Pervasive Media Studio
New website coming soon.
The Pervasive Media Studio, opened by Alistair Darling the Chancellor of the Exchequer in February 2008, will bring together the computing, communication and creative industries to pioneer new forms of digital media.
With collaboration across industry, research, teaching and community, the Studio is a collaboration led by HP Labs and Watershed, with support from the South West Regional Development Agency.
The evolution of the internet with ‘smart’ devices will unlock media from computers, phones, TVs and cinema screens and make it more of an integral and portable part of our daily lives. Designing the experiences and technology for a pervasive media environment will not only require a diverse set of skills and insights but also a collaborative approach to innovation.
Built on the legacy of the Mobile Bristol programme, the Studio is an open innovation platform which brings talent, ideas and research together, offering project development space, a wide variety of events and seminars and a creative learning programme for education and community groups. The Pervasive Media Studio is a unique undertaking which sites world-class research at the heart of the city to stimulate, inform and reinforce the creative economy of the UK and beyond.
The Studio is managed by iShed and will publicly launch in April with a full event, seminar and CPD programme and will continue to develop research and community projects.
