Panel

Abstract

The panel will discuss the nature of research in creative practice. The participants will draw upon their current studies and experiences of projects that investigate creativity and the role of digital technology. Edmonds and Candy are applying a practice-led research approach to the study of collaborative work between artists and technologists. Mottram discusses practice-based research approaches and discusses the particular role of digital technologies in such research. Howarth is concerned with theories of perception and art and ongoing research into the interplay between mind, body and technology in fine art. Pettigrew is investigating how children act as creative artists using computers and proposes that children are different from adults.
