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.
