Disclosing and Evaluating Artistic Research

Disclosing individual genetic results to research participants.

Investigators and institutional review boards should integrate plans about the appropriate disclosure of individual genetic results when designing research studies. The ethical principles of beneficence, respect, reciprocity, and justice provide justification for routinely offering certain results to research participants. We propose a result-evaluation approach that assesses the expected infor...

Considerations and costs of disclosing study findings to research participants.

Undesirable implications of disclosing individual genetic results to research participants.

Ravitsky and Wilfond (2006) correctly highlight the need for uniform guidelines to assist investigators and institutional review boards (IRBs) in determining whether to disclose individual genetic results to research participants. However, their results-evaluation framework, like other proposals that call for the disclosure of individual results to research participants (Partridge and Winer 200...

Generation of Engineering Research Directions Through Artistic Process

This paper describes the creation of SwarmVision, a system of autonomous robotic cameras that functions both as the basis for an art installation and as an instrument for generating novel engineering research. Through a series of interviews with engineers who examined the project, we illustrate how experimentation with the instrument could lead to potential new research directions in computer v...
