DCRC - Digital Cultures Research Centre

Week 131 of the activities of the DCRC consisted of the design practices of students and alumin as part of the BBC Fusion pilot, the discussion of interactive documentary and the beginnings of recruitment for a new professor. 131 is also a prime number in many weird and wonderful registers.

DCRC researcher Dan Dixon is leading a design ethnography project working with both Punchdrunk, a London based immersive theatre company, and MIT Media Lab's Future of the Opera Group. Punchdrunk and MIT were funded by NESTA's Digital R&D fund to create a mixed-reality, online version of their New York production of Sleep No More.
