ARC Grant – ‘Using participatory urban media to foster smart cities and the creative and cultural industries’

In conjunction with UNSW we applied for an ARC Linkage Grant for research into the use of digital media in public space and how to use digital space by connecting communities. The application proposal was completed and submitted in October 2013. The grant was to be administered over a three to five-year period starting in January 2015. Partners included Sydney University, Bruce Ramus (www.ramus.com.au, Michelle Tabet from ARUP Engineering and Lend Lease. The principle coordinator for the project was Yang Lei from the China Millennium Monument Museum of Digital Art (CmODA). We were also involved in the initial stages of the first ARC Linkage Grant to Melbourne University around public screens.
