About n+1

n+1 indicates by definition an understanding of creativity which is constitutionally discursive and hybrid, and as such always already open, generative, plural, and in excess and outside of itself. n+1 is itself both an interstitial form and a movement-form; an exploration of the fertility of the overlap and of the movement-form as a mode of creative practice. Such a mode of practice, navigating across disciplinary zones, ‘naturally’ produces ‘strange stuff’ which, as products of interdisciplinary collaboration, critiques the centrality of authorship and the importance of hierarchy and division of labour in production and in the market place. Following its governing algorithm then, n+1 generates a range of projects exploring hybridity, open-ended design process, and performative embodied experience.

 CAStudios’ primary mode of engagement is relational and situated. We work with, and as such our work foregrounds the fertile and generative character of collaborative and interdisciplinary modes of practice. We advocate processes of making which, rather than reproduce planned environments as systems of control, configure place as a discursive contested meshwork of movement, encounter, and exchange. Our work and practice research, engaging particularly with climate change and the concomitant socio-political disruptions and ecological crises, explores human-non-human entanglement in order to reconceptualise and reconfigure formations of terrestrial habitation..
