital, non-physical and imaginary spaces. These spaces might be recordings of sound and/or image, poetic spaces in literature.
5. Spaces for health and wellbeing. Immersive art spaces that deals with health challenges.
