School of Creative Communication

On Sunday 19 February 2007 Francesca Rendle-Short exhibited a series of drawings, entitled A Book of Breathing, in an exhibition at Schloss Haldenstein, Switzerland.

The Sonic Communications Research Group (SCRG) is an interdisciplinary group of researchers and educators working with sound as a medium for creative communication. The group takes a practice-led approach that seeks to crossover and integrate theory from media studies, design, information science, psychology and the creative arts.

Our special expertise includes sonification, sonic-writing, haptic-audio, auditory interfaces, generative sound, music imagery, music cognition, auditory perception, and sound art, theory and practice.

Staff and postgraduate students of the School of Creative Communication research contemporary culture and creative practice. Most are also creative practitioners, and our research results in creative as well as conventional products.

The Programme for 2007

Some staff in the School of Creative Communication share an interest in India, from a cultural studies perspective, with the School of Languages and International Studies. The University of Canberra has a MOA with Jawaharlal National University (JNU) in New Delhi — most particularly with the School of ????? — through which student and staff exchanges in both directions may be organised.

The School of Creative Communication hosted UNAUSTRALIA, the annual conference of the Cultural Studies Association of Australasia, over December 6, 7 & 8 2006. The conference featured 187 academic papers on the theme of UNAUSTRALIA, and an on-line art gallery: http://www.unaustralia.com/exhibition/AAUNOZ/exhibition.html
