This research concerns challenges presented by today鈥檚 rapidly changing technologies and new creative practices for the preservation of historic, scientific and artistic work as cultural heritage.  Recent and contemporary creative practices in both the arts and the sciences such as those using digital technologies involve unstable media and hardware.  What new approaches are being developed to document and preserve records of new techno-cultural practices and the works created with them for future generations? Here the focus is on the design of culturally appropriate, scientifically informed and economically sustainable strategies suited to community-based cultural heritage projects.

My research activities in this area focus on case studies of trans-disciplinary collaboration related to various forms of technical innovation.  One case study examines the development and appropriation of new recording technologies.  Another focuses on collaboration between cultural heritage professionals, artists, scientists and other forms of experts in the creation and preservation of new forms of material culture and documentation of performance. Specifically my work studies the development of international standards and guidelines for best practices in areas related to digital media in multidisciplinary organizations working in materials science (particularly on plastics and other synthetic media), computer science (parameters for open source software developments related to digital audio-visual media), and engineering.

Contemporary trans-national movements characterized by hybrid cultural practices have given rise to social networks with diverse aesthetic and ideological commitments that are re-configuring global communications. This research examines the place of Do-It-Yourself preservationists and popular culture in connection with global public discourse and trans-national practices.  My work in this area focuses specifically on how the arts shape and reshape public memories, reconfigure spaces within civil society, redefine individual and collective identities, engage with displaced communities, and invent traditions that transcend boundaries, creating new alliances. My research on international initiatives for the preservation of built and movable cultural heritage in conflict zones addresses interests in this area.

Critical Ethnography and Digital Heritage Initiative (2014-2019) 

Principal Applicant              Co-applicant Kate Hennessy, School of Interactive Art and Technology, 尤物视频     

Funding: Canada Foundation for Innovation, BC Government and SFU matching funds

The Critical Ethnography and Digital Heritage Initiative (CEDHI) is dedicated to designing innovative methods for safeguarding cultural heritage resources using digital technologies. With dedicated laboratory space with the School of Communication at SFU鈥檚 Burnaby campus, the CEDHI will respond to the urgent need for new strategies to document, preserve and control access to cultural heritage resources in art worlds and Indigenous communities. This university-based facility will be unique in Western Canada, with its emphasis on innovations in ethnographic research methodologies that integrate contemporary approaches to sound recording, visual imaging, and 3-D image modelling. Digital information management will remain a key issue in the 21st century. This research will develop protocols and content management systems so community-based groups, private sector entrepreneurs, and public sector organizations can undertake economically sustainable and culturally meaningful initiatives in the digital era.

New Media as Cultural Heritage: Contemporary Art Conservation as Social Mediation (2011-2014)

Principal Investigator

Funding: SSHRC Standard Grant

Rapidly changing art-making practices present formidable challenges for people attempting to preserve memories of today for tomorrow. The study examines contemporary strategies for the preservation of cultural heritage in digital (or electronic) media and other 鈥渢ime-based鈥� media鈥攕uch as practices using ephemeral materials, performance-based processes or technologies that rapidly become obsolete. The research focuses on a study of initiatives devoted to rethinking strategies for collecting, preserving and ensuring public accessibility to ethnographic and artistic work in time-based media.鈥� The study seeks to contribute to debates about the interplay between technology and culture in mediation processes involving human and non-human 鈥榓ctors鈥�, and to identify new ways of thinking about connections between people and things, and between our culture and others, past and present.
