pervasive media studio

Hazel Grian

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday. Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do. For a list of upcoming events, click here.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm, usually with a trip to the bar. Let us know if you haven’t been to the Studio before and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to Shirin@pmstudio.co.uk and we will meet you at 12.30pm for a quick tour. We look forward to seeing you soon.
