Special Issue 2024: *Artistic Research Now*

For the past 30 years, there has been an ongoing debate about the 
relationship between artistic practices and research, and their roles 
both within and outside of academia. The argument marking the beginning 
of the debate and often still carrying it has been structured around the 
individual pursuit of doctoral research (Slager 2004: 12). Summarising 
the early debate, Chris Rust states that it regularly focused on 
knowledge within disciplines rather than “collaborative 
interdisciplinary work” (Rust 2007: 70). Anke Haarmann (2019) suggests 
that while the content of art is undoubtedly acknowledged, its practice 
has not been fully considered, nor has it been studied from a 
theoretical research perspective. Jenny Wilson's work highlights how 
binary thinking perpetuates hierarchies and negatively impacts 
unconventional and non-traditional forms of artistic research. (Wilson 
2018: vi–vii). Wilson explains: “maintaining that ‘artistic research is 
equivalent to academic research’ is also saying it is not really 
academic research” (Wilson 2018: vi). By adopting a collective approach 
to artistic research and involving both artists and researchers, we can 
move away from individual and discipline-centered thinking. This allows 
us to avoid oversimplifying complex issues and recognize the practices 
and theories that the arts promote.


The International Journal on Stereo & Immersive Media (IJSIM) will be 
publishing a special issue that focuses on the exploration of artistic 
research and the various ways in which the arts can foster new ideas. 
The issue will highlight collectively conducted artistic research, 
theoretical thinking about the current state of artistic research in 
Film and Media Arts, and some leading examples of artistic research 
projects in Film and Media Arts. IJSIM invites submissions of papers and 
think pieces exploring the following areas:


  * Experiences, potential and problems of conducting artistic research
    collectively;
  * Artistic research beyond PhD research and/or academia;
  * Demonstration of artistic research in film and media arts;
  * Exhibiting and archiving artistic research;
  * Artistic research and digital cultures: Extended Reality, AI,
    computational methods and games;
  * Hybrid and experimental approaches to artistic research;
  * Artistic research and media archaeology: transforming archives,
    mediating heritage, and questioning cultural artefacts and their
    displays;
  * Artistic research and decolonization;
  * Artistic research, Virtual Heritage and Narratives;
  * Art as research in cognitive ecologies: expanded forms of art, film
    and media;

We welcome a diverse range of submissions, including academic articles, 
think pieces, and personal experiences from artists, industry experts, 
policy-makers, and other institutional stakeholders. We encourage 
authors to share their insights on both historical and contemporary 
events related to their field of interest.


Full manuscripts of either 4000–6000 words (including title, abstract, 
figures, tables, footnotes, bibliography and annexes) or the shorter 
‘think piece’ format of around 2500 words, excluding refs, are expected 
by *15 April 2024*. The special issue of IJSIM will be published online 
in the second half of 2024.


IJSIM is an open-access Scopus-indexed journal dedicated to the 
publishing of research on immersive media cultures developed with 
historical media and state-of-the-art technologies.
