About
My PhD project examines the use of technology-enabled practice to create a sense of place. This project investigates the interplay between new-media derivatives of technology-enabled practice that integrate digital content with a geographical space.
The scope of my project includes internet technologies, mobile devices and how those are used in a cyclic flow connected by augmented reality solutions. The nature of this cyclic loop is complicated by layers of technology and digital content. My intention is to isolate the social layers from technical elements to reveal the stratification of locative practice.
I have been professionally employed in a range of web, multimedia and ICT roles since 1995. Initial roles were creative and later roles have been management and consultant. I continue to work professionally while I undertake my PhD.
I also combine my professional ICT experience with the academic activities of my PhD project in another area of interest: the role of technology to support and extend research methods. An eResearch focus of my PhD project is computational techniques to analyse a visual collection such as digital photos using data attributes of individual items. A professional interest is the intersection between ICT and research method beyond simplistic use of computing resource such as processing-power or storage.
