In this module, students are introduced to the concept of Artistic Research, and the contemporary debates around the relationship of contemporary art to knowledge production. By providing students with a theoretical context in which to situate their emerging practices as research, the module is specifically designed to bridge the gap between an undergraduate model of studio-based art education, and the independent research of a practice-based PhD,

Through a series of seminars led by permanent staff and guest speakers, students become familiar with key concepts, current trends, and emerging critiques of the field of artistic research. The module runs concurrently with Studio Practice 1, enabling students to reflect and act upon the research methods introduced in the seminars in their expanding studio practice.

There are two components of assessment. Students will compile a sketchbook and research folder documenting the parallel development of their individual research and studio practice. Alongside this, students write a 1000 word statement summarising their research and outlining how they see this informing their future practice.

Humans are holobionts: we harbour and live in close association with unique microbial populations of bacteria, archaea, viruses, and fungi. These microbial communities that inhabit our mouth, skin or gut are vital for maintaining a robust immune system, a healthy gut, a resilient skin barrier and even a healthy brain. Indeed, the intestinal microbiome signals to the brain and can influence a vast range of neuronal functions and well as neurological disorders. But the term “holobiont” is not limited to humans and other animals. Microbes also establish key associations with plants and a healthy plant microbiome is crucial for the development and growth of healthy crops. Furthermore, human health is interlinked with plant and ecosystem health and dependent on the presence of unique, diverse, and healthy microbiomes across different scales.

This module will provide students with a deep understanding of host-associated microbial communities and their contribution to health, but also the implications in various diseases. Novel techniques and methods for microbiome analysis will be presented and explored. Lastly, we will discuss how the microbiome links human to plant and planetary health and the potential of microbiome-based solutions to improve health and solve major environmental challenges.
