Design, culture and creative arts research group

The design, culture and creative arts research group possesses a blend of disciplines and diversity of approaches to the arts, design and creative thinking.

Work by Simon McKeownDesigners, animators, art and design theorists, performing artists, fine art practitioners and new media researchers facilitate debate, discourse and collaboration through practice as research. Research active staff foster individual initiatives, embrace collaborative inter and multidisciplinary working and nurture creative links with external bodies.

Key research themes include:

  • emerging practices and impacts in digital media, film and the moving image
  • the correlation between author and film, between current events and memory, between authenticity and dramatization in emerging creative narratives.

The IDCA research seminars provide a forum for the dissemination of new research with a broad cross section of speakers from practising artists and academics to representatives from the creative industries including international visiting speakers.
