Gary Peploe

Lecturer in Fine Art & Graphic Design at the University of Salford's School of Arts, Media and Creative Technologies, Gary Peploe is an artist, designer, and curator directing the Interval research collective since 2005. His academic practice integrates creative production with pedagogical innovation through platforms like Loosecollective.

• Master's Degree in Creative Technologies (1997-1998)
• Bachelor's Degree in Interactive Arts (1994-1997)

Research explores artist film & video, video installation, and networked narratives through urban ecologies and dual-screen dialogues. His 2018 Research Archive & Legacy project extends this focus to preservation frameworks, while works like Houndstooth II demonstrate immersive spatial video environments interrogating viewer-perception relationships.

Exhibition trends reveal consistent international engagement across London, Berlin, Manchester, and South Africa, with 15+ outputs between 2002-2015 spanning digital artifacts, performances, and conference contributions. His practice emphasizes temporal constraints (e.g., one-minute films) and cross-cultural exchange, notably through One Minute Volume series curation.

• ZKM Award for media art innovation

As Interval Director, Peploe creates symbiotic knowledge exchange platforms between industry, educators, and students, evidenced by the Costa del Salford model. His 2014 'Fast forward' research identifies disruptive opportunities for micro-enterprises in creative sectors, reflecting active industry engagement beyond traditional academic boundaries.

Leading Interval's non-gallery exhibitions like 'Illumination' in Manchester, Peploe develops research environments centered on blacked-out spatial experiences and alumni collaboration, distinct from conventional laboratory structures.
