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.
