Artistic research takes the exploratory impulse of art and combines it with the wish for knowing the world that characterizes scientific research. It is neither science communication, nor purely artistic practice - it is located somewhere in between. As a field of its own, artistic research is still relatively young; at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, we explore what this means in the context of one of Europe's oldest media art institutions. Our six themes - lifecycles, connect, a common(s) world, ai-lab, post-human world, fellow futures - guide us in what we hope is a contribution to larger discourses from the point of view of art.
With examples and projects, this talk will illuminate artistic research practices, its benefits and challenges and how having a hacker mindset is the first step into becoming an artistic researcher.
