UKCS: Questionable Security Painting

UKCS (UK Continental Shelf) is a gray zone, framing the United Kingdom with much deeper and more hidden sources of danger than the risks related to ensuring the energy security. The work is part of my many years project ‘Semiosis of Meta-Abstract Symbols / Phenomenology of Freedom’ that ended in 2023 - www.niyazmamedov.com/category/underground/ . It has been carried out at the intersection of art and semiotics research, which resulted in a number of innovations related both to the theory of art and semiotics. Much of this research was carried out in conditions of complete art underground inside the transnational oil corporation bp where I’d made ‘deep dive’ for the unbiased and unrestricted studying political/social/environmental aspects of its activity that were the subject of my interests at intersection of art & semiotics. It was an unprecedented experience of penetrating the holy of holies of what should be explored, and when the research was completed, I left the dystopia having sent preliminarily a letter to bp CEO, substantiating in detail my proposal to liquidate the oil corporation as axiologically unjustified. All observations and conclusions were described in the theoretical work ‘The Script’ divided in two parts: 'The Underground' (related to the closed community of the transnational oil corporation – www.niyazmamedov.com/the-underground/ ) and ‘Art & Signs’ (related to the reflections regarding art and semiotics – www.niyazmamedov.com/art-signs/).
