This #FrAIday talk Warped Mirrors: Explorations in Sovereignty and Digital Statehood through Legal Artistic Research will be an exploratory talk concerning the research undertaken at the artist residency at UmArts and the usefulness of artistic research for legal questions.
Lucy’s research is broadly concerned with critical legal and contemporary philosophical understandings of law in relation to practice, aesthetics and materiality. Always with a desire to apply theory to practice, Lucy’s work has focused in recent years on methodological and practice-based questions around the intersection of art, law, resistance and property (see ‘Art’ – New Trajectories in Law Series (series editors Adam Gearey and Colin Perrin) (forthcoming, Routledge). Part of Lucy’s work is practice-based, including working with sound, video, sculpture and data sets, as part of British Art Network funded project ‘Instrumenting(s) ‘ in collaboration with Professor Anders Hulkvist (University of Gothenburg) and Dann Hignell-Tully (Distant Animals). Underlying her work is a philosophical probing of the nature of property, materiality and entropic forces of change. This culminated in monograph ‘Protest, Property and the Commons: Performances of Law and Resistance’ (Routledge, 2016) which theorises the intersection of property within law and resistance, interrogating the spatio-temporality and aesthetics of formal and informal laws, property (squatting and housing), commons and protest.
