One of the great challenges of any research project that spans over several years is to keep the project contained and avoid it from going off in directions less useful for answering the questions posed. Yet, it has to be open enough to allow for unexpected findings in the fringes of the practice. This is especially true of artistic research projects, as they have a tendency to be interdisciplinary and sometimes broad-brushed, which in fact may be seen as one of the qualities of the field. Furthermore, the artistic practice and its contexts, which may sometimes itself be difficult to delimit, are at least at the outset the original bounds of an artistic research project. The difficulties, however, remains to know when a trajectory should be given up or stayed with: When is this particular issue exhausted in the context of the project? It is through method development that a field of research practice can evolve, and we, as artists and researchers, can learn to become better at making those decisions.
