iCinema's Associate Professor Ross
Harley awarded ARC Linkage
Grant
An ARC Linkage Grant has been awarded to iCinema Executive
Member, Associate Professor Ross Harley and School of Media
Arts' Mr John Gillies for their project Video Art Online: from
UBU films to the Present.
The project will create, consolidate and link to substantial
materials pertinent to video art in Australia. By way of a dynamic online
video database and online archives, this project will make available
works from the 1960s-90s alongside more of the most recent video
works. Acknowledging and utilising the possibilities of user-generated
and participatory media, video art online aims to link artists,
organisations and collections together by way of open-source and
Creative Commons protocols. This project makes use of innovative ways
of exhibiting, circulating, annotating and supplementing video works
in the age of peer-to-peer networks.
