…..for this to work, traditional structures such as peer review may need to be reformed, according to Karen Cham, Director of Digital Media Kingston, a cross-faculty studio producing research and art at Kingston University.

Rylance sympathises with Cham’s view: “Peer review tends to be conservative rather than adventurous, so we’re looking at that.”
