Journal for Artistic Research
JAR is a peer-reviewed, biannual journal, whose goal is to publish original research from artists of all disciplines and promote the renegotiation of art's relationship to academia by coupling an innovative approach to publishing with peer-reviewing and scholarly rigor. A free, online resource, the journal aims to display and document practice in a manner that respects artistic modes of presentation. JAR uses the Research Catalogue, which provides a free-to-use online writing space where text can be woven together with image, audio and video material. The result is a journal that promotes experimental approaches to “writing” and provides a unique “reading” experience, while carefully fulfilling the expectations of a peer-reviewed academic journal.
Michael Schwab is a London-based artist and artistic researcher who investigates post-conceptual uses of technology in a photography, drawing, printmaking, and installation art. He holds a M.A. in philosophy (Hamburg University) and a PhD in photography (Royal College of Art, London). He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journal for Artistic Research (JAR), co-editor of Intellectual Birdhouse. Artistic Practice as Research (2012), The Exposition of Artistic Research: Publishing Art in Academia (2013) and Futures of the Contemporary. Contemporaneity, Untimeliness, and Artistic Research (2019), among others. Through a focus on experimentation and the exposition of practice as research, Schwab has developed a conceptual approach that links artistic freedom with academic criticality in support of what has been called the 'practice turn in contemporary theory'.
International Journal of Creative Media Research
An interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed and open access academic journal devoted to pushing forward the approaches to and possibilities for publishing creative media-based research.
Championing artistic experimentation alongside critical rigour and creative reflection, the IJCMR specialises in capturing the emerging tools, approaches and methods of practice-based media arts research. The journal publishes original screen-based, sound-based and experiential forms of creative research, spanning works of film, music, media art, digital writing, curation practice, multi-platform and ludic artefacts that contribute to fields across Media Studies, Communication and Cultural Studies, Art and Design, Music, Creative Writing, Drama, Dance, Performing Arts, Film and Screen Studies, or Education. Submission types span three categories: Single-Piece Explorations; Multi-Piece Portfolios; and Practice Discoveries. See Author Guidelines for more details.

Charlie Tweed is a media artist and practice based researcher who lectures in digital media practice and culture. His performative, digital and video based works have drawn attention to the complex impacts of computational capitalism in terms of resource extraction, ecological destruction and the deployment of digital technologies to manage populations and environment. Currently based at the Bath Spa University, he is the Co-Course Leader of BA Creative Media and the Co-Director of the Centre for Media Research, he leads the Digital Ecologies Research Group in the School of Art, Film and Media.

He has exhibited his works internationally with recent solo shows at public institutions including: The Stanley Picker Gallery, London and Spike Island, Bristol. He has worked on a number of interdisciplinary sci-art projects including a collaborative project with scientist Dr Darren Logan at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge which was funded by a Wellcome Trust Large Arts Award and produced by Animate Projects, London. He recently completed an industrial research fellowships at Bristol University’s Life Sciences and Earth Sciences, developing a new film Notes from the Subsurface (2020).
