This paper presents the experience of facilitating an operative architectural history course for undergraduate students at Griffith University, Australia. The exhibition is the mode through which students are assessed and where students engage with the critical act of re-interpretation through the creation of artifacts that solve an original research question. The paper explores the potential of expanding architectural history to include new modes of design research, challenging traditional inquiry methods, and creating new opportunities for practice and research. Ultimately, the paper underscores the value of using the exhibition as a tool to revitalize architectural history for emerging design professionals.

This article explores the potentialities of relationships between artist-researchers and the artworks/artists that inform their research. Seeking approaches to optimize artists’ engagement with works from the past, including recreative practice, it considers experiences of researchers in relation to emerging patterns and themes. The challenges and joys of engaging with the work of previous artists are illustrated. Finally, researchers’ approaches to artworks are considered in relation to aesthetic attentiveness in Hans-Georg Gadamer’s aesthetic hermeneutics to suggest synchronicities. When considered as examples of aesthetic hermeneutics, these experiences may prompt, illuminate, and enrich practices of future artist-researchers and further understanding of Gadamer’s aesthetics.

Our bodies play a significant role in maintaining and nourishing intimacy. For people who are close by heart but physically apart, the bodies are geographically separated, so intimacy is experienced remotely without shared physicality of the bodies. This paper presents the design experiment that is grounded within the author’s remote intimacy experiences and her sense-making attempts as a daughter and a designer. The design experiment focuses on exploring intimate places that are created in remote settings, specifically exploring the place that is created by making (something new and fragile) together and wearing the creation in daily life from a distance.

In the ongoing discussion about the nature of research through art and design, one defining factor has been acknowledged: The objective of this research is not the generalization of formal knowledge, but rather the pursuit of an entirely different way of knowing. This is developed through practice-centered research, necessarily subjective and complex, and in many ways unknown. The practitioner-researcher’s unique role in this research—a reliance on traversing unknowns—merits re-imagining. This paper examines diverse literature, as well as the author's own technical origami practice, to re-envision the work of the practitioner-researcher through the framework of fiction-building.

This artistic research project combines an exploration of natural history conservation at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and museology at Museene i Sør-Trøndelag. The exposition is structured around Field Notes: qualitative records of my observations. Taking an ethnographic and interpretive phenomenological approach, I argue my hypothesis through the subjective experiences of the living, as well as the living dead. Drawing a correlation between the utilitarian subjugation of the animal-other and loss of biodiversity, I posit that the re-presentation of animal materialities in art and artefacts has the potential to re-form culture in the time of the sixth extinction.

This practice-based research is a visitor experience engagement framework applied in cultural institutions. We revisit O’Doherty`s (1999) Inside the White Cube as a lens to the attention-experience economy. The White Cube precedes digital technology and 24/7 contemporaneous experiences. What principles derived from the ‘White Cube’ inform contemporary experience consumption? How are designers to consider stakeholder experiences in cultural institutions? We employ contextual analysis and experience researcher introspection including people, place, objects, rules, relationships, and blocking mapped with ‘White Cube’ ideology. We document a table informed by white cube themes for the future visitor engagement framework for cultural institutions.
这项基于实践的研究是一个应用于文化机构的游客体验参与框架。我们重温了奥多赫蒂(1999 年)的《白立方》(Inside the White Cube)一书,将其作为注意力-体验经济的透镜。白立方 "先于数字技术和全天候体验。从 "白立方 "中得出的原则对当代体验消费有何启示?设计师应如何考虑文化机构中利益相关者的体验?我们运用情境分析和体验研究者的自省,包括人、地点、物品、规则、关系以及与 "白立方 "意识形态映射的阻断。我们根据 "白立方 "的主题,为文化机构未来的游客参与框架设计了一个表格。

The purpose of this text is to relate artistic research to the search for knowledge driven by Eros. It is necessary to focus on one way of researching -in the arts- to see if its objectives and its epistemological contributions are beyond the requirements of producing proven knowledge. The artistic process that is driven by amorousness could take its epistemological nuclei -the intuitions that are expressed on every artwork- and develop them conceptually on the surface itself of the work of art, resulting in a place that reunites intuitions and concepts to resume the integration of knowledge.

We share insights from our practice-based experimentation with ‘feral’ ways of sensemaking in the context of creative transformational practices. Drawing on three art and design research projects, we discuss how feral ways–open-ended, spontaneous, welcoming indeterminacy – may foster more-than-human co-creation of knowledge and data, and nurture shifts from anthropocentric ‘making sense of’ to relational ‘making sense-with’ other-than-human creatures. Through our cases, we illustrate how experimenting with feralness can foreground issues of power, agency, and control in the currently human-centric discourses around data, technology, and sensemaking in eco-social transformation. Our insights may nurture critical more-than-human perspectives in creative eco-social inquiries.

I will present my journey through the 1980s and 1990s as an art student and young artist in Portugal. Based on an autoethnographic methodology, meaning an approach to research and writing that seeks to synthesize, describe, and analyze personal experience to understand a broader cultural context, I start to present my work as an artist of mixed media visual installations to later introduce the impact of new media technologies on my visual arts work. Finally, I present and document the Rupture installation (1998). This text aims to contextualize a historical moment that is about to disappear from the collective memory.

This special issue explores contemporary efforts in rethinking artistic research, especially in relation to its boundaries, methods, formats, and collaborations across fields of knowledge and practice. As artistic research sets itself firmly on its own scientific grounds, its relational and affective potential expands beyond the fields of visual arts. This potential is explored in this special issue as artist-researchers engage in re-imagining research in arts, architecture, photography, design, craft, and education. Through these collective efforts, we expect to contribute to understanding the impacts of artistic research and emphasize its importance in shaping research in a broader sense.
