Abstract
This exposition discusses risks that emerge from the artist-researcher’s fluid position within artistic
research. The research entails the artistic researcher interviewing vaccine-critical parents and a vaccine
scientist about their opposing standpoints toward immunization and vaccination, while remaining
ambivalent and sympathetic toward both views. The exposition uses concepts such as positionality,
insider-outsider, and sameness to unpack the various risks arising from the stimulation and staging of
conflicting voices about vaccines. These risks include upset participants due to unmet expectations
raised partially by the artistic researcher’s understanding attitude, and the pervasiveness of the “voice”
of the documentary film being created throughout the artist-researcher’s interactions with the
participants.
