Human-Robot Experience: diversifying social relationships with robots. This Fellowship aims to diversify social relationships with robots by rethinking how a robot becomes a social agent. The project seeks to generate new knowledge in human-robot interaction through an interdisciplinary arts-led approach, bringing together creative robotics, performance techniques and participatory design. Outcomes will include innovative methods for knowledge transfer that engage stakeholders in the design of ' ....Human-Robot Experience: diversifying social relationships with robots. This Fellowship aims to diversify social relationships with robots by rethinking how a robot becomes a social agent. The project seeks to generate new knowledge in human-robot interaction through an interdisciplinary arts-led approach, bringing together creative robotics, performance techniques and participatory design. Outcomes will include innovative methods for knowledge transfer that engage stakeholders in the design of 'robot-assisted living and working' to promote greater quality and diversity. This research has potential for significant social impact by engaging the public in social robot design. Promoting co-production of knowledge across academic, public and industry sectors will significantly benefit Australia’s robotics industry.Read moreRead less

DomeLab: an ultra-high resolution experimental fulldome. DomeLab - an ultra-high resolution experimental fulldome: This project will establish the first ultra-high resolution (4000 x 4000 pixels) experimental fulldome in Australia (DomeLab). This fulldome facility will provide a powerful immersive dome-based video projection environment. Partners will work collaboratively across three themes: interactive media, future museology and experimental humanities.

DomeLab - an ultra-high resolution experimental fulldome: This project will establish the first ultra-high resolution (4000 x 4000 pixels) experimental fulldome in Australia (DomeLab). This fulldome facility will provide a powerful immersive dome-based video projection environment. Partners will work collaboratively across three themes: interactive media, future museology and experimental humanities. Through the national research services AARNet and Intersect's research data storage infrastructure, DomeLab will extend pioneering research in aesthetic frameworks and frontier technologies to benefit artistic, cultural, museological and humanities researchers. DomeLab is designed as a touring system and will be installed throughout the country at leading institutions. Read moreRead less
Narrative reformulation of museological data: the coherent representation of information by users in interactive systems. The proposed research seeks to provide Australia with a long-term opportunity to enhance its involvement in the billion-dollar creative economy by building the world’s first immersive 360-degree interactive data browser. Research into such systems benefits society by providing a cutting-edge development in digital technology and information access that enables a creative inno ....Narrative reformulation of museological data: the coherent representation of information by users in interactive systems. The proposed research seeks to provide Australia with a long-term opportunity to enhance its involvement in the billion-dollar creative economy by building the world’s first immersive 360-degree interactive data browser. Research into such systems benefits society by providing a cutting-edge development in digital technology and information access that enables a creative innovation culture. Through applied research into the narrative forms that underpin museological archives, this study will ensure that Australia remains at the forefront of the growing world-wide research into interactive technology thereby assisting the global digital media industry to tackle emergent challenges.

The reformulation of landscape as a user-generated interactive aesthetic. This project seeks to provide Australia with an opportunity to advance its understanding of landscape and climate change by building the world's first networked landscape visualisation system.
Archiving Australian Media Arts: Towards a method and national collection. The early years of Australian digital media arts heritage are at risk. Australians were significant contributors to the development of media arts internationally, as well as making and exhibiting work nationally, yet only a tiny portion of the digital artwork by Australian artists has made it into institutional collections. Deteriorating disks and reliance on obsolete hardware and software mean that innovative digital pre ....Archiving Australian Media Arts: Towards a method and national collection. The early years of Australian digital media arts heritage are at risk. Australians were significant contributors to the development of media arts internationally, as well as making and exhibiting work nationally, yet only a tiny portion of the digital artwork by Australian artists has made it into institutional collections. Deteriorating disks and reliance on obsolete hardware and software mean that innovative digital preservation and access solutions are needed if these artworks are to be saved. Working with key cultural institutions, this project will conserve key media art case studies from the archives of media arts organisations, and develop a best practice method for the preservation of our digital media arts heritage.Read moreRead less
