Course Description
The convergence of arts and technology is not new, but the opportunities for artists and technologists working in artistic domains have long encountered difficulties in finding appropriate ways to 'measure' artistic practice in 'practice-based research' terms. This is the only programme in the University of London in which students can include creative work and an arts-based context of their practice within the distinctive field of arts and creative technologies. The aim of this programme is to support doctoral students in their creation of new forms of artistic expression, and in their invention of new technologies that help make the art form possible. We therefore expect you to take a completely novel and personal path of exploration. This path will be determined by the shifts you make between artistic, technical, practical, conceptual and theoretical domains in relation to your own unique vision. Research training is provided both by the Department of Computing and the Graduate School. You will have two supervisors (one from arts practice, and one from computer science), and can attend weekly PhD research seminars where students can present their findings to peers and staff; you are expected to give two presentations per year. You also present your work at College level through interdisciplinary Graduate School seminars and at Spring Review week. We have established a forum with the Creativity and Cognition studios at the University of Technology, Sydney for characterising practice situated across arts and computational technology, which offers the potential for collaborative research.
