First Friday

First Friday is a monthly social and showcasing event open to anyone. It takes place in the Pervasive Media Studio every First Friday throughout the year except for August and January. As well as the chance to socialise in the Pervasive Media Studio, attendees joining the event will also get to see a selection of work by some of our Studio community.

This month we're sharing the projects from Make Shift Camp 2025, our five-day creative camp for working class people aged 18–30. It was an exciting opportunity bringing together people interested to explore, play with technology, and build new ideas and prototypes. Our theme for this year’s camp was 'Home Improvements,' part of a year long theme at Watershed where we are exploring the idea of Home. 

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. It's 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.

The 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 of 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.
