About CreateWorld 2009

"Mobile Me - Creativity on the Go"

Given the success of the last event, the AUC will be holding CreateWorld 2009, a 3 day performance, presentation, and professional development event, specifically for Academic and Higher-Education Technical staff in the digital arts disciplines.

Invited speakers and keynotes this year include New Yorks' Prof William Duckworth and Nora Farrell speaking on their Sonic Babylon project and Industrial Designer Andrew Scott on the design history of the iPod. UQs' Dr Robert Davidson (who played with "Topology" in previous CreateWorlds) will be performing a one man show. This year we have included key industry players in the arts such as Justin Macdonnell, Executive Director of ANZarts Institute and National Gallery of Victorias' Jean-pierre Chabrol.

CreateWorld 2009 will be held on 30 November– 2 December 2009 at Griffith University’s Brisbane South Bank Campus. The conference will feature a wide range of academic and technical presenters from the University and industry sectors as well as hands-on technical workshops. There will be a range of keynotes and the very popular panel sessions. For an overview of the dynamic nature of the conference, visit last years' recordings at http://createworld2008.edublogs.org/
