One of our highly talented Art and Design with Creative Technologies students was offered a work placement opportunity with London-based Jason Bruges Studio.
Jason Bruges Studio are renowned for producing innovative installations, inventions and ground-breaking works that sit between the world of architecture, site-specific installation art and interaction design.
Jason Bruges, founder of Jason Bruges Studio, is the Visiting Professor for Art and Design with Creative Technologies. Jason supported and contributed to the design and validation of the course, and has visited the course multiple times, presenting his creative process, running master classes and setting live briefs.
Jason said: “I fully support the approach to cross-disciplinary teaching, using art, design and digital technologies to explore design methodologies. There is a strong emphasis on collaboration, experience and preparing students for future employability – I think this is extremely important.”
Art and Design with Creative Technologies student, Niamh Greene, was given the opportunity of a work placement with Jason’s Studio. Niamh worked alongside the design team on a variety of projects and got to experiment with a range of different lighting materials and technologies.
Niamh said: “Interning at Jason Bruges Studio in London provided valuable hands-on experience of what the Art and Design industry can be like. It allowed me to apply everything that I have learnt over my time at Birmingham City University on the Art and Design with Creative Technologies course, and confirmed that this is the direction I would like to take my career once I have completed my degree."
