for October 2014*

Research at DCRC <http://dcrc.org.uk> seeks to create new knowledge 
about creative media applications in real world contexts, and about 
everyday life in today’s digital media ecology. Centre researchers 
pursue a dynamic interdisciplinary agenda through a unique mix of 
criticality, creativity and application.

The DCRC is a leading centre for research into interactive and 
participatory documentary and home to the i-Docs Symposium 
<http://i-docs.org> and community. The Centre hosts the AHRC Creative 
Territories Video Games Research Network 
<http://creativeterritories.dcrc.org.uk/> and is publisher of the 
Pervasive Media Cookbook. <http://pervasivemediacookbook.com/>

DCRC is a partner in the west of England’s leading media innovation lab, 
The Pervasive Media Studio <http://www.watershed.co.uk/pmstudio/> and is 
located in a unique environment in Bristol’s Harbourside where 
designers, artists and engineers share expertise to produce new 
experiences for media audiences.

We are interested in supporting doctoral research which addresses the 
practices and social meanings of emerging media. The Centre’s current 
research priorities are interactive, participatory, pervasive and 
locative media and themes of digital citizenship, co-creation, value, 
games and the “Playable City”.
