Vg Asst Prof Andrea Nanetti	All results of my research career convey into Engineering Historical Memory (EHM) (http://www.engineeringhistoricalmemory.com). EHM is both an experimental methodology and an ongoing research project for the organization of historical information in the age of data revolution, that I theorized when I was Visiting Scholar at Princeton University in 2007, to develop and test new sets of shared conceptualizations and formal specifications for content management systems in the field of heritage science. What sets it apart from other approaches is a focus on developing and applying computationally intensive techniques to achieve this goal (e.g. pattern recognition, data mining, machine learning algorithms derived from other disciplines, and visualization solutions). The preliminary sets of formal specifications and results of tests on highly cross-linked historical data have been published in Italy in 2008 (local urban historical memory transmission), 2010 (world views and networks), and 2011 (regional man-heritage-landscape systems) when I was Adjunct Lecturer in the Faculty of Cultural Heritage Conservation of the Alma Mater Studiorum-University of Bologna (Italy). For details, see the publications list on my personal homepage http://www.andreananetti.com The master plan designing and the Web strategies of EHM are developed by Meduproject Ltd. (a company that I established in 2002 as academic spin-off of the Department of History and Methods for Cultural Heritage Conservation of the University of Bologna, after having been awarded in 2001 a prize in the first Italian business plan competition devoted to projects with high content of knowledge and having been financially supported by the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Environment). Research teams and fundraising are working in Venice, People's Republic of China, Australia, USA, Turkey, Russia, Egypt, India, and Singapore. Using English as lingua franca, heritage science scholars of all countries are invited to use EHM to organize and share literary, documentary, art historical, cartographical, archaeological, photographical, oral, and musical data sets. EHM, as a research project, is based on the question “What shall the historian do having all data available in a digitalized form?” What the implications will be for studying the past when ALL archival materials will be digitized and available in any language? From a media perspective, the challenge is to let the system work on a visual base for art historians interested in investigating technological intercontinental networks: data mapping and visualization of the diffusion of technologies related to art (ceramics/porcelain, silk, glass, paper, lost-wax casting bronze production, pottery kilns, and so on). If the general spirit is shared with Wikipedia, Wikimapia (where users and guests mapped over 20'000'000 objects on an interactive global map), and other collaborative databases, what makes the difference here is the application of the highest standards of scholarly edition and publication for each different typology of historical source. The most recent engagement of the project is to develop and test tools (technologies and processes) that can be readily adopted by all users to visualize high volumes of data through maps, timelines, tag clouds, and/or interconnected graphs on different scales. Because, not only historians and art historians, but also artists, students, and all sorts of other users will be welcome to create and share their own narratives, by tagging, connecting and recognizing links among elements of the historical landscape.

It analyses antithetical aspects within the evolution of graphic design, like its communicative and allegoric nature, autonomy and social commitment, and expressivity and new media standards. The theoretical basis of this research includes binary concepts like natural/artificial, original/copy, public/private, and physical/virtual. The research is methodologically structured upon close readings of a variety of visual objects from the perspective of graphic design. These objects are discusses in connection with different sorts of conceptual platforms, like manifestos, (un)realized projects, curatorial proposals and critical reviews among others sources within today's dominant orientations in graphic design.

Asst Prof Joan Marie Kelly	Assistant Professor Joan Marie Kelly is an artist and has been a faculty member of the School of Art Design and Media since 2005. She received a Master in Fine Arts from Western Connecticut State University and a Bachelors Degree from Maryland Institute College of Art graduating Magna Cum Laude. Art critic, Paul Khoo states: "Kelly operates in zones of contact, a theme elaborated in the 2006 Sydney Biennale: places where competing narratives of power compete, where silences speak to unwritten histories. Kelly reinvents the body through the environment of these zones: be it the foreign worker chattels of Little India, the brothels of Calcutta, or the factory towns of the Shenzen Economic Zone. These zones mark the intersection of the grand narrative of globalization and progress with those of the lived reality of those at the bottom of the pyramid. The recent trip to Arunchal Pradesh brings Kelly to another zone, one where a traditional, rural economy clashes with the forces of globalization." Joan Kelly has a growing exhibition record. Recent exhibitions include: Rajamangala University of Technology 2010, Ahuja Museum Kolkata India 2010, Mae Fah Luang Art And Cultural park Thailand 2010, Kolkata Academy of Fine Arts Kolkata 2009, India Fauzia Museum, Universiti Sains Malaysia 2008, International Drawing Biennial in the Czech Republic October 2008.
Asst Prof Julien Cayla	My first research stream has to do with the politics and dynamics of consumer culture in India, looking more specifically at the nexus between marketers, cultural producers and consumers and their relationship to the globalizing Indian economy. This research stream is at the intersection of South Asian studies, history, anthropology and consumer culture theory. My second research stream can be called Inside Marketing, and has to do with the inner workings of the marketing profession i.e. the beliefs and practices of marketing professionals, and other cultural producers participating in the construction of markets. The book I edited with Detlev Zwick, on this research stream, titled Inside Marketing was published in 2011 by Oxford University Press and has received very favorable reviews. In Organization Studies, James Fitchett calls Inside Marketing “one of the most important collections on marketing published to date”.

Assoc Prof Louis-Philippe Demers	To investigate Design, Digital Media and Media Arts from the interactive and embodied media perspectives. To investigate Artistic, Aesthetic and Technological impact of digital media on humans under the following paradigm: As digital media, pervasive and ubiquitous computing are increasingly being part of our every day life, the researches focus on the human - the role of the body - at various levels of the digital domain experience. Beyond the sole paradigm of Human Computer Interfaces (HCI), these researches will analyze and implement projects across the spectrum of Art & Design while correlating those to the spectrum of being close to the body -objects-, to a broader sphere -space- and finally to a global container -culture-.

Mr Lucas M F V Jodogne	Besides being an award winning Cinematographer Lucas also developed his Art as a Photographer. Since his first solo exhibition in 1984 he has shown his work all over the world in galleries and museums. His work has been acquired by important collections including the National Art museum and the Singapore Art museum in Singapore. Several publications are on his name, notably “Bodiless dragon”, 1994: Pandora, the subject focuses on the urban landscape of Singapore. He sees himself not as a mere photographer but as an artist with a camera. He uses a picturesque presentation of his works, which refers to nineteenth century and even earlier painting to empower the concept behind it. His work consists of observing the social and industrial transformations within the landscape.

Trees. Wood. Birds. Lucy's current art practice and writing revolves around the may ways in which nature intervenes in human cultural life in Southeast Asia. Lucy is founder of the Migrant Ecologies Project www.migrantecologies.org. Work with the Migrant Ecologies Project involves a three year art practice and writing research into of stories of, and relationships between, humans, wood and trees and humans in our region, where trees and wood are explored as material, magic, metaphor, ecological resource and historical agent. Part of the research for the Migrant Ecologies Project is carried out while Lucy is Artist in Residence with Double Helix Timber Tracking Technologies--a company dedicated to combatting illegal logging through DNA profiling of timber. The conceptual part of this research engages theoretical intersections of contemporary art practice, posthumanist theory and material culture. The aesthetic explorations in this research involve a reflexive recasting of the material, form and content of the Singapore modern woodcut movement through myriad histories of art, nature and life in Singapore/Malaya. The first two productions coming out of the Wood:Cut; research were exhibited at Post Museum gallery in May 2009 and The Substation art centre, Singapore November 2009 respectively. Both received considerable local and international press attention. These exhibitions comprise outputs from an RGB startup grant. Outputs were nominated for the Asia Pacific Signature Art Prize organized by the Singapore Art Museum in July of 2011 Stage three of research process involves the awarding of a Tier 1 Grant (March 2010) for "The Secret Lives of Forest Products -- Tracing “memories” of Southeast Asian forest products in time & space".

Alongside the above, Lucy has also an ongoing interest and engagement in the role of public intellectuals and the position of academics and artists in civil society in Singapore/Southeast Asia.
Asst Prof Marijke Van Kets	Research on Cinematography A study on the perception of cinematic technique and its influence on film language. The research focuses on the use of cinematic technique by the director of photography when shooting a feature film. Is this juggling with technical properties: lenses, lights, speed, shutter, f-stop and so on, effective? Can cinematography influence how audiences perceive movies? I argue that the application of cinematic technique adds additional layers of meaning, nuance and emotional context to shots and scenes along with their objective content. The study also suggests that the use of cinematographic differentials like composition, three-dimensional field and lens language, contributes to the film language.

Asst Prof Mark Joseph Chavez	Animation has been of interest to me since I did my undergraduate work at Arizona State University where in 1980 I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts focusing in Drawing. At that time, I experimented with animation doing short clips with clay figurines. I went on to study animation at the University of California Los Angeles Film School doing most of my academic studies in the 1980’s with a focus on Animation. Immediately I began to experiment with interactive technologies doing my MFA thesis work in laser light. It was projected onto the Federal Building in Westwood, California during the 1984 Olympic Games. I went on to other experimentation in interactive works at Philips Interactive developing CD-I or hypermedia/interactive games. Part of the attraction of doing animation research in industry was the ability to develop ground-breaking techniques. At that time I experimented with the Symbolics Corporations Graphic System. That work led me to work in Japan at Tokyo Broadcasting System Vision, and finally to Acclaim Entertainment where I worked developing methodologies for use with motion capture technologies. As senior artist we created the first use of motion capture in a computer video game. I joined DreamWorks Feature Animation shortly thereafter doing crowds for the “Prince of Egypt” as well as other feature films, later I joined Rhythm and Hues Studios Los Angeles though there the work was mostly production related. My academic research is concerned with exploring animation production and popular thematic trends. In 2008 I received funding that enabled research that resulted as a final result of inquiry a short animated movie (18mn 27sec) called [Vengeance+Vengeance]. Although the movie is authored in a game engine it is designed to have interaction primarily in visual styles. Initially these designs were morphed in real-time in an interactive playback system. Our interactive version also blended stylistically different audio tracks. The movie was made with a custom authoring system. The final outcome of research is a complete short film where during authorship the visual design of the characters and sets change dynamically to manipulate the viewer’s experience. The final is baked out into a rendered format and plays as any movie plays. In what ultimately ended up being a director driven system, the characterization was varied between three design targets: extreme, standard and cute. Cute-style targeted cartoon-like rounded shapes and colorful though soft tones. This style was used to draw empathy from the audience making the character appear more child-like and vulnerable. Standard-style targeted assumed naturalistic proportions and colors, this was our heroic action setting. Extreme-style attempted a more film-noir look with sharp, exaggerated though human-like proportions. This style used more texture detail and contrasting tones within the scene and was used portray danger and threat. I call the toolset/methodology of the research an Active Cinema movie system. The research process included an examination of the impact images and imagery to emotion. The work was completed in July of 2012.
Asst Prof Martin Constable	I am deeply fascinated by the way that compositing technologies (like Photoshop and Nuke) have changed the shape of our culture. The role of the artist has been completely re-defined by these technologies, a change that is comparable to the change wrought upon painters by the invention of photography. In my work as an artist I try to cross-breed the disciplines of photography, painting and visual effects. My other line of research is in the field of computational aesthetics. I have been working in collaboration with computer engineers on problems relating to the automatic and semi-automatic augmentation of the aesthetic attributes of photographs. One key aspect of this work is the realization of how important contrast is in determining the key style aspects of an image. Though this work is ongoing, I can say that image contrast is not what most people think it is. One of my first projects in NTU was to design a Blackboard tool ('Visual Acuity') to aid the grading of visual art assignments. This was such a success that it was instituted by the university as a permanent fixture. Currently I am completely hot for the possibilities offered by the Lightfield camera (Mark Levoy et al: http://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/lfcamera/). I doubt that many people fully realize how much this technology can cnage the way that we think about images and the way that we edit them. Some wikis: (eratic server, please be patient) - My teaching Wiki on Photoshop use: http://opticalenquiry.com/photoshop - My teaching Wiki on Nuke (compositor) use: http://opticalenquiry.com/photoshop - My Wiki covering ther work produced by my artists collaborative 'Grieve Perspective': http://http://grievethink.com One of the most exciting things about working at NTU is the wonderful possibilities available for collaboration with engineers. Any form of inter disciplinary collaboration is difficult, and science and art collaboration even more so. However the rewards are substantial. One of my heros in this regard is Albert Munsell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Henry_Munsell) an artist whose asked a few simple and fundamental questions about color. In exploring these questions he developed the Munsell Color System which in turn became the Lab color space.

Vg Assoc Prof Meridel Rubenstein	MERIDEL RUBENSTEIN began her professional career in the late 1970?s, evolving from photographer of single photographic images to multi-media artist of large-scale installations. From the beginning her artmaking has argued for an awareness of how we are connected to place. Her works are known for their unusual combinations of mediums, materials and ideas. From 1989-93, she collaborated with performance and video artist Ellen Zweig on the traveling exhibition CRITICAL MASS, which took as its subject the intersecting of the scientific and native american worlds during the making of the first atomic bomb at Los Alamos. Following on its heels she was commissioned to make the glass/video/photographic installation Oppenheimer?s Chair for the for the first Site Santa International Biennial. In more recent work, like Joan?s Arc/Vietnam, she uses Vietnam and the American war as a mirror for different ideas in the east and west about nature/ body /place / forgiveness. Large luminous digital prints on handcoated paper combine with video projections and objects in wood and sandblasted glass. Rubenstein has exhibited widely including the 1st SITE Santa Fe International Biennial, the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, and The List Center for the Visual Arts at MIT in Cambridge as well as in numerous gallery and Museum traveling exhibitions. In October 2004, BELONGING: Los Alamos to Vietnam/Photoworks and Installations , was published by St. Ann?s Press. This major monograph of twenty years of her work, includes texts by reknown art writers Lucy Lippard, and Rebecca Solnit.

Assoc Prof Oh Soon-Hwa	Associate Professor Oh's research interest focuses on the artist and dealer relationship. Based on her observation and experience as an emerging artist in NYC, she developed a study that explored the cultural, social, and psychological roles of the networks of relationships among artists and art world professionals. By employing a qualitative research method of case study she documents and analyzes the experiences and practices of emerging artists in NYC and in Paris, and their significant art dealers, curators, and collectors. The study identifies various roles of networks of relationships and examines in which ways their relationships contribute to the development of their creative works. She is the author of the book "From art school to art world" (2009). Her more recent research focus lies on the interaction between Art & science, Photography & Technology. Teaching and researching on digital photography has incited her to explore and expand the boundaries of the photographic medium by collaborating with scientists in various projects in development. In her photographic practice, her interest lies in documentary projects that deal with issues of identity, gender, and human condition. For instance, her “Girls from Mekong Delta” essay is a semi-documentary project that explores the identity and environment of young Vietnamese women from a small island nicknamed “Taiwanese Island” who intend or are pushed to marry foreigners in their quest to have a better life and to support their own family. This project was Finalist (2009) and Semi-Finalist (2007) for the prestigious Lange-Tyler Prize at the Center for Documentary Studies, Duke University.

Asst Prof Peter Chen Chia Mien	Research Interest: The main research focus stems from the examination of the relationships between space, schema and image and work arises from a desire to capture and reveal the irregularities between lived experience and the schema or intention that created it. It is through the assumption that something always gets lost in the transformative process that we begin to witness the real relationship between abstract representation and the rational construct, and how through translation, interpretation and manifestation, it invariably deviates. Current projects: Urban Accelerations Ongoing research involves the examination of the evolution of the post-industrial cityscape and its influence on national identity and social meaning. Specific attention is paid towards the shift in the understanding and definition of monuments, and the notion of monumentality as it affects our urban perception and cultural drift. Embedded in the study is the hypothesis that architecture is no longer responsible for urban form, and urban form can no longer consolidate shared meaning. Soft Constructions A series of sculptures that explore the notion of tactility in sculptural work and how sculptures have seemed to been relocated from the haptic to the visual realm, and are always now established within a subject-object relationship. bluecloudwork Ongoing professional work that continues to develop a series of architectural portfolios prepared for the various architectural and design firms. ArtiFACT An exploration of the necessity of objects - starts with the design of theoretical furniture that have decided to revolt against the tired expectation of functionality, safety and use.

Assoc Prof Stephen Teo Kian Teck	Associate Professor Stephen Teo's current research work focuses on several aspects of theoretical interest in film. Firstly, contributing to the discourse on Asian Cinema as an alternative paradigm to Hollywood as the global form, and thus to evolve a concept of Asian Cinema as a viable cinematic and media theory supporting pedagogical and creative modules. Asian cinema and the concept of national cinema are inter-related forces but it is the latter that tends to subsume the former in theoretical discourse. Teo's research work seeks a concentrated, rigorous approach to defining Asian cinema as a specialized norm of aesthetics and thematic field that can be broadly applied to Asian films produced by diverse national film industries in Asia. How do Asian cinemas transcend national interests and become an Asian Cinema as a unitary and unifying element? With Asian film industries modelling themselves on Hollywood,how can an Asian cinema stand up as an alternative model to Hollywood? A second area of Teo's reasearch interest revolves around the nature of film in relation to cultural theory and other fields of cultural interest, including literature, history and popular arts. The literary and visual contrast inherent in cinema is a striking anomaly that calls for more theoretical investigation. Teo's work has concerned itself with how historical literary works are transposed into the cinema and how historical prototypes are transfigured as cinematic personalities but retaining essential qualities. A third area of Teo's work lies in genre and auteur studies. Teo is interested in standard Hollywood genres such as the Western, the action-adventure film, the thriller, the epic, the musical, and he seeks to explore their inter-textual connections with Asian genres such as the martial arts film, the gangster action film, the melodrama, horror, and historical epic. How do auteurs transform genre? A fourth area of research interest lies in the study of emerging Asian "New Waves" in traditionally ignored film industries such as those in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. Can these Southeast Asian cinemas make a lasting impact on the discourse of Asian cinema?
