Administering Organisation: Monash University
Project Summary:
The creative industries are at the forefront of a 21st century economy.
For Australia to play a leading role, artists and designers require innovative
software systems that support original creative practice. Creativity is
a highly soughtafter yet little understood phenomena. This research will
advance our understanding of creativity, developing imaginative new ways
of working with technology: enabling creative outcomes that are difficult
or impossible to achieve with existing software tools. In a global and
rapidly changing industry, this project will give Australian creative practitioners
and software developers a competitive edge, enhancing our international
reputation as a leader in this area.
