Summary: In the world today there is a growing use of interactive
multimedia systems in education, science and art. The multimedia system
enables the theoretical and practical expertise of architecture, film and
art to find and expose their mutual coordinates within one medium. If a
direct link is established with other multimedia centres, the local
expertise can be enriched with the knowledge from other centres in the
world. We believe that such a system would offer the users a simultaneus
and easy acsess to a rich source of different information interrelated in a
complex manner that would inspire a creative research into the material and
enhance their power of perception. Within the project three themes will be
developed as separate modules (architecture, painting, art) which would be
interconnected to offer, based on analogy, a dynamic comparative analysis
of similar problems.
Research goals: The real power of multimedia starts when several
different presentations are linked by thematical analogies into a whole, in
which the user can find, lead by analogy, similar characteristics in
different specialized domains. Through comparison and analysis new
knowledge is generated. Such a multimedia environment advances intellectual
curiosity, expands the users knowledge and enhances his creativity. The aim
of the interdisciplinary research is multiple. - To analyze the
development and define the optimal technological base for the application
of multimedia. - To analyze the characteristics and define the rules of
non-linear narration within this new media, that enables complex
structuring of different sources of information on the basis of associative
reasoning. - To investigate the application possibilities of multimedia in
the interdisciplinary exploration within different artistic domains
(architecture, art, film) and their interactions. - As a part of the
project, apart from the published reports, we plan to create three
multimedia presentations. Each would be a separate module but would have
numerous thematic links with other modules. - In the last year we would
test the effect of non-linear narration by offering the multimedia
application to a number of users - of different profile, age, knowledge and
computer literacy. Based on the results we will modify the application and
make suggestions on the use multimedia.
