A presentation of some projects that have explored

"rich content"

drawn from the Humanities and Arts

through experiments in new and old media.

Tri Bywyd and Theatre/Archaeology - "the rearticulation of fragments of the past as real-time event"

Mobile Media 2015 - when classical archaeology met consumer electronics in the Chrysler car of 2015

key themes, findings, experiences

• collaboration and hybridity - taking interdisciplinary work seriously in practice as research/pedagogy/manifestation

• the importance of craft - embodied iterative practice, the crucial role of instrumentality

• the importance of performance - performativity, improvisation as well as craft in "the studio"

• management - flat open networks and project managers/facilitators (rather than traditional hierarchies)

• "third spaces" - shared collaborative spaces, digital/analog mixed realities, for R & D and pedagogy - "the studio"

• site specificity - location matters

• long-term perspectives bring depth and fresh-thinking - socio-cultural, phenomenological, archaeological/genealogical modeling

• the heuristic value of cross-over thinking - hybridity and katachresis

the importance of the archaeological

• documentation - think of trace and vestige, assemblage and curation - archaeology and ichnography

• haunted media, the presence of the past, memory practices, media materialities
