Abstract
In light of the rapidly changing landscape of knowledge production and dissemination, this paper proposes a reformation of academic research that integrates artistic methodologies, emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, and prioritizes clear communication to both specialized and general audiences. By reconceptualizing research as a multidimensional, embodied practice that encompasses both rational and irrational elements, we can create a more inclusive, adaptable, and effective approach to scholarship that bridges the rational divide between artistic and scientific inquiry that allows for the engagement of Artistic Research from within the institution, ultimately leading to more innovative and impactful contributions to human knowledge.
