Dr. Declan Tuite

Declan’s research follows two main strands; responsive media installation based work which is often blended with and inspired by research grounded in social science/digital anthropology.
Declan contributes to key communications studies avenues and has presented regularly at IAMCR, ECREA and IADIS. While he has published both journal articles and book chapters, he also produces practice based work that has led him to being invited to exhibit at Brighton Digital Festival, DRHA, ISSTA, ECREA and Ubimus along with being the artistic director for DRHA in Dublin for the 2015 conference.
His current practice based research Ciúnas - investigates spatial audio/music and materiality through choral pieces he composed which have been recorded in studio in order to be played back and re-recorded in locations with distinctive acoustics and thematic/narrative links. So far these have been publicly exhibited through VR/headsets via ambisonics and in an octophonic concert setting
