Pervasive Media Studio has around 200 Residents exploring creative technology by making work alongside each other. The Resident community is built upon mutual exchange; we ask people to participate actively in an ongoing way.
What does residency offer?
- Connection to other Residents and our wider network of partners with whom you can share ideas as they develop
- Ad-hoc support with business, technology and artistic development (including support to think about climate impact and inclusive practice)
- Free desk space that you can access 7 days a week
- Bookable meeting rooms, workshop space and a small maker space (with some access to equipment)
How to apply?
You can apply to become a Resident at any time, but we review applications once every 3 months. We offer Residencies to approximately 2-3 people per quarter. We keep these numbers quite low to ensure that, as a small team, we are able to fully support our Residents.
Before applying, please carefully consider what being a Resident involves and look at the criteria below. We also advise that you spend some time in the Studio on Fridays first.
We review all Resident applications against the following criteria. The extent to which:
- Your work is exploring the relationship between creativity, technology and society in new or different ways
- You are coming with ideas and/or questions, and an understanding of how you would explore them in practice
- You are likely to benefit from a Residency now, this includes an understanding of what you would both get from and bring to the community
We curate our Resident community to bring together a balance of skills, ideas and experience.
