Summary/Abstract: The article is based on the correspondence between Udo Wid and Karin Hofer and Łukasz Guzek and Anka Lesniak. Concerns preparations for meetings and conferences in Dresden (Ostrale). This is an example of exchanging views and creating theories in a closed group (echo chamber). It is also an example of how the production of knowledge in the humanities works in practice and what role artistic research can play. So the new discipline of Art (istic) Research uses artistic methods to produce knowledge about the world, while future ArtStudies will probably use epistemic methods to produce knowledge about art. Both perhaps will complement each other.
