PROJECT PROFILE
Interface is an interdisciplinary and practice based research centre situated in the School of Art and Design, University of Ulster, Belfast campus. It is a key element in a substantial redevelopment of the Belfast campus and has been established since April 2004.
Interface explores two key processes that underlie innovative research practice in art and design. Inherited categories of value and the other is the impact of digital media and new technologies on the production, distribution and mediation of art and design. Both areas are examined in the context of the wider social, economic, political arena of northern ireland and in the world.
Interface builds on the success of distinct areas of excellence in research activity within the school of art and design. These are research in fine art into location and context, temporary, site-specific work and documentation issues and, in textiles, research into textile art, design and new technologies.
