What is Digital Creative Practice?

If you have or are developing a digital creative practice, then your application might draw on things like:

  • mobile, console or computer games
  • AR / VR / MR
  • Streaming media – audio or video, this could be live or pre recorded
  • A dedicated website to deliver the work
  • Immersive - audio, video, 180 or 360 video, virtual exhibitions
  • Motion capture
  • Applied artificial intelligence – machine made or machine human interaction
  • Projects that are site specific using geolocation
  • 3d scans
  • Blockchain enabled
  • Interactive – allowing for branching narratives, audience involvement/decision making. Such work may use an interactive platform in a website or devices like smart speakers or mobiles.
  • Arduino or raspberry pi enabled
  • Other new software or hardware that is emerging into the market (i.e. all the things that we don’t know about yet!)
  • Or a mix of any of the above

Some applications will involve novel digital tools or technology that starts from the practice perspective of an established artform and develops a digital project from there. Some projects are digitally native, where your creative practice, or that of other artists you plan to work with, has been developed via a digital practice. Either is fine. Both may require specialist support from digital creative collaborators and/or a producer with a digital skillset.
