The media industries are going through a period of rapid change. As technologies converge and platforms proliferate, finding time and space to develop projects which capture the imagination becomes even more tricky. The Pervasive Media Studio New Talent Residencies carves out space for brilliant people to make time and take risks as start-ups, artists or researchers.
Do you have an original idea or project which uses wireless, mobile, display or sensor technology? Have you been working on a creative technology application that you would like some time and support to keep developing? The Pervasive Media Studio is offering three month residencies in its unique research space for new talent wanting to develop a pervasive media project.
The Studio’s call for ideas is a unique opportunity open to new talent (recent graduates or people starting out in their careers) who would like to spend time developing a pervasive idea (commercial or creative) in an open and collaborative space. You may have studied media, architecture or fashion, computing, design or performance. The idea could be completely new, or something you have begun to develop already.
We offer: a great location, desk space for three months, meeting rooms, editing facilities, access to advice and guidance from pervasive media experts (from HP Labs, BBC, University of West of England) and most importantly an open and collaborative environment which will help shape your idea.
You must: spend the majority of time during the residency at the studio and be willing to contribute to the community of research by talking about your project, participating in skill swap sessions and helping others with their ideas. You should be very self motivated and well organised.
