Definition and objectives. Artistic research is research expressed in and based on creative activity, the aim of which is to create new knowledge, new forms of culture and new creative and research methods or techniques, and thereby contribute to the development of research fields, society and economy. The output of artistic research is a creative practice or work, a creative process (e.g., developments in technologies, materials, models, prototypes) or a product or service, and a (generally written) part that conveys and elucidates new knowledge created during the research, which together form an integral whole. Artistic research is multidisciplinary and may use methods from one or more creative disciplines, scientific disciplines or other fields, and create new creative techniques. The disciplines involved and their interrelationships shape the specifics and outcomes of artistic research. Artistic research can be done either individually or as group work. The methodology of artistic research is usually hybrid and is developed based on the research project and in dialogue with the research material and problem. Artistic research can use various empirical, experimental and other research tools and combine them with creative practice, but within a single research project the choice and use of methods must be reasoned and systematic. The objective of artistic research is to create and share new knowledge important for society and culture, to enrich culture with new forms and practices, and sustainable development of the living environment and products or services (including development of innovative technological solutions necessary for this purpose). Artistic research connects creative fields with wider societal processes and problems and takes a critical awareness regarding the role of creative activity around the world. Artistic research practice is also denoted by terms such as arts-related research, art- based research, creative practice research, creative arts practice as research, practice- based research, practice-led research, practice as research, research by practice, performative research, etc. They all have their own specific fields of meaning, but we will use “artistic research” as the umbrella term.
