Sound artist Georg Klein combines theoretical considerations with an artistic perspective on the subject of artistic research. Starting point are Dieter Mersch's reflections, which he presented during the last lecture series at SoundS and in his book "Epistemologies of Aesthetics". Using examples from his own artistic development of research-based sound art over the last 25 years, both initial conditions and artistic results are presented and put up for discussion. The conceptual distinction between research ("Forschung") and investigation ("Recherche") plays an important role, as does the different potential with regard to public impact of the outcome.
