Experimental aesthetics : "Este chegou ao fim está num impasse"

"For a decade now, the debate on art has been dominated by the rhetoric of research. However, does the concept of artistic research still express its originally radical and experimental power today? The concept seems to have become hackneyed and obscured by method fever and academic jargon.

... Could experimental and speculative processes of thought again be leading in aesthetic debates and contemporary art? These are the issues taht come to the fore in this publication through a series of projects, views and perspectives connected to the project Aesthetic Jam - part of 9th Tapei Biennial. "
