This project will introduce you to a wide range of themes and subjects to support your practice, enabling you to position your work in a greater context to the broader world.
You will be introduced to five key themes that act as starting points for you to build your research and creative work. You will choose one or more of these themes to expand your engagement with the broader world and consider the interrelationship with your practical making. The development of a theme at this stage will connect you to your understanding of interdisciplinary methods and their application in your work.
The themes broadly cover the following:
- Geometries – systems, nature, data, patterns, chaos, The New Aesthetic.
- Growth – cities, morphology, life cycles, environments, the Anthropocene.
- Language – stories, mythology, narratives, fiction.
- Magic – alchemy, mythology, ritual performance, illusion.
- Materiality – haptic knowledge, geological time, matter, reality.
