and
Interdisciplinary Practices in The Arts.

Applications are welcome from any discipline. The School has particular
research expertise in Design, Fine Art and Performance.

The concepts of the screen, the encounter of ideas and work and the
site as
context exist to be tested. By exploring these mobile and mutable
spaces
into which researchers can enter into a dialogue, this project aims to
developing cutting-edge approaches to arts practices and critical
theory.

*Aims *

- To explore the potential for interdisciplinarity between practices
and theory in the arts, communications and design and the landscape
of
screens which populate contemporary life
- To examine how different creative practices which explore issues
of
site and screen might enrich experience and understanding of the
arts
- To advance knowledge and understanding in the concepts and
creative
application of cutting edge screen/image technology and to bridge
the gap in
access to new ideas
- To explore ways through which screen technology can be used to
generate creative outcomes outside the conventions of the gallery
setting
