Synopsis: Topics for discussion are drawn from critical literature in the field of art and design and, on account of the discussions centering on the visual production of the students, the areas for debate are to some extent directed by the students themselves. The issues revolve around the definition of research in the context of art and design, and extensive consideration is given to the modes of expression suitable for communicating inspirational and fugitive artistic intentions.
