Unlocking technology and data through creative approaches, design thinking and interdisciplinary research.
Inspace is part of the Institute for Design Informatics and is a collaborative hub, commissioning and producing creative activity through an ambitious events and exhibitions programme bringing together art, design, technology and research. The aim of our programme is to unlock digital technologies and data and to explore their role in society through a creative lens, supporting creative practitioners and researchers to experiment, and collaborate, and inviting audiences to access, learn about and engage with these topics.
We host events and exhibitions where visitors are invited to explore these tools, technologies and data for themselves through creative displays and artworks, to experience, interact with and debate the challenges and opportunites they present.
We are also home to Inspace City Screens, a unique seven screen street facing projection space visible from Potterrow in Edinburgh. This unique array of seven connected screens and projectors share panoramic digital exhibitions out into the city and inside Inspace. Look out for forthcoming exhibitions via our exhibitions section and/or when you walk past.
