The Alchemy of Research Creation - Paul Ferguson - 05-20-2026
The Alchemy of Research-Creation: On Pataphysical Experimentation, Dark Infrastructures, and Antifascist Studio Practices [Amazon, Bookshop, Publisher, Local Library] by Tyson E Lewis and Peter B Hyland, foreword Erin Manning.
"Research-creation is an attempt to suspend the operative divisions that define Western modernity—divisions between the head and the hand, knowledge and pleasure, science and art. Yet this practice, which has so much promise, has often fallen prey to facile, fashionable notions of interdisciplinarity and hybridizations of science and art. The Alchemy of Research-Creation charts a new, imaginative genealogy for research-creation by returning to a spatial and temporal configuration that predates the advent of the divided Western world: the alchemical studio."
