>The history of creative practice within research assessment is a long and
>troubled one. The institutional transformation of higher education has led
>to an important role for creative practice in the research, science and
>technology policy fields. The effects can be seen in the development of
>terminology such as the "creative industries", where the definition of
>creativity is transformed from the expressive capacity of the human
>subject to a concept of innovation within a specified field of practice.
>There have also been important questions raised about whether policy
>definitions of research can be applied directly to work with an artefact
>or experience as its outcome, or whether the dynamics of creative practice
>require equivalent but separate conceptual frames.
>
>This conversation between Dr. Keith Armstrong, Australian new media artist
>and Danny Butt, former Director of the Creative Industries Research Centre
>in Hamilton, New Zealand, will explore the various tensions in the
>relationship between artists, researchers, and research assessment. Keith
>Armstrong will outline the development for the interactive installation
>work 'Shifting Intimacies', a collaboration with choreographer/performer
>Charlotte Vincent, commissioned by the Institute of Contemporary Art,
>London to premiere in February 2006. Danny Butt will give a brief overview
>of the historical tensions and accommodations between creative
>practitioners and research institutions, with particular reference to new
>media arts. This will be followed by open dialogue among the participants
>and the presenters.
>
>This workshop will be of particular interest to those working in art and
>design, performance, and media production disciplines within higher
>education settings, as well as those creating research infrastructure for
>creative practitioners.

>Speaker biographies:

>Dr Keith Armstrong specialises in collaborative, hybrid, new media works
>with an emphasis on performance, site-specific installation and
>art-science collaborations. His ongoing research focuses on how scientific
>and philosophical ecologies can both influence and direct the design and
>conception of networked, interactive media artworks. Keith's artworks have
>been shown and profiled extensively both in Australia and internationally.
>He is a creative director, media designer and system integrator within
>multidisciplinary teams and is the founder and director of the
