Frankenstein, the Mary Shelley, may be the first piece of 'arts-based' research directed at the effects of new technologies.
Certainly arts-based research could explore the effects of new communications technologies, speaking robots, Artificial Intelligence, algorithmic learning formulas upon learning creating the context of edutopia or edcopalypse.
here is a reference list:

I support online education but in these studies how exactly will the art media be used to come up with conclusive results.
