Research Interests

During his MA in Digital Arts, the practice based research Jon undertook explored the conceptual and practical use of 3D digital software as a medium to construct digital artefacts and installation. Through researching notions within historical immersive spaces combined with digital technologies, he developed a series of immersive digital installations encompassing a physical space.

Current research:

World building: How can creating hybrids of environment design, narrative, and digital art create new perspectives/re-imaginings on how we understand, interpret & access contemporary digital art works within the Virtual/3D environment.
