Team
Julie is a researcher at the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM) and the research lead for the Arts, Communication, and Culture Research Community at the University of Westminster. Julie’s work as a practice-based researcher redefines the boundaries of documentary filmmaking, investigating the intricate relationship between art, society and spatial agency. A key innovation in her work is the development of the research methodology "site-integrity" (coined in 2017 as part of her practice-based PhD) featured in the Journal for Artistic Research, Issue 19 (2019). This approach investigates how camera-motorised devices can 'perform' a site through an ethically and culturally informed lens, creating critical experiences for audiences that open debate and question social spaces. In this methodology, the camera actively collaborates with both human and non-human agents to highlight the dynamic, emergent, and relational nature of place. Julie’s research has been shared internationally through site-specific film screenings, conferences, peer-reviewed journals and exhibitions.
Jonny Fuller-Rowell
Jonny is a researcher exploring the convergence of physical and digital realities. His practice combines physical computing, projection mapping, moving image and 3D scanning to interrogate the boundaries between real and virtual environments. A central focus of his work is the design and fabrication of bespoke motorised rigs for “site-integrity” that operate as both recording and playback devices. These machines enable highly precise and repeatable movements, allowing for innovative methods of capturing and presenting mediated experiences. This approach positions technology not merely as a tool, but as an active collaborator in the creation of new experiential languages. His work proposes a step-change in how technology challenges conventional narratives around perception and interaction.
