在过去的十年中，芬兰的艺术和设计研究已经开始探索新的维度。艺术家和设计师通过观察创作过程本身以及由此产生的作品，在实践中对创作过程以及该过程的产品进行语境化和解释方面发挥了积极作用。从这个新的角度来看，实践艺术家或设计师的知识和技能构成了研究过程的核心部分，这产生了一种新的研究方式。在这种新型研究项目中，部分研究是作为艺术或设计实践进行的。这一新兴研究领域的核心方法论问题是：艺术或设计实践如何与研究互动，从而共同产生新知识、创造新观点或形成新的、创造性的研究方式？在本文中，制作和制作产品被视为研究的重要组成部分：它们既可以被视为特定研究问题的答案，也可以被视为艺术或设计论证。作为艺术家兼研究员制作的物品，人工制品也可以被视为收集和保存信息和理解的方法。然而，这些文物似乎无法传递与研究背景相关的知识。因此，要执行的关键任务是让人工制品发出声音。这意味着解释人工制品。此外，在解释过程中，必须将人工制品置于合适的理论背景中。在这个过程中，最终产品（文物）可以被视为揭示了它们的故事，即它们所体现的知识。
During the last decade, research in art and design in Finland has begun to explore new dimensions. Artists and designers have taken an active role in contextualising and interpreting the creative process in practice, as well as the products of this process, by looking at the process itself and the works produced through it. From this new point of view, the knowledge and the skills of a practising artist or designer form a central part of the research process, and this has produced a new way of doing research. In this new type of research project, part of the research is carried out as art or design practice. The central methodological question of this emerging field of research is: how can art or design practice interact with research in such a manner that they will together produce new knowledge, create a new point of view or form new, creative ways of doing research? In this article, the making and the products of making are seen as an essential part of research: they can be conceived both as answers to particular research questions and as artistic or designerly argumentation. As an object made by an artist–researcher, the artefact can also be seen as a method for collecting and preserving information and understanding. However, the artefacts seem unable to pass on their knowledge, which is relevant for the research context. Thus, the crucial task to be carried out is to give a voice to the artefact. This means interpreting the artefact. During the process of interpretation, furthermore, the artefact has to be placed into a suitable theoretical context. In this process, the final products (the artefacts) can be seen as revealing their stories, i.e. the knowledge they embody.
