The Aesthetics Group are Jeanette Doyle, Cathy O’ Carroll, Mick O’Hara and Connell Vaughan
Reading, Writing, Performance.
The Aesthetics Group is a research group affiliated with The Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media (GradCAM) at TU Dublin. The group include researchers and practitioners from a variety of backgrounds including philosophy, visual art, digital media, theatre and performance. Since 2012, the group has collaboratively engaged with aesthetic theory, practice and policy to develop new critical positions in aesthetics and related fields. An important outcome of this research involves performative pedagogy: the group collaboratively write texts around which performances are enacted. This method of ‘pedagogical performance’ serves to explore the potential of performance as a vehicle for mobilizing philosophic and artistic languages and forms as research.
Members:
Cathy O’Carroll is a lighting designer whose work has engaged with performances locally and internationally. Recently she has extended her lighting practice, using written text and scenographic performance, to interrogate the interactive potential of scenography. Her current artistic research explores the constitutive role of technologies of performance; focusing particularly on the interrelation of scenography, techné and practices of the ‘amateur’.
Mick O’Hara is an artist, writer, and lecturer in Fine Art at TU Dublin. He is an Associate Researcher at GradCAM with the Aesthetics Group and Digital Studies Seminar group. He is also the workshop manager at Firestation Artists Studio. He has published and exhibited nationally and internationally and is currently completing his PhD at GradCAM, TU Dublin. He has published work subjects such as the philosophy of technology, the aesthetics of the post-digital, and the aesthetics of football.
Dr. Connell Vaughan is a philosopher and a Lecturer in Aesthetics and Critical Theory in the TU Dublin School of Creative Arts. He is an associate researcher with the Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media (GradCAM) and committee member of the European Society for Aesthetics. He received a PhD in aesthetics from UCD in 2010.
Jeanette Doyle is an artist and Fiosraigh scholar with GradCAM, the Graduate School for Creative Arts and Media, Dublin. Doyle's work has been exhibited at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, PS1 MoMA, The Andy Warhol Museum, Location One NY, The Research Pavilion Venice and the Beijing Biennale. Doyle is also a member of The Enquiry which is hosted by the Irish Museum of Modern Art. Her most recent exhibition in NY was entitled 'From A to Z and Back Again' at the AC Institute which was supported by Culture Ireland.

Title: Performing a List … From A to Z and back again
As part of our colleague, artist Jeanette Doyle’s exhibition ‘From A to Z & Back Again’ @ac.institute , held in New York in April 2019 the Aesthetics Group performed From A to Z and Back Again which was a response to Doyle’s work. The performance was re-presented in June 2020 online at the @ac.institute
The work continues the groups research which interrogates the aesthetics of language and politics in the digital age. By responding to Doyle’s set of treated digital prints, which referenced each letter of the alphabet, the performance offered a playful critique of the contested nature of words and their constituents. It attempts to play between the relation of the immaterial and the de-materialized nature of words and image, their analogue and digital registers.
