Key research themes

1. How can methodologies in artistic research accommodate experiential and tacit knowledge distinct to art and design practices?

This research area addresses the integration of experiential, tacit, and embodied knowledge into artistic research methodologies. It matters because traditional research frameworks often overlook or inadequately account for the non-propositional, creative, and personal dimensions intrinsic to art and design practices, which are pivotal for generating new insights in these fields.

Key finding: The paper elucidates that art and design research requires methodologies that recognize experiential and tacit knowledge as integral, emphasizing organised inquiry models grounded in reflection-on-practice (e.g., Schön's... Read more
Key finding: This work highlights that artistic research disrupts traditional dualities such as subject-object and theory-practice, necessitating methods that embrace heteronomy, situatedness, and the embeddedness of the researcher within... Read more
Key finding: The paper presents a plurality of artistic research methods that diverge from dominant scientific paradigms by emphasizing praxis, multimethod approaches, and epistemological pluralism. It demonstrates how artistic... Read more
Key finding: This article problematizes fixed taxonomies in research methodologies through an a posteriori, relational, and processual perspective influenced by contemporary art and anthropology. It proposes unlearning rigid... Read more

2. What methodological innovations support collaborative and participatory approaches in artistic research?

This theme investigates how artistic research methodologies facilitate collaborative and participatory processes, engaging multiple stakeholders including communities, audiences, and non-human actors. These approaches matter as they democratize knowledge production in art, challenge traditional hierarchies between researcher and subject, and expand research outcomes to include co-creation and multifaceted narratives.

Key finding: This project exemplifies a methodology where personal narrative is transformed into collaborative participatory performance via one-to-one interactions, using online platforms. It foregrounds intimacy and intersubjectivity as... Read more

Key finding: Using performative and queer-feminist STS methodologies grounded in Fluxus-inspired instructional art, this article introduces relational exercises that position soil and stones as lively, agential entities. The innovative... Read more

3. How do contemporary artistic research methodologies engage with posthumanist and ontological perspectives to rethink research design and knowledge production?

This area centers on incorporating posthumanist theories and non-anthropocentric epistemologies into artistic research design. It is crucial for expanding the scope of research beyond human-centered frameworks to include more-than-human agencies and fluid ontological relations, challenging established paradigms around subjectivity, agency, and methodological rigor.

Key finding: The author proposes the 'Common Ground' model, a flexible research design framework that intentionally accommodates emergent, unpredictable, and messy aspects of artistic research processes. Grounded in posthumanist... Read more
Key finding: This editorial advocates for experimental pedagogies and methodologies inspired by posthumanist theories, including critical posthumanism, new materialisms, and socio-material perspectives. It argues for rethinking... Read more
Key finding: This issue promotes interdisciplinarity and methodologies that decenter human exceptionalism, employing multispecies ethnographies, situated epistemologies, and more-than-human relational practices. The editorial highlights... Read more
Key finding: Applying Jean-Luc Nancy's phenomenology of listening, the paper introduces methodological innovations for artistic research that foreground subjective, situated sonic experience as a mode of knowing. Through collaborative... Read more
