Research Interests
A postdigital perspective on 'immersive media' means looking beyond and below specific technologies to redefine immersion and media in times and places of transition–between cultures, species, systems and civilisations. I approach this through investigating and hacking direct experience, beyond language and on a metaphysical level, specifically through sound and other senses, not current limited notions of virtual, augmented or screen-based reality but multiple realities, with a critical perspective and through artistic practice, curation and spatial design.
Biography
Before joining Coventry I launched and ran the Information Experience Design MA programme at the Royal College of Art in London, from 2012-2019, and the Information Environments MRes programme at University of the Arts London in 2011-2012. I maintain an active artistic practice, these days working mainly in sound, drawing and digital art, with exhibitions and commissions since 2000.
