Map of Intermedia (From: FutureoftheBook.org)
Intermedia Research Studio supports research and art practice that engages the use of new media, environments, sound and performance. Art-based research and artworks may involve newer or older spatial, networked and time-based media such as video, radio, computer technologies or the internet. They may involve performance or discussion, straddle a variety of media, or even fuse media in the creation of new hybrid, intermedia forms.
The Studio has an aptly interdisicplinary theoretical interest in hybridity, liminality and interfaces – the betwixt and between – and in emergence, flow and mobilities. Our programme also hosts reflexive work that explores the social and political implications of research and art practices, technologies, and forms of knowledge that challenge traditional ideas of social science, the art object; including work that is process-driven, participatory or interactive. The Intermedia Research Studio supports the use and critical assessment of new tools, media and methods as well as new modes of distribution and engagment.
