About

Dr Julia Scott-Stevenson is a researcher, producer and curator of interactive and immersive media. Her current UTS Chancellor’s Fellowship project uses practice-led research to explore how immersive media (virtual, augmented and mixed reality) might address the climate crisis. Julia produced *Privy To*, an XR project exploring privacy rights through using an artist’s brainwaves to compose music, which was one of 14 projects globally to be showcased at CPH:DOX's Inter:Active Exhibition in 2021 and was also presented at Electric Dreams Festival. Julia was previously a research fellow in interactive factual media at UWE Bristol, UK, and in 2019 she was also an immersion fellow on the UK’s South West Creative Technology Network, where she developed a manifesto for virtual futures. Julia has given talks internationally and mentored in XR/VR/AR for Sheffield Doc/Fest, Dok Leipzig, BBC’s New Creatives and EastDoc (Prague). She holds a PhD in interactive documentary and social impact, and has taught at institutions in Australia and the UK.
