Project summary
The Centre for the Study of the Networked Image is part of London South Bank University and brings together a group of researchers who are seeking new knowledge and understanding of how network and computational culture has and is changing the production and reception of art and photography. This partnership offers a collaborative supervisory team, including Professor Andrew Dewdney at London South Bank University and Dr.Annet Dekker at Amsterdam University, as well as working alongside Tate professionals.
The research seeks to understand and potentially resolve problems closely associated with the preservation and archiving of born-digital artworks, which are not single objects but assemblages that change and sometimes mutate over time, or lack clearly definable boundaries. The studentship offers the opportunity to develop a practice-based doctoral research project focused on Tate’s collection which will establish new understandings of the relationship between the technical and cultural coding of software, and methods through which new works are made accessible.
Funding information
The studentship includes a fee waiver, a UKRI rated scholarship and yearly allowance for travel/material. To be eligible for consideration for a scholarship you must be a UK resident/citizen.
