We are delighted to welcome our 2016 New Talent Residents to the Studio community: Jono Sandilands, Tenaya Steed and One Five West (Sophie Bullock and Anna Horton Cremin). This week, we are taking the opportunity for them to introduce themselves, their work and their plans for the residency.

Fresh from MA Printmaking at UWE, Jono Sandilands is a graphic artist making artwork layered with digital technology. Playable Prints is a crossover of traditional printmaking and embedded digital media, interactivity and gaming.

Tenaya Steed works as a multidisciplinary artist to tell true stories about everyday people. Her project ‘National treasure hunt’ uses creative technologies to search for stories of cultural heritage in England’s fading steel towns, starting with Scunthorpe: the most unsearchable town on the internet.

Sophie Bullock and Anna Horton Cremin make up artist duo One Five West. They will be taking their interactive artworks into the public realm, turning the passer-by into performer though a mixture of physical and digital play.

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 studio@watershed.co.uk to book your place on a tour.
