To start on 1 October 2018 In 2017 Northern Bridge Doctoral Training Partnership (NBDTP) and Northumbria-Sunderland Consortium in Art and Design (N-SC) jointly secured 12 awards, funded by the AHRC. This year we have secured 4 more studentships, this time with a specific in interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data-Driven research, in relation to the Creative Industries. At the University of Sunderland, we are offering exciting opportunities to research with a combination of two partners: ISIS Arts (http://www.isisarts.org.uk) and Open Data Institute: Julie Freeman and Hannah Redler Hawes ( https://theodi.org & https://culture.theodi.org) have been applying the highest levels of critical and analytical approaches by international artists, to systems of data, and the affordances of generative software (Artificial Intelligence), from the edges of Europe to semi-sentient crisp dispensers. This partnership could therefore support research including public events, new economic and policy models (ODI was originally funded by the Cabinet Office), and a critical approach to the metrics used for evaluating audiences and arts organisations. Application and procedure details are available from the web site above. FRI 11 MAY 5:00pm deadline for contacting [email protected] with initial interest.
