Body, Space & Technology (BST) is a leading journal of contemporary artistic practice and research
and joined the OLH platform in Summer 2017. Since it launched in 2000, BST has built a strong
reputation for scholarly quality and innovation, as well as fostering a global academic community
around its published content. BST publishes research into artistic practice that engages with digital
technologies, particularly as these relate to bodily interaction and creativity, and in multi-disciplinary
perspectives. The journal is led by an Editorial Board of international experts.
At BST we are responsive to new artistic developments guided by artists’ own reflections on events
and the directions they choose to take. The Journal welcomes international readership and
contributions from artists and academics from all over the world. We remain committed to being an
open access publication and support innovation and experimentation in the Arts, in whatever form it
takes or processes from which it arises. We invite readers to be stimulated by the Journal and hope it
encourages submissions that will surprise and perhaps even lead to unexpected instances of research
and creativity.
