Alasdair Asmussen Doyle recently completed a Future Screens NI Future Creatives research project: The dormant existence of Tasmanian flora before they were named draws on Alasdair’s PhD research investigating how early filmic representations, in parallel to cartographic tools have framed our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. The project was informed by Uriel Orlow’s Theatrum Botanicum and examines the translation of botanical material and knowledge between Malahide, Tasmania and Malahide, Ireland. Outputs to include presentations and talks at Belfast School of Art and Void Gallery, Derry; and an article published in the Post-Graduate Journal: Intersections, Ulster University Press, April 2022.
The Future Creatives scheme was designed to enable participants to make a step change in their research and innovation by enhanced leadership and collaboration skills and developing new practices in the field of creativity and technology.
