While sharing many qualities with scientific inquiry, it is distinguished by the unique character and personal dimensions of each artwork. Artistic intelligence is a gestating, unpredictable, and often challenging crucible of creation that furthers discovery ahead of conscious thought. Rather than treating art as data to be analyzed by social science procedures, this guide lets art speak for itself, offering empirical evidence of artmaking's contributions to human understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eArt Is the Evidence\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes how methods emerge, sometimes unplanned, from the art-based research process rather than from following fixed and preexisting institutionally approved methods. The book explores how to work creatively within prescribed structures and embrace tensions with them as sources of artistic transformation. It explores the role of video and digital media in generating convincing art evidence, universal accessibility involving trained and untrained artists, and the future importance of natural art experiments happening throughout the world beyond academic and professional settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShaun McNiff\u003c\/b\u003e, University Professor Emeritus at Lesley University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, has advanced art-based research since the early 1970s.
