The concept of “art as research” has risen over the last two decades as an important critical view on the relationship between art and science. Of particular interest is how the methodologies of art and science might be merged to create a proper understanding of art-based research. On the other hand the notion of “artistic research” seems to undermine the leading role of science today. Instead, the presentation deconstructs and displaces the terminology that typically accompanies the question of the relationship between artistic and scientifi c truth. It shifts the question from comparison to the uniqueness of artistic thought that differs from any propositional or discursive way of thinking. Identifying artistic practices as a specifi c mode of thought that do not make use of language in a way that can easily be translated into a scientific argumentation or philosophical concepts, the presentation advocates for an aesthetic mode of thinking beyond the so called ”linguistic turn”. Art, hence, becomes thought that cannot be substituted by any other system or discourse.
