Studio resident Tom Abba is kicking off a two year research project to design and develop a new literary genre, ambient literature, described as "a literary experience responsive to a reader's situation, delivered or mediated by digital technology". Join Tom for a conversation about what ambient literature is, is not and might be. Find out more about the planned projects, activities and opportunities to get involved with this new kind of storytelling.

Ambient Literature is a collaboration between the Universities of the West of England, Bath Spa and Birmingham, and is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm.

Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around just before the talk. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk to book your place on a tour.
