Research Sessions 2024-25

i-DAT Research Sessions 2024-25:

Backstory:

The i-DAT and CODEX Research Workshops build on the heritage of a series of practice-based production workshops, seminars and symposia. Workshop methodologies critically and playfully engage with themes, technologies and behaviours which frame the symptoms of individual and collective practices of the i-DAT research community: https://i-dat.org/research/

Our agenda is enhanced by a range of future focused research instruments, such as the Immersive Vision Theatre, Digital Fabrication and Immersive Media Laboratories (DFIML), and the Real Ideas Devonport Market Hall, that blur the boundaries between the physical and the virtual, the real and the imaginary.
