The room where artistic research happens is never neutral. Light, sound, scale and layout quietly shape which questions get asked and how the answers are recorded.
Thinking about an artistic PhD? Here is how programmes differ, what a strong application contains, and what examiners look for once your art research is underway.
A plain-language answer to what artistic research is: knowledge made through practice, with enough reflection that peers can examine and continue the inquiry.
Before an artist can respond to a landscape, someone has to get them onto it. On the unglamorous logistics behind Nordic fieldwork-based practice.
Why Nordic galleries and festivals are treating sound as a serious research medium — and how its impermanence is reshaping what counts as artistic knowledge.
How interactive art installations leverage psychology to shape visitor behaviour, from participation triggers to social dynamics.
Where does scientific inquiry end and artistic research begin? An examination of the contested boundary and what it means for knowledge production.
How the practice-based PhD evolved from a marginal experiment into a mainstream route for artistic research in European higher education.
