Alleviating digital fatigue through embodied artistic practice and green space
Digital fatigue, physical and mental tiredness caused by the continuous use of digital devices is a global concern.This paper surveys current research that problematizes the narrowed, but heightened attention often demanded by digital devices.It reframes the problem of fatigue in terms of affect.Numerous field and lab studies of immersion in green spaces, and simulations and images of green spaces have demonstrated the effectiveness of immersion …

Enhancing Artistic Practice through Integrating Strategies for Preservation into the Work
This paper shares insights from integrating strategies for preservation and dissemination into my ephemeral, affective art installations. Fruitful tensions and fundamental questions arising from curating these experiences are discussed in the light of artistic practices, preserving for re-performing and active facilitation of the personal archives of others. Curation is reflected on in the light of practices that were disruptive to the art world,…
Composing Visual Music
Creators of visual music face the challenge of retaining their own artistic impetus amidst an overwhelming choice of instruments, aesthetics, practice, techniques and technologies brought about by the impinging presence of a vast sea of data and tools. Navigating the data-driven ephemerality of artistic technology and its market-driven constraints by utilising strategies similar to composer Ron Kuivila’s (1998) for getting ‘under’, ‘over’ and ‘in…
An Investigation into Composing Visual Music Today
This paper will discuss an ongoing investigation into developing methodologies for composing new abstract visual music pieces. This practice-based research is historicised in relation to seminal artists whose works have helped to form the canon of visual music and composers, theorists and scientists whose work touches on the same problematic domain. This investigation highlights both the key seminal influences underpinning the new work and the in…
Animacy, Motion, Emotion and Empathy in Visual Music
This paper will discuss the exploration of key musical and visual parameters with the aim of enhancing the appreciation of Abstracted Animation [1] with varying degrees of animacy. A series of animations were created in response to multiple, wordless, sung, close variations of a song. Carefully delineated, visual parameters and a mapping of visual to audio relationships of the animations afforded insights into key audio-visual intersections and s…
