Research Art

More about the book

Exploring the concept of "Research Art," this book delves into the significance of margins and marginality within the art world, drawing from Michael Betancourt's pioneering use of glitches in his work. It bridges theory and practice through discussions of digital glitch movies, typoetry, and abstract photography, supported by 21 full-color illustrations. The text argues for the legitimacy of "Research Art" alongside traditional art forms, positioning it as a critical response to contemporary issues like AI and digital capitalism, while challenging conventional expectations in art interpretation.
