How to avoid institutional routine and academic rigor is a question emerging time and again in current discussions on the topic of artistic research. Therefore, the project Joyful Wisdom intends to address the original spirit of the field, that is, artistic research as a radical, experimental playground.
From that perspective, Joyful Wisdom presents artistic research as a topical interpretation of Nietzsche’s reflections on Joyful Wisdom (Gaya Scienza): an untimely plea for a different form of thinking detaching knowledge from the leveling tendency of classification and reinvolving speculative and symbolic forms of understanding. Pending questions then are: how can artistic research as a situation-based thinking process escape from the disciplining logic of knowledge production? Should the strategic form of an epistemic guerrilla be deployed?
