 The Close Encounters elective, coordinated by Sheena Calvert and Leah Fusco introduced a series of primary (fundamental) questions surrounding representation, creative practice and creative thinking: engaging with the complexity of these questions through a creative lens and placing experience and imagination at the heart of how we form knowledge. Seemingly simple questions such as ‘What is an Image?’, ‘What is Materiality?’ ‘What is Colour?’, and ‘What is Language?’ are in fact highly complex/layered. However, they impact upon various aspects of knowledge and human experience and intersect with how we make practice-based creative work, irrespective of medium or discipline. Running parallel to, and intersecting with, these four questions was another, implicit question: ‘What is technology?’. In other words, we examined the larger context in which creative work is created: the ‘zeitgeist’.
     Engaging in a kind of ‘material’, embodied form of philosophy, the students took a journey deep into the heart of these questions and created the work you see here, with the aim of interrogating/ mining/undermining/building a series of fresh perspectives based on ‘forensic’ interrogations. This new understanding could then be dismantled, challenged, used or discarded in the context of student’s individual practice. By being invited to interrogate assumptions, and in taking a step back, the aim was to be both inspired, and challenged, and to move forward into future practice, more confidently, critically, and mindfully.
