For at least 20 years we have now been discussing what artistic research and development (R&D) might be, and how much or how little it may resemble traditional research. Many conferences with titles like “What is artistic R&D?” have been held, often leaving the impression of not getting much closer to an answer. Yet all along artists from all aesthetic fields have been engaged in projects that might possibly be called nothing but examples of artistic research or development.
