About us

Collusion is an incubator for artist-led experimentation with technology that fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, creative innovation, and socially-impactful projects. We're not for profit and an Arts Council England National portfolio Organisation (NPO). Our Directors are Senior Research Fellows within Norwich University of the Arts' Creative Technology Research Institute.

Our driving mission is to explore technology as a medium for artistic and social transformation — empowering artists, connecting communities, and shaping discourse. We collude with artists, cultural organisations, academic institutions, civic organisations, industry and communities, exploring technology's creative potential and its impact on society. Our innovative ART//TECH//PLAY methodology and partnership supports artists across a diversity of backgrounds to develop new practices and skills, access new networks and create artworks that transform public experiences.

Our Values:

  • Practice-led Approach: We prioritise playful, practice-led methodologies in all our endeavours.
  • Curiosity and experimentation: We nurture curiosity-driven R&D, fostering playful experimentation and embracing risk-taking.
  • Collaboration: We believe in playing nicely with others, focusing on mutually beneficial outcomes through collaborative efforts.
  • Open-minded engagement: We engage with individuals, organisations, and places that share our enthusiasm and commitment.
  • Inclusivity: We actively seek to involve diverse voices, extending our reach to those who may not typically engage.
  • Sustainability and hope: We strive to tread lightly on the environment and create pathways of hope for the future of our world.
