The ANU Laptop Ensemble#
Dr Ben Swift
code 2k18 — a media conference of platforms, devices and screens
code is my instrument
code / creativity / culture#
a research group making space for where code, creativity and culture meet
software · the arts · everyday life
a team effort#
Alec Hunter — School of Music
Jean-Philippe Demarais — School of Art & Design
plus many more
the provocation#
the next generation of new-media creators are spread across the whole campus
but silos stifle it#
departmental boundaries keep them apart
de-silofication drives (innovation, entrepreneurship) are too crassly commercial to help
LENS#
the ANU Laptop Ensemble, run through TechLauncher
~10 students from computer science, art and music
how it’s gone#
creatively — student-driven gigs around campus
pedagogically — lots of missing knowledge between domains
administratively — creation without critique
what can we do to release this huge untapped potential?
