This blog contains all the media related research I have conducted since the inception of my ‘multimedia’ M.A. by registered project back in October 2010. Then the focus was on contemporary tablets and software and a geographical location. Since then I have fairly logically worked backwards towards the creation of the media culture and found myself increasingly interested in the Victorian period.
For want of a better title I have renamed the blog ‘Victorian Transmedia’.
For me the period from the invention of photography through to the birth of commercial cinema is fascinating and it where most of my attention been in terms of genuine research.
So this blog will continue to reflect my genuine interest in the impact of technology on and through the arts in the Thames Valley from about 1825 -1910 ( The Leverhulme application slightly modified that focus for funding reasons.)
I am currently consolidating this research angle into something more solid and will continue to seek support for it outside of NTU SAD.
None of this research will in future be attached to NTU and I have created a new research profile on academia edu as an independent which says it all really.
The new profile is here:
