The artist talk will focus on examples from Harun Morrison’s situated art practice from the last decade with topics ranging from analogue game design, envionrmental politics, boat living and co-design of community gardens. He will talk about his methods of idea development and conceptual decision making. Most recently he has been focusing on an area of linguistics that involves ‘non-words’ and how non-words can be used beyond language assessment contexts, as well as how they overlap with non-words in popular music.
