Process-driven arts-based research hinges on sensory embodied experience for knowledge generation as a series of encounters. This refocusing from goal-oriented outcomes to emergent poetic understanding is what Minna Salami puts forward in Sensuous Knowledge (Salami 2020). What I have gleaned from my work is that in order to allow the experience of jarring or knowledge sparks, I have had to step back from the work and immerse myself in process, handing over conscious control to techniques that invite other (human and nonhuman) actors. I have also had to do what I have encouraged human participants to do in the Moving Landscapes project and Keskorra experiments, which is to be in landscapes and find ways to learn about them in hands-on, bodily ways.
