Join us to experience the exciting work produced by the Pervasive Media Studio's resident artists. In a shifting media landscape finding time and resources to explore ideas augmented by new technologies can be tricky. The Pervasive Media Studio Artists Residencies were set-up as a direct response to this challenge, creating a 'safe space' for artistic development in a peer-led arena.

This event will celebrate and share the work of artists Becca Gill and Jay Kerry working in collaboration as Mercurial Wrestler; and Hazel Grian: commissioned by Watershed to develop ideas at the juncture of art, pervasive technologies and culture. It will include presentations and installations by the artists, followed by an in conversation / Q&A session with Watershed’s Head of Programme, Mark Cosgrove, and Pervasive Media Studio's Head of Research, Phil Stenton. 

When: Wednesday 9th June, 6.30pm

Where: Watershed, Bristol

Watch artists Becca and Jay talk about their research project to recreate the magical illusions of the turn of the last century using modern day pervasive media technologies over on DShed: http://www.dshed.net/content/magic-jay-and-becca-interview



Watch Hazel Grian talk about Daemon, a person’s inner self-made visible in the physical world. Daemon is not just a robot or a pet; it knows your character, responds to your thoughts and follows your physical actions: http://www.dshed.net/daemon
