i-DAT Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation:
i-DAT is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organization and a Lab for creative research, experimentation and innovation located in Plymouth University. Established in 1998 i-DAT continues to provide a platform for a interactions with practicing artists, arts organisations and cross sector industries. Its creative and technical productions build on a strong practice based research ethos to engage new audiences and develop new art forms. i-DAT is constituted as an ACE NPO, under the governance of Plymouth University and the organisational requirements of ACE. http://www.i-dat.org.

i-DAT management is constituted as: Director of Operations, B Aga, with a broad range of experience of open innovation through Future Lab, Pervasive Media Studios and Lotto Lab; Director of Research, Prof Mike Phillips, an expert in transmedia publishing and digital art; Technical Producer, Dr Simon Lock, software artist and data visualisation; Creative Producer, Gianni Corino, an interaction design and Internet of Things specialist.

i-DAT has developed an enhanced technological infrastructure and a comprehensive ‘ToolBox’ to support creative production and consumption. This includes a range of network and web technologies which explore the volatile relationships between publishing and broadcasting and the emergence of new forms such as pervasive media and the Internet of Things. This initiative is supported by IBM Smarter Planet Sponsorship and provides interactions with industrial initiatives such as the Technology Strategy Board IoT SIG. i-DAT’s programme is driven through a series of ‘Operating Systems’ to harvest and manifest ‘data’ from: architecture (Arch-OS.com), bodies (Bio-OS.org), communities (S-OS.org) and the environment (Eco-OS.org). i-DAT manages a 40 seat Immersive Vision Theatre (IVT), a transdisciplinary instrument for the manifestation of material, immaterial and imaginary worlds. The ‘Full Dome’ architecture houses a powerful high-resolution digital ‘fish eye’ projector and unique audio system. Through this i-DAT is a partner and co-founder of the UK Festival: http://www.fulldome.org.uk/
