ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses artistic research through the concept of co-costuming in public—a material-discursive practice between humans and more-than-human materialities with co-creational potentials. The chapter documents how co-costumed entanglements cultivate the wearers’ sociomaterial relation-spatial sensitivity towards each other as well as towards other humans and more-than-human materialities.
It is argued that co-costumed phenomena transform the wearers creatively. This is a critical as well as a speculative “world-making” process to playfully co-reflect, co-respond, co-invent, co-sense, co-think and co-learn in the situation. Moreover, it is suggested that artistic research is a material-discursive practice where knowledge is an ongoing co-creational and situational process.
