Stephen Boyd-Davis

Lansdown Centre for Electronic Arts

Biography

Stephen Boyd Davis has worked and taught in digital media since 1984. At Middlesex University with his colleagues he founded one of the first Masters programmes in the world dealing with interactive media, whose graduates have influenced the field worldwide. Originally a textile designer, Stephen retains an interest in design for pleasure rather than just for utility.

Stephen now runs the Lansdown Centre for Electronic Arts at Middlesex, a research and teaching centre dedicated to interdisciplinary work in digital media. He shares the Centre’s commitment to continuous innovation, but also sets new media practices in wider historical contexts. His aim is to inquire radically into the possibilities of media and technologies, exploiting their special properties to the full.

ABSTRACT

How will future developments in media space shape our understanding of built space?

Media Space? The term Media Space has been used to mean lots of things. Stephen will talk about the escape of media from the confines of rectangular screens like computers and TVs into the spaces where we live. Media are becoming ubiquitous, pervasive, physical, multi-modal and social.
