Since the early nineteen-nineties Paul Sermon’s practice-based research in the field of contemporary media art has centred on the creative use of telecommunication technologies.
“First and foremost I consider myself a creative practitioner and therefore my teaching is as much my creative practice as are my practice-based research projects.”

3. The hospital proclaimed the project as the
Collaboration
The hospital proclaimed the project as the
"UKs foremost and innovative NHS projects. The Teleporter Zone was created for children, to interact and perform in a virtual environment, whilst at the same time it would distract them and their families from the stress and worry that is caused from being in hospital”.
The Teleporter Zone is situated in the ground floor of The Evelina Children’s Hospital, known as Ocean

This collaborative partnership between Paul Sermon and Charlotte Gould resulted in an interactive ludic interface that was first developed for the BBC ‘Village Screen’ (public urban video screen) at the Glastonbury Festival in 2009.
‘Picnic on the Screen’
Following its success at the Glastonbury Festival 2009, Picnic on the Screen was invited to link public audiences between the Bluecoat Gallery Liverpool and the University of Shanghai, for the first time via a telematic videoconference connection, as part of Liverpool Biennial 2010.

9. I strongly believe in teaching art and design through creative experiences and this practice-based research-informed teaching often directly involves my students in both the conceptual development and public exhibition of such projects. 
The Future!
Wanting to strive to teach at all levels, from first year undergraduate students to postgraduate taught masters and the supervision of PhD students.
