Improving understanding of the meaning and implications of contemporary bioscience, especially genetics and molecular biology, through bioliterate research in the humanities and social sciences, and conversely through better assimilation of bioscience and its significance by the humanities and social sciences. The research will be conducted in close collaboration with the Australian scientific community and will be disseminated back to the scientific community, to the humanities and to the Australian public. The project will bring to Australia the strengths of the applicant's existing collaborations with leading research centres in this field in the USA, UK and Canada.Read moreRead less
NAVIGABLE CINEMATIC SYSTEMS. The reformulation of cinematic narrative and the development of next generation interactive technology in new media. The Fellowship will launch a major reformulation of the key driver of new media technology, the theoretical innovation and testing of three models of interactive narrative - the polychronic, transcriptive, and co-evolutionary - as well as accelerating development of a new generation of accompanying cinematic technology. Through the design and demonstra ....NAVIGABLE CINEMATIC SYSTEMS. The reformulation of cinematic narrative and the development of next generation interactive technology in new media. The Fellowship will launch a major reformulation of the key driver of new media technology, the theoretical innovation and testing of three models of interactive narrative - the polychronic, transcriptive, and co-evolutionary - as well as accelerating development of a new generation of accompanying cinematic technology. Through the design and demonstration of a range of navigable, multi-user, virtual applications that enable the recreation of cinematic meaning from a mass of digital information, the Fellowship will develop interactive technology to the stage where it can be commercially evaluated in a way likely to maximise benefits to Australia.
