INSPIRATION MAP
Q3.


This inspiration mind map was created as I contemplated the exam blog's questions and explored my initial responses to them. I had not conceived the openness, the 24/7 engagement, and the way that more and more ideas would unfold. Constant revelation, and though the thrust of this blog is that physical reality is preferred to a virtual situation, I cannot ignore the joy and celebration of creativity, through this medium. It's so fast, it's so clean and incredibley immediate.

When I surfed the web I noticed that consortiums involving creative subjects- the arts, visual design, music, performance etc combined majestic interactive possibilities and the individuals involved, synthesised powerful digital skills.

Have a look at this line up of talent and contribution
from a Brisbane conference in 2003.

Blast Theory is renowned internationally as one of the most adventurous artists' groups using interactive media. Lead by Matt Adams, Ju Row Farr and Nick Tandavanitj the group has a team of seven and is based in London. The group's work explores interactivity and the relationship between real and virtual space with a particular focus on the social and political aspects of technology. It confronts a media saturated world in which popular culture rules, using video, computers, performance, installation, mobile and online technologies to ask questions about the ideologies present in the information that envelops us.

As technology and global military needs evolve so to does the ADL initiative. ADL is growing beyond SCORM to provide a complete platform of support tools and services to the Department of Defense, Federal Agencies, and the Distributed Learning Community.
