Martyn delivers a range of theory and practice modules across all levels of LSFM undergraduate and postgraduate programs, specialising in digital media, film theory and multi-camera production.

Martyn is an active researcher of critical media theory, digital culture and networked technologies and has contributed to several international academic conferences and symposiums. He is particularly interested in developments to ‘media studies’ and ‘media education’ in the 21st Century, exploring the creative potential of digital technologies and emerging forms of participatory media culture, alongside the pedagogic and ethical challenges they represent. His research explores entanglements of media theory with media arts practice, and entanglements of media technologies with everyday life. Much of Martyn’s research draws from non-representational, non-media centric and transversal approaches to media analysis, questioning the notion of agency and affect in the context of digital media environments. This work addresses the role of technological processes and assemblages in the operations of power, labour and subjectivity within contemporary networked societies.

He is a founding member of the co_LAB Research Network, which experiments with digital media and hybrid pedagogies to support collaborative modes of creative innovation. co_LAB projects typically utilise practice-based research methods to facilitate interdisciplinary student partnerships and communities of practice that respond to critical issues in contemporary culture. co_LAB is focussed on exchanging knowledge and skills across a network of European partner universities.
