<br>
The <b><font color="#FF0000">FOUR WORDS: ACADEMIA</font color="#FF0000"></b> project has been developed for the new digtial screen within
Leeds Beckett University's Portland Building entrance, bringing together visual art students, artists and writers in composing 15-second statements
to be read within an academic context. Between every six or seven animations, we again insert a series of fake adverts. <b><font color="#FF0000">FOUR WORDS: ACADEMIA</font color="#FF0000"></b> is also part of an ongoing series of billboard
and screen works considering the relationship between the everyday and the avant-garde.
