2011 Sept 29: Jon Bath on "Imagining Architectures of the Book: or, what Jon did while he was away"

in

2011 Sept 29 Thursday
4:00 pm
DRC (Arts 145), University of Saskatchewan

Following up on Brent Nelson’s talk from a couple of years ago, I will be discussing the Implementing New Knowledge Environments project and, in particular, ArchBook: Architectures of the Book (http://inke.ischool.utoronto.ca/archbook). ArchBook is an online reference resource that details the means by which texts have organized information in the past, with an eye towards how these past practices may help us design improved platforms for using and creating electronic texts.

Jon Bath is the Director of the Humanities and Fine Arts Digital Research Centre at the U of S.

All are welcome.

2011 June 27: Jeff Smith on "Creativity as Theft"

in

Jeff Smith presents "Creativity as Theft: The Honourable and Necessary Art of Stealing From Others In the Pursuit of Creative Expression"

The history of art has a rich tradition of thievery among artists. Honourable thievery. Creativity researcher and fantasy novelist Jefferson Smith will give a public lecture on his research into exploiting creative theft, improving software tool design and appropriating new tools from other fields. This talk will be a blend of research results, anecdotal experience and practical advice for both software developers and fiction writers. Refreshments will be served.

Date: Monday, June 27, 2011
Time: 3:30 pm
Location: Graduate Student Commons (previously Emanuel and St Chad bldg) on the corner of Wiggins and College Dr.
