Interactive Media
Cluster lead: Julian Konczak
The Interactive Media cluster brings together practice-based researchers from a range of disciplines and represents a commitment to integrating the potential of interactive technologies into both commercial and artistic projects.
Interactive, transmedia and multi-platform work has been exhibited internationally by group members. The
cluster is committed to developing research that conduits industry practice into teaching.
The group started in 2009 in response to a need to bring practitioners working in a range of digital and interactive media from across the University. The group is cross faculty based and encompasses visual and audio research work that ranges from implementation of state of the art HTML 5 web video delivery systems, 3D cinema to circuit bending.
With its emphasis on practical production work the group is strongly aligned to the latest in curriculum development and the wider University strategic development plan. Group members have both historically and contemporaneously key drivers of the implementation of interactive and digital technologies at both undergraduate and post-graduate level. Several group members are doctorates or are currently completing doctorates in interactive media.
