Creative Media – Research
Widespread access to digital media, the internet, mobile phones and the continual expansion of computing power with a parallel miniaturisation of media technologies have led to profound changes in social interactions from the interpersonal to the global.
Researchers in the School of Creative Media are amongst Australia’s top artists, filmmakers, writers, photographers, designers and new media practitioners who have grasped these technologies as they become available and, through their research projects, are transforming the films, music, visual art, design and literature that make up contemporary culture.
Some are going further. Through the development of individual practice-led research projects and creative collaborations embedded in critical analysis, they are influencing the ongoing transformation of technology itself. Others are utilising a range of new media across artforms, the humanities and/or the sciences to create a complex interdisciplinary practice. This in turn is further developed by a parallel depth of practice-led research based firmly on a 21st century understanding of the central role of the narrative and the power of the image.
It should be noted that artists and designers carrying out research in this School are engaged equally with art and/or industry. This has resulted in a strong research culture in both the Higher Education and TAFE sectors of the School and is reflected in the presence of researchers from both areas working together in discussion groups thus strengthening both.
