Definition

Practice-based Research (PbR) is a scientific approach based on the creation of an artifact, whether it be a performance, an installation, or even an object. The elaboration process of that artifact, as well as its final form, are both the initiators and the very subject of the critical knowledge production process.

Bibliography

« Practice-based Research is an original investigation undertaken in order to gain new knowledge partly by means of practice and the outcomes of that practice. Claims of originality and contribution to knowledge may be demonstrated through creative outcomes which may include artefacts such as images, music, designs, models, digital media or other outcomes such as performances and exhibitions. Whilst the significance and context of the claims are described in words, a full understanding can only be obtained with direct reference to those outcomes. »
