CFP - special issue of The International Journal on Stereo & Immersive Media
Artistic research now

Deadline: 15 April 2024

For three decades, the debate around the relationship between artistic 
practices and research and their role in- and outside academia has been 
regular and developing. 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). According to Anke Haarmann (2019) despite knowledge of the 
content of the works is certainly recognised, art has not enough yet 
been considered in terms of its practice on the one hand and 
simultaneously from the perspective of research theory on the other. 
Jenny Wilson has illustrated the persistence of hierarchies emerging 
from binary thinking and definitions through the negative that this 
causes (e.g. non-propositional, unconventional, non-traditional, 
non-academic, etc.) regarding 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). A collective approach to artistic research, including 
artists and researchers and the various combination of these roles, 
offers a way to overcome individual- and discipline-centred thinking and 
the reductive binaries that this can foster, and draw attention to both 
the practices and theories that the arts champion.

Wishing to explore the wide range of artistic research and the many ways 
in which the arts can nurture new ideas, the upcoming special issue of 
The International Journal on Stereo & Immersive Media (IJSIM) is 
focusing on collectively conducted artistic research, the 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 calls for papers and ‘think pieces’ investigating, but 
not limited to, 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.

Accepted Formats and guidelines
In addition to academic inquiries, including full-length articles and 
the shorter and potentially more essayistic “think pieces”, we encourage 
submissions that explore experiences “from the field”, past and present 
– by artists, creative and industrial figures, policy-makers, and 
institutional stakeholders.

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.
