Welcome to D-MARC!

D-MARC is the Digital and Material Arts Research Centre at the University of Derby.  Through this dynamic website you will be able to follow on-going visual arts research projects, delve into our archive, dialogue with researchers and keep in touch with our news and forthcoming events.

 Here at D-MARC the focus of our research is on an understanding of the shifting boundaries and new relationships between traditional arts disciplines, which have been created by new technologies. We explore the creative potential of hybrid forms made possible by digitalisation, and are also concerned to develop theoretical and pedagogic understandings capable of keeping pace with, and informing, technological developments.

Prof. John Goto
Director of D-MARC
