In the long term, problems and questions that cannot be explored entirely within the course of one production cycle will guide the research trajectory of the project. These heuristics will feed investigations in multiple fields of inquiry and technology development: social studies of technology, experimental phenomenology, topological media, wireless sensing, wearable computing and responsive dynamic media system architectures.

Research is characterized by the articulation and diffusion of knowledge that can be used in more than one context. The research facet of the project is open-ended work which is guided and seeded by TGarden public presentations.

Results from the research will be generated in the appropriate form of reports, symposia or experimental technologies and should have the same status as other academic or scientific work published in the scholarly, public domain. Such presentations have already begun, in a variety of academic and cultural conference settings.

These ideas will be materialized and fed back to subsequent productions of TGarden. In this way, the research is flexibly coupled with the performances, allowing each to follow their own calendar while at the same time the resonating agendas allow each thread/field of work to gain from the other without rigid interdependencies.
