the relevance that practice-based research has for extending and articulating our capacity to discover new ways of modelling consciousness and designing alternative methods of research capable of generating economic, cultural and social capital; the implication that creative arts research has for extending our understandings of the role of experiential, problem-based learning and multiple intelligences in the production of knowledge.
Situated Knowledge: The Subjective and the Personal in Creative Arts Research
Within the field of science, there is a growing recognition that restricting enquiry to those things that can be exactly measured would mean denying many of the benefits of alternative modes of enquiry (Eisener 1997). Since creative arts research is often motivated by emotional, personal and subjective concerns, it operates not only on the basis of explicit and exact knowledge, but also on that of tacit knowledge.
tacit knowledge and the alternative logic of practice underpins all discovery
strategies are not pre-determined, but emerge and operate according to specific demands of action and movement in time
The acquisition of knowledge may thus be understood as a cognitive operation or “sense activity” involving relations between individual subjectivities and objective phenomena which include mental phenomena—knowledge
materialising practices constitute relationships between process and text—of which the first iteration is necessarily the researcher’s own self-reflexive mapping of the emergent work as enquiry. A dialogic relationship between studio practice and the artist’s own critical commentary in writing of the creative arts exegesis is crucial to articulating and harnessing the outcomes of these materialising practices for further application.
As a starting point for artistic research, being practical and exploring the practice is a good way to anchor the theory. Through Material Thinking, Practice becomes very important. The research and methodologies can be discovered through this and don't need research bases in the same way the sciences do for instance.
knowledge is generated through action and reflection.
