The two-year graduation track Ecology Futures focuses on how bioart and biodesign can create alternative futures. In which present-day ecological concerns are addressed.
This is a graduation track of the master of Arts in Fine Art & Design.
Ecology Futures states clearly what we stand for: not a singular future, but a plural one. Not an individual being disconnected from others, but rather an assemblage of many entities. Living, decaying, human, other-than-human, connections forming and re-forming as circumstances warrant. This alternative future needs education that draws from many domains.
That's why Ecology Futures is trans- and multi-disciplinary. You learn how to work with living materials in a laboratory, read theoretical and historical texts that support your practice and engage with life outside the classroom through hands-on fieldwork. Manipulating the analog and the digital to realize your projects.
Your time in Ecology Futures prepares you to address difficult problems, not only related to ecology but any domain that requires the input of multiple skillsets.
You will have access to the Material Incubator Lab of the Centre of Applied Research for Art, Design, and Technology (CARADT). This is a unique feature of our programme where you develop laboratory skills that support your practice-led artistic research.
The graduation track Ecology Futures is delivered across 24 months, comprised of 4 semesters and 6 units of study. Each unit ends with an assessment correlated to the learning outcomes.
During this master programme, students from various disciplines learn how to provide meaning to the world, supported by a motivated tutor team.
In the first year you focus on developing new skills, methods of research, and setting up your research program for your artistic practice. Ecology Futures offers you modules and tutorials to explore how to contextualize, expand, and integrate your work within the professional domain. You additionally have extensive time to focus on your own research. At the end of each semester there is an assessment on your individual studio practice. All education takes place at the Avans location.
Semester 1 Context & Skills Learning
Semester 2 Co-research and External Enquiry in the Field
In the second year you focus on writing your thesis and materializing the outcomes of your research. You present your final research at the Graduation Research Hub and at the Graduation Exhibition. At the end of each semester there is a summative assessment on your Individual Studio Practice. Education takes place in a hybrid programme. It is possible to study remotely or to combine it with residencies or research activities abroad.
