Venue: Space 4/5, Culture Lab

We present the first 2 day symposium in a 2 year series, in an AHRC 
funded Collaborative Research Training project on research training, 
digital media art and curating. This training initiative is a 
collaboration between Culture Lab Newcastle University, and CRUMB 
University of Sunderland.

The aim of the series is to bring together post-graduate students of 
digital media art practice and curating with specialists in the field 
in order to share research methodologies and enhance the level of cross 
disciplinary understanding. We seek to integrate the specialist 
methodologies of digital media into the wider fields of arts and 
design.

We bring to the table the complete lifecycle of digital media art, from 
education to production to dissemination, exhibition and 
interpretation. This holistic approach is of fundamental importance now 
that digital media art is increasingly accepted in a broader range of 
traditional cultural, institutional, and gallery contexts.

The programme will include presentations by both professional 
specialists and post-graduate students. Outreach will focus on bringing 
students, practitioners, and curators into dialogue to share 
methodologies, knowledge, and experience.

Speakers include:

• Gina Czarnecki, UK: Process and principle in image transformation
 
• Pamela Jennings, Canada/USA: Research or Development Methods?

• Axel Lapp, Germany: Curatorial practice and research

• Donna Leishman, UK: Narrative and Interaction

• Lizzie Muller, Australia via VIDEO LINK: Curating interactive art – 
audiences and archives.

• Paul O'Neill, UK: Curatorial practice and research

There will also be contributions from Newcastle and Sunderland 
Universities staff: Jamie Allen, Sarah Cook, Areti Galani, Verina 
Gfader, Beryl Graham, and Atau Tanaka.

PhD-researcher-led Sessions: Will form important parts of the event, 
including mapping methodologies, and planning the next event. PhD 
researchers from Goldsmiths, Queens University Belfast, University of 
Tokyo, University of Newcastle and University of Sunderland have been 
particularly invited to facilitate these workshops, but all 
postdoctoral researchers and those considering research are welcome to 
get involved.

This event is free of charge, but must be fully booked online. For full
