Experiment with video, digital art, installation, painting, drawing, sculpture, and their many hybrids. Our purpose-built studios include a digital art lab, installation spaces and fully equipped workshops.

What areas of Digital Media will I study?

Developments in digital technology range from overly friendly chatbots to inconspicuous algorithms. But what role do digital media technologies play in our everyday lives, our local communities and cultures, and the global societies we live in?

Our team carries out world-leading research into a wide range of fascinating topics, from artificial intelligence and algorithmic cultures to fandom, sustainability, media activism, gender and sexualities, and more. Our academics consult on key policy debates and bring their expert knowledge into their teaching.

You will learn how digital technologies, in their many forms, function in our everyday lives and the global societies we live in. Through exploring key themes in digital societies, such as social media, digital creativity, artificial intelligence, algorithmic power and surveillance, you will discover how these themes present both opportunities and challenges within our everyday lives and the creative industries.

Your final Digital Media project allows you to pursue your own intellectual interests and creative passion through a piece of original research, and to communicate your conclusions via your choice of media, such as a website, a podcast, a music video, journalistic interviews or a social media campaign.

What opportunities are there to gain professional experience at Lancaster University?

Throughout the course you will have networking opportunities, lectures and workshops with professional artists and industry experts, and field trips. We organise bespoke careers’ sessions on employment opportunities in the arts, media and creative sectors, and we have recently run workshops with journalists from the BBC and podcasting masterclasses.

Gaining professional experience is important, and previous students have worked with arts organisations such as Deco Publique, Good Things Collective, FACT Liverpool, and Lancaster Arts. Tutors draw on a wealth of experience in exhibiting, curating and writing including high profile residencies and commissions in museums, galleries and cultural industries worldwide. They have exhibited at institutions such as the Henry Moore Institute, the Foreman Art Gallery Canada and Hong Kong Art Fair.

You will have opportunities to exhibit your art throughout the course, enabling you to develop the professional skills needed for a career in the arts whilst building your confidence in your work and your own distinct and independent style.

You can extend your creative experience by getting involved with our student media societies which include a television station, a newspaper, a radio station and a cinema. Take a backroom role in marketing, social media or content creation – or try live presenting, if you dare!

core modules accordion

Transformations in Digital Media

Digital media both displaces and complements ‘traditional’ media, in ways that complicate the current media landscape and challenge some of our most fundamental media concepts.?This module explores how this happens through the integration of “old” and “new” media and ongoing transformations in the media industries.

We examine how relations between consumers and producers are changing as the boundaries of media cultures are shifting, producing intercultural exchange but also fragmentation and radicalisation.?This module invites students to investigate their everyday digital media use and reflect on the expansion of digital media, its potentials and its pitfalls.

Creative Attention

A transformational module that introduces you to Fine Art studies at undergraduate level. Focussing on how artists investigate the world through looking, listening, touch, gesture and mark-making, you will explore a range of diverse media such as drawing, painting, video and sound.

Through innovative practical workshops, you will develop curiosity, sustained attentiveness and creative enquiry, whilst discovering new materials, techniques and processes. You will learn key photographic and digital skills, essential for documenting and presenting your work.

These skills will help you develop new ways of thinking that will broaden your understanding of contemporary fine art and prepare you for the Contemporary Art Practices module with growing confidence.

AI, Media and Creativity

Does AI kill creativity or encourage it? Or how do emerging media transform the meaning of creative expression? What kinds of histories of media forms and cultures are informing current digital media and where can we spot their forgotten predecessors?

While public debate alternates between celebrating and lambasting the impact of digital media and AI on creativity, this module introduces you to various aspects of this complex and evolving relationship. You will explore the distinctiveness of media forms as well as their social and cultural contexts, taking an interdisciplinary journey that brings together different approaches, offered to you by a team of experts from across the School of Arts. You’ll explore a range of themes and theories such as:

AI, creative labour and community

AI and ethics

Open media and creative ownership

AI in art

Histories of media as form

Sci-fi, imagination, and speculation

Digitally-mediated creativity

Applying a cultural lens, you will explore the role of social groups such as creative workers, artists, users, and fans in the context of digital media, machine learning and generative AI. Applying a media-theoretical lens to media forms, you’ll explore topics such as “small AI,” media art, and evolving media forms and ecologies.

Drawing on both approaches, you will learn how not to take media for granted but appreciate their open-ended futures and the role of imagination and speculation in their formation.

Optional

optional modules accordion

Art Histories and Contexts

Providing you with a solid grounding in art history, this module will take you on a journey, from the modernist period to the present day.

Beginning with the emergence of Modernism in Europe, you will follow its impact in the United States, China, India, South America and beyond. You will learn about alternative and under-represented histories that challenge mainstream thought, whilst exploring how artists have responded to pressing societal issues such as:

Post-colonialism

Equal rights

Gender identity

Digital revolution

Environmental crisis

These movements will be explored through a range of themes that relate to creative practices such as time, space, light, text and juxtaposition, helping you develop your ability to write for a range of art contexts.

Screens and Selves

Media do not just reflect identities, but play an active role in bringing them into being. In this module, you will consider the role our screens – in all their many forms – play in producing our sense of self and the world around us. From selfies and avatars to being the subjects of film or advertisements, our ‘mediated selves’ cannot be avoided.

How do we use media to represent and transmit a sense of ourselves to others? In what ways does self-representation allow us to assume and feel agency in our lives, and to connect with other selves? What does it mean to be shaped by media culture? You will critically engage with various media forms to understand their influence on identity formation and societal perceptions.

Thinking Digital Worlds

This module provides you with the conceptual tools to think critically about how digital worlds operate. It opens up fundamental questions about how digital technologies produce worlds:

How do digital technologies and infrastructures organize and govern nearly all domains of life, from education, finance, and health care to security and war?

How do digital technologies provide particular ways of seeing such domains through datafied and algorithmic framings, configuring certain problems, risks, and opportunities?

Who or what is in control in a digital world?

What kinds of lives are normalized and what kinds of lives are becoming marginalized or impossible?

On this module you will explore a range of approaches such as the social study of science and technology (STS) as well as media theory, digital media studies, and the cultural studies of design. You'll learn that technologies shape social relations and practices in specific ways, both enabling and constraining.

The module also aims to spark your creativity to think about alternatives: What other socio-technical worlds are possible?

Designing Media Research

This module aims to prepare you for the final year of study, when you conduct your own personal research project. You will be guided through the skills and techniques needed to design, execute, present, and reflect upon academic research.

This includes how to:

formulate research questions

how to write literature reviews

how to choose appropriate methodologies and datasets

how to interpret data

how to conduct ethical academic research

Art Theories and Contexts

Building on the relationship between theoretical understanding and artistic practice, this module will introduce you to a broad range of theories and ideas relevant to contemporary art practice and thinking. You will explore ideas such as:

New materialism

Fourth and fifth-wave feminisms

Object-oriented philosophy

Posthumanism

The Anthropocene

Hauntology

The relations that exist between art and science

Join us as we combine intellectual rigour and curiosity with the freedom to confidently explore your creativity from an increasingly informed position. You will be encouraged to explore different forms of writing that enable you to develop ideas and express yourself in a range of appropriate formats.

Creative Transformations

Imagination, experimentation, creative risk-taking, and transformation are at the heart of this module and fundamental to your development as a practicing artist.

You will engage creatively with workshops that encourage experimentation and risk-taking, exploring ideas and processes that extend beyond traditional studio practice including collaborative, site-specific, socially engaged, and curatorial projects.

Exploring diverse themes such as the environment and sustainability, global connections and local place, you will dive into the transformative role of art in the wider world. Developing digital skills relevant to these contexts will equip you to create innovative and forward-thinking approaches to contemporary art.

Digital Cultures

This module explores how digital technologies, in their multiple forms, figure in our everyday lives and the global societies we live in. This includes social media platforms, search engines, publicly available artificial intelligence chatbots as well as the multitude of apps that mediate every aspect of our lives, from access to news and information to dating, food and consumption, education, and professional life.

We will analyse the affordances of digital technologies in connection to questions of power, context, and embodiment. This module will stimulate you to start seeing how media and technology do more than transmitting messages and information. Instead, they have an ontological role in shaping social relations, subjectivities, practices and cultures.

Attuning you to this role, this module allows you to understand media as much more than simply channels of representation or communication. The assessments in this module give you plenty of space to articulate your own experiences in everyday life to the theoretical literature and conceptual frameworks that you are introduced to in this module.

Visual Cultures

Our everyday lives are saturated by images of all kinds. This module will introduce you to some key ‘ways of seeing’ our world of images. We will explore questions such as:

How are images made, who gets to produce them and, importantly, from whose point of view?

How do pictures circulate?

How do viewers read and interpret images?

Who gets to look and through whose eyes?

How do these processes and practices relate to power?

We’ll consider these questions in relation to a range of media texts, from photographs and advertisements to television and film.

Advanced Art Practices

Refine your practical skills as you develop and present a professional body of practical work appropriate for a Fine Art degree show.

Over the course of this year-long module, your growth as an artist will be supported through lectures, workshops, tutorials, and peer reviews, all guided by tutors who are practicing artists and writers. You will also build a strong foundation in professional practices and transferable skills essential for a successful career in the arts.

Through deepening your understanding of your own practice, the art world, curation, and the transformative power of creativity, you will be prepared to contribute meaningfully to local, national, and global artistic discourses and practices.

You can also choose to take additional credits in either Advanced Art Practice or Writing for Artists, enabling you to build on your strengths, interests, and career aspirations.

Media Independent Project

In this module, you will undertake an in-depth study on a topic of your own choice. The module is designed as a culmination of your learning journey on the programme, and to undertake the research, you will draw on the knowledge you have gained throughout your studies. You are expected to conduct your final project independently, with the support of an allocated academic supervisor, and will demonstrate skills in designing, planning, managing, and producing a substantial piece of work. The final project may focus on academic literature, empirical research, or incorporate elements of media practice.

Audiences, Fans and Participatory Cultures

How has the experience of being part of a media audience transformed in recent years? How do we make sense of being a fan nowadays? In what ways do fan culture and audience community manifest social transformations on both local and global scales? This module aims to provide you with a critical understanding of fandom and audiences in a global and transnational context. The module will focus on issues such as participation, pleasure, performance, and power by investigating fan culture and audience communities of a wide range of transmedia texts in a global perspective. You are encouraged to analyse the multi-layered dynamics between individual fan, fan community, audience participation, media texts, and industries through interdisciplinary lenses, for example, feminist studies, queer studies, and postcolonial studies.

Media Industries

In this module, you’ll delve into the structure, function, and evolution of ‘traditional’ and digital media industries, ranging from journalism and consumer industries to streaming services and online content creation. You will consider the economic, cultural, and technological forces driving these industries, and their societal impact. You’ll debate the role of media regulation and policy in shaping the ever-changing media industries today.

This year-long module provides extended space and support for your growth as an artist.

You will be supported through lectures, workshops, tutorials, and peer reviews, all guided by tutors who are practicing artists and writers. You will also build a strong foundation in professional practices and transferable skills essential for a successful career in the arts.

The Making of Media and AI Futures

What will our digital future look like?

How could AI transform global societies?

What media will we watch, listen to, wear, be tracked by, or collaborate with – whether in smart cities, virtual workplaces, or even in outer space?

These are the big questions that this module will explore, addressing how past visions of technological futures inform the speculative digital landscapes we imagine today. This module examines the social, cultural, and political implications of these technologies, addressing issues such as personalisation, surveillance, platform governance, and digital inequalities. You will explore critical debates on issues such as automation, data governance, digital labour, and ethics while reflecting on the future of digital media in everyday life.

Mediating the Body

‘The body’ is a key site of both control and resistance in media culture. This module explores how media representations, cultural norms, and societal structures shape perceptions of the body, identity, and agency. Thinking about body politics through an intersectional lens, you’ll critically examine issues like gender, sexuality, race, disability, class, and body type, unravelling the intricate connections between media and the lived experience of the body. We’ll think about what kinds of bodies fit social and cultural norms, how these norms are circulated and embedded in the public imaginary, and whether bodies can be re-imagined as sites of resistance.
