Art and Interdisciplinarity 2 (BASC0049)

This course offers you the opportunity to engage with art thinking and art practice. It proposes a collective and experimental space based on the individual projects of each student. This course strengthens an analytic and experiential perspective regarding art practice as a method of research and its potential to understand our relation with the world from different disciplines and practices

In this course Art deals with the subjective translation of ideas to matter and materials, and in this conceptual and technical play, individual methodologies arise. By learning from their subjective processes, each student will be able to acknowledge their personal way of thinking which will be—at the same time—interdisciplinary (since art is constantly using the world’s problems and borrowing methods from other disciplines). Starting from each student’s subjectivity, this course proposes a collective and experimental space based on the individual projects of each student. 

Students are invited to consider Science and Art as related systems to interpret the world and to speculate about ways of di-measure reality (incommensurability). It will provide the students with a wide range of approaches into art research and art practice and subjective approaches to scientific research and practice to expand the variety of ways of thinking. It aims to encourage critical awareness and individual ways of looking at, and understanding the world through making.

The objective of the course is to support the development of each student's individual enquiries, to enrich their interdisciplinary processes in order to expand their ability to use art as a research method. This will be catalysed through seminars, lectures, workshops and explorations; manifested in an exhibition where they will present their final art works as a reflection of their processes. They will also create a video essay to analyze their practice research.
