Assoc Prof Alton Chua Yeow Kuan	Dr Chua’s research interests lie mainly in information and knowledge management, with a particular focus on user-generated content. The themes of his research include community question-answering system, online reviews and rumors in social media. For example, he studied the quality of answers submitted to Yahoo!Answers and whether prompt answers were necessarily of good quality. He also investigated the way questions ought to be phrased to maximize their chances of attracting good answers. On online reviews, he has identified a number of factors that make a given reivew helpful to other users. Another related line of inquiry is the distinctions between authentic reviews and fake reviews. Given the prevalence of online rumors in recent times, Dr Chua's efforts have been trained on understanding the virality of rumors, and how the ill effects of rumors can be curbed through the use of counter-rumors.

Assoc Prof Andrea Nanetti	Dr Andrea Nanetti—as a scholar, who started his research vocation in historical studies at the advent of computer operating systems with graphical user interfaces—has always been fascinated by the exponential growth of interdependencies between artificial actions (i.e., human made) and computational operations (i.e., completed by electronic devices able to store and process data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to them in a variable program or machine learning, which allows algorithms to learn through experience, and do things that we are not able to program). With this interest, he is proposing the theoretical need to direct traditional disciplinary knowledge toward a formal science of heritage (i.e., the treasure of human experiences), which will focus on how data and information—now encoded in complex interactions of written, pictorial, sculptural, architectural, and digital records, oral memories, practices, and performed rituals—may be inherited by machine learning algorithms. This state-of-the-art science pioneers integrated action plans and solutions in response to, and in anticipation of, the exponential growth of emerging needs in our increasingly complex human society. In practice, the research uses multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary methods to identify case studies for interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary teamwork investigations. Since 2007, Dr Nanetti's main research project is EHM-Engineering Historical Memory (http://www.engineeringhistoricalmemory.com, since 2015 on Microsoft Azure). EHM is both an experimental methodology and an ongoing research project for the organization of historical information in the machine learning age. He first theorized it as a Visiting Scholar at Princeton University in 2007. Since his arrival at NTU in 2013, Dr Nanetti has been working on the globalisation of his research interests. Starting from his background studies on the world as seen from Venice through its chronicles and diaries (1205-1433) and world maps (e.g. Fra Mauro), he opened the range of the investigation of other coeval historiographical traditions, in Chinese, Greek, Russian, Persian, and Arab. EHM develops and tests new sets of shared conceptualizations and formal specifications for content management systems in the domain of the Digital Humanities, with a focus on how to engineer the treasure of human experiences and serve decision making, knowledge transmission, and visionarios. In practice, his research develops and applies computationally intensive techniques (e.g., pattern recognition, data mining, machine learning algorithms derived from other disciplines, knowledge aggregators, interactive and visualization solutions). From a theory point of view, EHM focuses on history of historiography and studies new ontologies for the semantic web, inspired by Derrida's notion of trace, Ginzburg's "thread and traces" theory, and last but not least Umberto Eco's semiotics (e.g., 2007 'Dall'Albero al Labirinto', published in English in 2015 as 'From the Tree to the Labyrinth'). In his long-term strategic fit at the NTU Singapore School of Art, Design and Media, Dr Nanetti is designing and engineering a new generation of knowledge aggregators for immersive spaces to test how interactive media and AI can share the century-old experiences of Arts and Humanities with Sciences. In this intellectual framework in 2017 Dr Nanetti initiated an interdisciplinary project to revitalise the social nature of learning experiences from a transcultural perspective. The project is called “Dancing over Ideas of Research”. D.A.N.C.I.N.G. identifies the knowledge aggregation process (Definition, Assumption, Notion, Concept, Interpretation, Narrative, Gamut), which uses AI in immersive spaces to augment and expand the human capacity to discuss complex ideas (i.e., ways of seeing and representing reality) and ultimately facilitate solutions to the 21st century grand challenges.

Assoc Prof Dejan Grba	Dejan Grba’s research is motivated by heterogenous artistic, scientific and cultural phenomena relating to the conceptual, cognitive, technological, poetic and political aspects of visual arts, film, new media art and digital culture. His special interest is in generative art and in consequential qualities of human creativity in general, including the constitution, representation and interpretation of the individual notion of reality in the symbolic and narrative structures. These interests have been informed by the insights in physics, biology, evolutionary and cognitive sciences. Dejan’s research methodology is based on empirical assessment, reiterative (self)critical thinking and awareness for human fallacies and biases which manifest in the arts, sciences, technology and everyday life. Dejan’s current research integrates three lines of activities. 1. Generative Art Book With expertise in a range of new media art disciplines, Dejan has been focusing his theoretical work on the critical exploration of generative art, working on a book in collaboration with Vladimir Todorović, Senior Lecturer at UWA in Perth. The authors study generativity in the arts, review different concepts of generative art in the existing literature, and address generative practices in various areas of new media art such as visualization, animation, sound art, cinema, gaming, interactivity, performance, bioart, postdigital art and design. They investigate the specific features of generative methodologies such as bricolage, intentionality, narrativity, creative discovery, emergence, unpredictability, epistemological value, technological entanglement, cultural relevance and museological status. Looking at the insights, implications, poetic, cognitive and ethical aspects of generative art, the authors discuss the ways in which it influences and changes contemporary art, culture and human lives. The book proposal is scheduled for fall 2019. 2. New Media Art Research Platform This is a project for the robust, comprehensive, open-access online platform which will serve as an artistic, theoretical, teaching and learning tool in new media art. The kernel of the platform is a database that includes an extensive set of interrelated media-rich material including the artists, art projects, institutions, several types of references (including an extensive bibliography, filmography, web links, and chronology) and contextual data. It maps all main areas of new media art: computer art pioneers, imaging/visualization, infographics/data viz, sound, animation, film, video, installation, interactivity, performance, generative art, gaming, Internet art, activism, bioart, design, architecture and postdigital art. The project will develop the online and offline methodology for contributing, curating, updating, optimizing and evolving the platform contents and functionality. It will provide long-term flexibility, versatility and anticipation which will overcome the shortcomings of the existing, semi-functional or expired databases on new media and digital art. 3. Transdisciplinary New Media Art Education and Academia Focusing on the 4C principal skills - creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication - Dejan is exploring the methodologies for diversifying transdisciplinary approach to teaching, practicing and academic work in new media art. He is looking for the comprehensive ways to coordinate the specific abilities of the artists, scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs and professionals from other fields into a balanced, unbiased, engaged and effective involvement with new media art curricula, academic work, research projects, production and public outreach. This research is motivated by the synergetic potential of well-defined and structured multidisciplinary collaboration, and by the fact that individual human creativity and expression get improved and empowered by the collective tools for applying and extending rationality.

Assoc Prof James Patrick Williams	Professor Williams is trained in the symbolic interactionist tradition of sociology, a social-psychological perspective that foregrounds language and meaning as key dimensions of understanding the everyday life. Prof Williams' research focuses on youth cultures and subcultures, self and identity, digital media, and games. Much of Prof Williams' publications has centered on the construction of subcultural selves/identities among young people who feel in some way separate from mainstream society. His main contributions to sociology have been theorizing (1) the role new media technologies play in facilitating the development and diffusion of subcultures and subcultural identities and (2) theorizing the social construction of subcultural authenticity. His second interest relates to the increasing salience of fantasy and digital games in everyday life.

Ms Nicole Midori Woodford	Nicole’s works and research seek to explore the myriad parallels between people in Asia and Southeast Asia using cinema as well as the space between the mundane and the profane. As a filmmaker, she manipulates the day to day gestures of characters within her films and ritualises them while juxtaposing them alongside the uncanny. Her perspective focuses on the female psyche and how trauma is translated to the cinematic form featuring female protagonists. Nicole is also interested in melding works with influences from the horror genre as a means to translate the psychological journeys of such characters. In her feature film project, Nicole investigates these complex emotions of a person’s departure from his or her life due to trauma, using spirituality as a means of discourse and catharsis for the characters in the film.
