emerging trends in post-disciplinary creative practice
Thursday 26 June, 2008
Faculty of Engineering, Computing, and Creative Industries
Napier University
Merchiston Campus
10 Colinton Road
Edinburgh EH10 5DT
This one day symposium will bring together a number of leading
practitioners from the fields of architecture, art, and design who each
share a common desire to exploit the latest computing technologies in
their creative practice. The invited speakers will reveal their cutting
edge work that blurs the traditional boundaries of the creative
disciplines.
Emerging trends in post-disciplinary creative practice highlight the
interplay of conventional boundaries. "New hybrids of design are
emerging. People don't fit in neat categories; they're a mixture of
artists, engineers, designers, thinkers. They're in that fuzzy space and
might be finding it quite tough, but the results are really exciting."
[West, D., A New Generation, Icon, 2007, 43(January), pp. 56 - 64]
The aim of this event is to inspire and inform the symposium delegates
of the significance of this trans-disciplinary research and its impact
for creative practice in the UK. This event will appeal to a wide
audience including practitioners, researchers, educators, industrialists
and stakeholders involved in the creative industries.
