Confluence Art Programme
For 2013, Confluence takes the Tremough Campus as a starting point to explore how art can transform the way we interact with and interpret the environment around us. The projects selected for the Summer Term reacted to and highlighted invisible factors that shape the way in which we experience the space around us.
The work highlighted a shared line of enquiry between the University of Exeter and Falmouth University, who share and jointly manage the Campus: that of analysing, interacting with and affecting the environment. The programme connects with many of the disciplines studied and researched on campus such as geography, music and digital media.
Transient and time-based, the work selected created pockets of activity that pop up around campus throughout the year and encouraged different uses of social and academic spaces. By responding to factors such as time, sound and existing infrastructures, these projects didn't just introduce new imagery and objects to the campus. Instead they simply brought to our attention that which is always around us, and happening now.
