Basic Artistic Research: The Foundations of Science and the Future of Art
Abstract This paper explores the possibility of establishing “Basic Artistic Research” (BAR), inspired by the concept of basic scientific research, which has shaped the development of science for nearly a century. It argues that, like scientific research, artistic exploration without immediate practical application could lead to significant innovation in the arts.
