Hi List


A funded PhD opportunity that may be on interest



*Fully Funded PhD studentship: New Media Art in the Data-City*

The Dublin Institute of Technology in conjunction with the Graduate School
of Creative Arts and Media (GradCAM) invites application for a fully funded
PhD studentship in the area of practice based New Media Art.


*Project Description *

The contemporary city exists in a haze of code and is characterised by
extensive sensor networks, formal and informal, that capture all aspects of
urban life as data. The city as data-space is subject to regimes of
algorithmic governance that evade public scrutiny even as they produce the
space of the city in a Lefebvrian sense. This call asks how critical new
media art practices and interdisciplinary collaborations, that engage with
the networked data assemblages of the emergent smart city, can serve to
make legible the opaque algorithmic processes of can be termed the
data-city. Can novel methodologies for critical engagement with this
data-city be developed and what insights will they offer into new forms of
publicness contingent on these networked data assemblages.

This call seeks proposals that explore interdisciplinary and collaborative
responses to these issues coming from practice-based artistic research, new
media and sound art practices, contemporary art, urban studies, code
studies, and interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary permutations of the
above. It is envisaged that responses could be aesthetic, technical,
activist or theoretical in nature or interdisciplinary combinations of the
above.

*Scholarship*

A scholarship of ?14,500 per year for a maximum of 4 years, subject to
annual evaluation. Tuition fees will be paid. Non-EU applicants are
eligible to take up the scholarships however they will be required to fund
the fee differential.

*Supervisory team*

Dr Conor McGarrigle and Dr Noel Fitzpatrick DIT.
