Dr Jon Pigott is a Senior Lecturer at Cardiff Metropolitan University's Cardiff School of Art & Design, where he teaches across undergraduate and postgraduate programs while supervising PhD candidates. His academic journey includes a PhD from Bath Spa University (2017) titled Materials, Systems and Autonomy in Electromechanical Sound Art, along with MA and PGCE qualifications, and recognition as a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (fHEA).
Jon's research spans the intersection of art, science, and technology, with specific focus areas in sound art, kinetic sculpture, and Science and Technology Studies (STS). His practice-based approach incorporates digital fabrication and hand-made electronics, reflecting his pre-academic experience as technical manager at Real World Studios where he worked on high-profile music and film projects. His scholarly work demonstrates consistent output from 2019-2025, with recent publications exploring DIY electronics culture, environmental data visualization, arts education, and the conservation of electronic musical instruments.
Analysis of his publication trends reveals a strong interdisciplinary approach that bridges artistic practice with technological innovation and educational applications. His research increasingly incorporates environmental themes and community engagement, particularly evident in recent works examining multi-sensory museum experiences and smart city data visualization. The publications show progression from theoretical explorations of sound art systems toward more applied research with practical implications for education, museum studies, and environmental communication.
Dr Pigott's collaborative work spans multiple disciplines, as evidenced by co-authorship with researchers in education, environmental science, and technology fields. His involvement in exhibition design and curation demonstrates the practical application of his research beyond traditional academic outputs.
