Genealogies of digital light. The first interdisciplinary account of practice in light technologies, this project will look in detail at the innovation process in the techniques and technologies used in depicting, recording and projecting light. It will explore how contemporary digital media imitate, advance or retreat from the achievements of older techniques and devices; how accidental artefacts of specific media become desirable outcomes in others; and how these past processes impact on desig ....Genealogies of digital light. The first interdisciplinary account of practice in light technologies, this project will look in detail at the innovation process in the techniques and technologies used in depicting, recording and projecting light. It will explore how contemporary digital media imitate, advance or retreat from the achievements of older techniques and devices; how accidental artefacts of specific media become desirable outcomes in others; and how these past processes impact on design and innovation of new tools. Outcomes will include print and online publications, a conference and collaboration between three universities.Read moreRead less
Creative Industries in Queensland: Cluster Mapping and Value-chain Analysis. 'Creative industries' is a new term in academic, policy and industry discourse that captures 'new economy enterprise' dynamics which associated categories 'the arts', 'media' and cultural industries' do not. This project will advance the conceptualisation of creative industries and assist policy and industry by analysing the creative industries in Queensland with a business model of value chain and cluster mapping.

'Creative industries' is a new term in academic, policy and industry discourse that captures 'new economy enterprise' dynamics which associated categories 'the arts', 'media' and cultural industries' do not. This project will advance the conceptualisation of creative industries and assist policy and industry by analysing the creative industries in Queensland with a business model of value chain and cluster mapping. Significantly, it will highlight integrated value chain relationships rather than 'silo' constructions of the sector; and produce data useful for informed economics and cultural development strategies by industry partners. Its innovations will benefit industry, and governments, agencies, and councils.Read moreRead less
Creative Economy:Investigating South Australia's Creative Industries. This project aims at providing a rich and informative data set and analyses of South Australia's Creative Industries to enable a better understanding of the value networks operating in, across and beyond sectors and enable the State's creative industries to be benchmarked against their national and global counterparts. It will carry out a comprehensive, finely granulated, bottom up data gathering exercise and associated analy ....Creative Economy:Investigating South Australia's Creative Industries. This project aims at providing a rich and informative data set and analyses of South Australia's Creative Industries to enable a better understanding of the value networks operating in, across and beyond sectors and enable the State's creative industries to be benchmarked against their national and global counterparts. It will carry out a comprehensive, finely granulated, bottom up data gathering exercise and associated analyses needed at the State level to identify gaps in existing information for addressing policy settings and development. This will extend to a cross-sectoral cluster analysis and support a sustainable industry policy within the changing media environment.Read moreRead less
