Hi
We’d like to tell you about undergraduate art courses we’re teaching
just outside London, UK.
The we being Ruth Catlow from Furtherfield.org, Michael Szpakowski,
artist, filmmaker & composer, Dr Charlotte Frost, digital critic and Sue
Jacobs, artist and designer; and the just-outside-London being, a design
school in the beautiful grounds of an agricultural college in the
countryside a couple of miles from the Essex county town of Chelmsford.
We are 30 mins from London by train. Tate Modern, for example is doable
in about 50 mins.
These are nominally Digital Art and Design courses but students are not
confined to one discipline or the other and are encouraged to freely mix
and match the digital and the concrete. The courses integrate theory and
practice and are largely studio-based with initial guided work based on
key themes such as identity, appropriation and remix, chance and formal
systems, landscape and the environment &c. As students progress they
increasingly determine for themselves the direction and content of their
studies according to their interests and ambitions.
If you would like to see some of the current student work it’s all
collected (originals or documentation) here:

If you know anyone who is contemplating undergraduate study in
art/design we’d be grateful if you’d point us out to them.

Furthermore we actively encourage mature students and students with
non-standard work/study histories but with curiosity, energy and
enthusiasm to apply.
Ruth and Michael are quite happy to answer any questions you might have
or to forward them for reply to our current students.
