First Friday is a monthly social and showcasing event open to anyone. It takes place in the Pervasive Media Studio every First Friday of each month (except for January and August), offering a chance to connect with others and experience  a selection of work from our Studio community.

About Pervasive Media Studio

Pervasive Media Studio hosts an international community of over 200 artists, companies, technologists, and academics exploring experience design and creative technology. We are a space for risk taking and early ideas; for the kind of projects and questions that inhabit the meeting points of art, technology, and society.

Our projects span play, robotics, location-based media, food, connected objects, interactive documentary, new forms of performance and more.

We have an open plan studio with a culture if generosity, curiosity, and interruptibility. We believe that by clustering people together from a broad range of backgrounds, with differing skills, experience, and opinions, all of our ideas become better.

Access information

First Friday takes place in the Pervasive Media Studio Event Space. To access the Studio, please go to the Box Office entrance and go upstairs to the Café & Bar. Walk across the Café & Bar, turn right and walk towards the double doors. Go through into the corridor and walk all the way down until you reach the Studio.
