We support researchers who are:
- using creative technologies as a methodology
- creating content in their practice as research
- collaborating with creative industries on impact and/or engagement
- engaging theoretically, ethically, or historically with media.
Our expertise is interdisciplinary, ranging from engineering, computer science, psychology and the creative arts.
Our main aims are to:
- facilitate collaborative research on creative technologies between disciplines within the faculty and across the University
- become a vehicle for engaged research and knowledge exchange with creative industries through regional and international partnerships
- advocate for civic applications of creative technologies to address social challenges
- support the community of early-career and postgraduate researchers working with creative technologies through training, networking and an inclusive research environment.
Bristol is a creative technology hub as one of only two cities outside of London ranked in the UK top 10 for both creative and high-tech clusters. We work closely with local creative industries, renowned in natural history filmmaking, animation, documentary, live performance, games and post-production.
We’re based at the Pervasive Media Studio, where we have an active creative partnership with the artists-in-residency.
