UFO
This research centre brings together the Unified Field Theory (Andy Thomson) and Orange Theory (Paul Cullen) research clusters.
The UFO Bureau (of Investigation) will investigate through individual and co-operative modes of art practice, the ways in which power or energetic force (e.g. social, political, physical), can deconstruct the façades (e.g. language, systems, infrastructure and stereotypes) that delineate diverse discipline paradigms. Using a project-based structure of inquiry, individual artist/researchers will co-operatively produce artworks and ideas that model and propose heterogenic paradigms of trans-disciplinary praxis.
Qualitative research methods are intended to produce research outcomes including artworks, exhibitions, curricula and learning materials (e.g. lectures, projects, workshops and seminars),articles papers, and a critical forum online resource to facilitate dialogue and document and disseminate research outcomes.
According to Badiou, ‘Art in general, has nothing to do with communication or entertainment; rather, it must be like a UFO — a sighting of something both distant and obscure, and not fully locatable in any predetermined schema.’ Alain Badiou “Cinema” Polity 2013
