For the Art of Storytelling in New Media
Crucible Studio, a research group within Media Centre Lume and the Department of Media of the Aalto University School of Art and Design, studies and develops narration of the digital, non-linear and interactive media. Our goal is to achieve deeper emotional experiences in the interactive media and to create production methods to develop content and technology simultaneously in the multi-talented teams of artists, designers, scientists and technology experts.
Modes of Action
Our activities are divided into three sectors:
1. Practise Based Research productions combine state-of-the-art expertise of design, drama, and technology. Productions are developed as applied research cases with industrial partners.
2. Education that combines expertise and resources of the different departments within the Aalto University, as well as other universities and research institutions.
3. Coordinating and Networking maps the development of the research, education and production of the interactive drama on an international scale and brings together professionals of the multidisciplinary fields in collaborations and joint events.
