LiquidPress

LiquidPress

2005:

The LiquidPress consolidates a series of new media publishing activities which explore the construction and dissemination of emergent media in the form of ‘trans-media digital content’ – liquid media that can flow through a range of media form. The LiquidPress responds to the changing world of publishing/broadcasting as it moves from paper/TV/WWW/CD to digital generative media forms, and from fixed/passive to live, dynamic, active and locative media.

The LiquidPress:

The ‘LiquidPress’ research and production facility is based in the in the i-DAT SoftLab in Portland Square at the University of Plymouth.

The LiquidPress consolidates a series of new media publishing activities which explore the construction and dissemination of emergent media in the form of ‘trans-media digital content’; ‘liquid’ media that can flow through a range of media forms, including: e-books, software, net.art, and broadcast media.

The LiquidPress responds to the changing world of publishing as it moves from paper/TV/WWW/CD to digital generative media forms, and from fixed/passive to live, dynamic, active and locative media. The development of ‘liquid’ content has evolved through a series of integrated publishing/broadcasting experiments explored the integration of print, internet/world wide web and interactive satellite transmissions.

The LiquidPress explores the convergence of these technologies and the kinds of collaborative spaces that emerge through human interaction within them. The impact of these activities have been seen in a number of real world Knowledge Transfer projects (KTP/TCS) and are being further developed through a range of academic, research and commercial projects.

The LiquidPress is a research and production project managed by Nascent – Art & Technology Research opportunity [http://www.nascent-technology.net] from within i-DAT.

The symptoms of Nascent – Art & Technology Research can be described as collaborative, experimental, practice-based and applied, and engage with intelligent environments, interactive art, ubiquitous computing, sonic architecture and the construction and dissemination of emergent ‘transmedia’ forms.

i-DAT at SUBMERGE

i-DAT at SUBMERGE

submergenews
(21/04/2005). i-DAT will be organising a postgraduate symposium at SUBMERGE this year (30th June – 2nd July) in Bristol. The theme will be issues related to intellectual property. Issues around intellectual property are a key concern for graduates – perhaps more than ever at this juncture. Engaging with this topic reveals a range of tensions between the idealism of work entering the public domain and the pragmatics of making a living: between open source and proprietary interests. On the one hand, there is the idea that creativity and innovation thrives from the sharing of ideas in the ‘commons’ and on the other that certain protections are necessary to protect individual and collective interests. Discussion around these issues raises key issues for those in academia, commerce, research and art production. http://www.submerge.org.uk/
