About the Digital Aquarium

The Digital Aquarium is a research and innovation hub, tailored towards supporting staff and students in exploring new technologies and practices based on industry demands and societal trends.

Materials and sessions are designed to encourage creative exploration and innovation in emerging experiential technologies and practices. These resources are provided in the form of practice-based workshops, online resources, events and active projects that anyone can get involved in.
