okie. i'm at it again.
posting my project brief online.

Art and Design do not exist in a vacuum; like all other aspects of social life they both react to and interact with changing circumstances. Visual culture as a whole both directly and indirectly reflects material, technological and economic changes just as readily as it does psychological, ideological and political ones.
By very defination and issues is a subject of dispute or disagreement. It is a subject wide open to debate.
Whatever the position of anyone engaged in the debate, they must argue their case with conviction and provide supporting evidence.
Cosider the many issues raised during the Auterm Term Programme and the very many more these in turn gave rise to. Not all of there were directly related to art/design but all were influentially connected.

Identify a contemporary art/design issue that particularly concerns you then examine it from as many different point views as possible. Whatever the chosen issue, you will need to consider the historical perspective (the origins of the issue), current discourse (differing responses), theoretical positions (bases for arguements) and your evaluation of these. You will also need to examine in what ways the issue concerns you and your work.



you get the brief?
worst part of it all: i think i only attended one lecture in the whole Auterm term.
sheesh.
