UFO
UFO is not a university in a traditional sense—or in any sense. It is a model, continuously revising what a university is or could be. Its goal is to act as a transformative vehicle, capable of moving through impossible spaces and concepts. It operates with complexity, computation, dynamics, ontology, and intelligence, which form the bedrock of the transformative formations that emerge through its behavior and characteristics.
We are living in a time when existing structures and organizations are being stripped down. Their true face is exposed: a lack of care for humanity at their core, built entirely on power and struggle. Our task begins with recognizing this, and understanding ourselves as a force capable of transforming struggle into a different kind of power.
We have, historically, given our power away to a small few. But that no longer makes sense—these figures no longer carry any real organizational value. What is emerging is the possibility for any character to rise into such positions. Not the same positions, but new configurations—new forms. This opens up a global scale of resistance, because the mediatory connections that once held power in place are dissolving through the mutation of existing structures. Not their total destruction, but a selective removal and addition—a mutation that turns them into something far more horrible.

Divya Singh
Divya Singh - born 4 Feb,1995 - is a visual artist, from New Delhi, India.
Her practice is primarily rooted in painting and explores themes such as
isolation, experience, memory and mortality – emanating largely from a
poetic engagement with Time. Mediums such as photography, writing,
cinema and painting are at the centre of her language as a practitioner
and have featured as important categories of both work and interest.
These varied elements come together within the work and can be seen
most distinctly in the artist books made by her, as well as found imagery
which accompany the paintings and other media during exhibitions.
Singh completed her MFA from Shiv Nadar University (India) in 2018.
She is a recent recipient of the Space118 Fine Arts Grant and is currently
working with instant film/polaroid, paintings, video and text.
Tachyon
Tachyon, is a hypothetical subatomic particle whose velocity always exceeds that of light. ... Just as an ordinary particle such as an electron can exist only at speeds less than that of light, so a tachyon could exist only at speeds above that of light, at which point its mass would be real and positive.
