About the School

The School of Arts and Creative Industries at London South Bank University offers access to excellent film, music and games studio facilities, including research labs in Volumetric Capture and Virtual Production at our Elephant Studios centrally positioned near London’s Southbank, and Virtual Production and Green Screen at Maidstone Studios in Kent.

The school of ACI has collaborations with arts and creative organisations in London and across the South East of England such as the BFI, UK Music, The Rose Theatre, Victoria and Albert Museum, and with cultural networks such as South East Creative Economy Network CreativeEstuary, and the Thames Estuary Production Corridor, while our 6.1m European Regional Development Funded Hi3 Network is developing a network of researchers and small to medium-sized businesses across London, Essex, Kent, and East Sussex to undertake research in creative technologies with partners Canterbury Christ Church University, Screen South, Maidstone Studios, and Creative Folkestone.

Scholarship Call 2: CSNI are seeking proposals that encourage critical attention to developing forms of cultural automation through the application of AI in communication technologies. Of overriding interest is the question of what part do computational networks and the training of machine vision algorithms play in shaping the ways in which the world is seen and how we acquire knowledge and understanding of ourselves and society.

We are seeking proposals which investigate any of the following: vernacular image practices; online video practices, onboard image software; online collections; image databases, imaging labelling and image taxonomies. Proposals can involve fieldwork, practice-as-research and discursive methodologies.
