Creative Media Practice Research Insights

About Creative Media Practice Research Insights

Welcome to Creative Practice Research Insights, a podcast exploring the intersections where art, research, and media-making meet. Drawing inspiration from seminar-based conversations, each episode delves into themes central to practice-led research in creative media, investigating what it means to make, reflect, and theorise in the contemporary media arts landscape. We’ll be exploring topics such as: How early‑career researchers articulate their creative practice as part of academic work (process, reflection, theorisation) Relationships between practical media work (audio, video, installation, performance) and critical theory Innovation in media techniques, technologies, and modes of production The social, cultural and ethical dimensions of creative media (inclusion, equity, environment, community) Interdisciplinary and experimental approaches: crossing boundaries, embracing uncertainty, embodiment, collaborative methods Each episode aims to offer insight both for those already embedded in creative media practice research, and for practitioners curious about how theory and practice can inform one another.
