Abstract
This essay contributes to and updates scholarship on practice-based research. More concretely, it situates research-creation vis-à-vis practice-based research and discusses the distinction between artistic and mediatic research-creation. The essay insists on affordances of interactive media as they are foundational for drawing accurate research results. The paper contributes to theorizing mediatic research-creation by adding the component of interactivity to it. By introducing interactive documentary (i-doc) as a creative media practice, and by providing a succinct case study of i-doc Field Trip (2019), the text engages with the notion of mediatic research-creation head-on.
