Just to make you all aware of some research which I am running with Tim Long (Digital Arts and Culture) and Bryan Hawkins (MA Fine Art) which is all about art and technology collaborations between the Departments of Media and Art and will have an effect on Digital Media over the coming year.

The aim of the collaborative research is to develop innovative creativity in media and art which experiments with and makes connections between new and established creative technologies through the creation of online material, exhibitions, art works, performances, workshops, events etc.

This research is about two months along its projected timeline of a year and a half. So far exhibitions in the Carey Building (Broadstairs) and Powell Building (Canterbury) have been set up along with a website documenting the progress of the research (what its all about) and a flickr account showing photographs of research and work in progress. The website is open to comments, particularily from students, who can feed into what we are doing, why and what the end result will be so please don’t hesitate and next year there will be events such as workshops where we will introduce you to the ideas and technologies we have researched and how they can be used.
