Art & Design Research

This page explores the various methods, approaches, and theories employed in Design Research and Artistic Research at DAE to guide artists and designers in positioning their work within the broader context of their field. It also examines how these strategies help build on existing knowledge while contributing to new insights that others can later expand upon.

By examining this framework, artists and designers are better equipped to situate their creative practices within theoretical and practical contexts, fostering an exchange between personal exploration and collective knowledge-building. The aim is to better situate the knowledge generated through artistic and design research and to apply greater academic rigor within these fields. By clearly defining the contributions made by each research approach and integrating more structured methodologies, we seek to enhance the academic foundation of creative practices, ensuring that the knowledge produced is well-articulated, accessible, and can be built upon in future research.
