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 1: CTRC are seeking proposals that investigate any of 
the following concerns or sites of investigation:

    Critical, audio-visual interventions on Contemporary Crises
    Marginalised experiences and experiences of the margins
    Globalised, Transnational and Hybrid Subjectivities
    Non-normative Representation and other strategies for addressing 
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
    Explorations of moving image technologies, legacy media, images of 
history and images as history
    Collaborative Modalities and Participatory Practices
    Covering any of the multiplicity of moving image practices 
(fiction, non-fiction, experimental), their crafts or institutions.

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. Proposals can stem from but are not 
limited to the following disciplines: computer science, cultural and 
media studies, museology, art history, art practice, curating, drama and 
performance, anthropology, sociology, and education.
