Interesting but from a different perspective, can you have good design without research?
As an interaction designer, I am focused on designing well for how people interact with things. Where I work now, we are extremely focused on doing customer research as a part of our design process because we want our products to be based around how our customers think and feel, and how they expect things to be presented. Prototypes are then tested as best as we can to improve them further and this is research too. We also try to keep a tag on what happens after release - although it's hard to change a released product, we can learn from this stage too. I guess this means that our entire design process is research in its way. Even if it doesn't affect the researched product in particular, it can benefit later ones. However, I'm not sure this is the type of research that you're referring to? You seem to be aiming more at artistic research? Could you clarify what you mean for me? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
