Artistic Research and the Lingering Gaze of Thought, by Henk Borgdorff
Artistic Research and the Lingering Gaze of Thought by Henk Borgdorff is now published in the Journal for Artistic Research.
Based on a talk delivered at the 17th SAR Conference in Galway, Borgdorff explores artistic research as a cutting-edge form of academia, and surveys what distinguishes artistic research while also sharing common ground with fields like visual anthropology, science and technology studies. The heart of the piece is a proposal to rethink "discursivity" beyond language, treating material configurations of sound, image, movement and gesture as forms of rigorous, non-propositional reasoning.
