Experimental Fieldwork
Since we started undertaking experimental fieldwork and exploring its definition and meaning across multiple disciplines of art and creative practices. as well as an academic method we have come to realise the importance that sharing critical reflections on process has for artists. Historian of Science and technology, Hans Jorg Rheinberger, who was a very early inspiration described the role of Epistemic Things in relation to experiments in the science laboratory. We believe that epistemic things, or even epistemic events are as crucial to experimental research as the insights and outputs that are disseminated. So, in this section, researchers working on Office of Experiments projects, or associated with experimental fieldwork of interest reflect on their journeys and their own fieldwork strategies, tactics and approaches.
