In the late 1960s, educational reform in Quebec led to the integration of art schools into universities. The presence of artists within faculty led to a rethinking of artistic practices in the academic environment as forms of research, forcing the development of new epistemological paradigms. The emergence of research-creation as a research approach has opened a whole new field of possibilities for the arts, humanities and sciences. The Hexagram network for researchcreation in art, culture and technology was founded in 2001, at a time when research-creation was becoming institutionalized, recognized and financed by major provincial and federal research funds. Today, Hexagram is a hub for international collaborations in research-creation in art and science.
