Karen Newman - BONUS CONTENT

In this full interview Karen Newman talks about her journey from artist to Founder and CEO of one of the West Midlands leading immersive arts organisations, Birmingham Open Media. Karen describes her days as an art student and the boundaries that were put in place during her course to differentiate between disciplines.

With a passion to blur the boundaries of creative practice Karen found a new path supporting artists to explore immersive technologies. After setting up BOM, she began working with schools and adults to design and build inclusive training courses so a new generation of artists could learn to use the tools needed in virtual production and games and worked on one of the most high profile technical briefs, designing a smart baton that would tour the countries of the Commonwealth before the games came to Birmingham in 2022.
