The book gathers together a variety of papers which represent the sweep of interests and practices of the media team at RMIT University. The staff are diverse researchers and media makers, engaged with a wide variety of media and mediums and interested in making connections between media practices.
This project, a book, began at a research retreat where, as a group of researchers, the Media team were responding to a research probe titled ‘Media Is…’. The retreat produced several artefacts as outcomes, including this research portal, and some of the papers appearing in this book were developed as part of the retreat.
The papers in this book pose questions such as 'how does representation impact on interpretation?'; 'What happens when creative practice is influenced by research?'; 'How doe we understand the intersection of media and culture?'; and ultimately, what is Media.
