Miles, Adrian. "Virtual Actual: Material Writing." ConnectEd: International Conference on Design Education. Sydney, 2007.
These are slides (presented as pdf) of some thoughts about writing as a specifc sort of academic material practice. I use some ideas about the actual and virtual to tease at this, eventually using hypertext as an exemplar. The work is to be developed into an essay.
As I hope to make clear below, material thought is singular, local and peculiar to place.
Miles, Adrian. "Halls Gap." Affective Atlas 01 Symposium. Melbourne, October 24, 2007.
These are the slides (as pdf) of the report I gave at the Affective Atlas 01 Symposium at RMIT in October 2007. The affective atlas is a large research project to investigate and prototype alternative geoknowledge tools, and this report is on a field trip with honours students where we collected media samples to make a prototype atlas using a GoogleMap.
This project investigated the viability of using available and 'to hand' technologies and practices to sketch a prototype affective atlas.
