In May, 2019, we asked the ASTeRIX community to complete an on-line questionnaire in order to understand better the community’s research interests and to survey scholar-artists with respect to proposals for the future development of the centre, Art, Sound, & TEchnology Research IntersecXions (ASTeRIX), which is a Type B Research Centre in the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lethbridge. It supports research-creation across all departments in the Faculty of Fine Arts and includes, but is not limited to, investigating the intersections of technology and the arts. The remainder of this document includes results from the questionnaire and provides a report of the community members’ responses. Continue reading “2019 ASTeRIX Community Questionnaire Report”

 

 

We have 40+ cross-disciplinary members, including members beyond the Faculty of Fine and Arts and members representing independent organisations.

Reforming of the steering committee

An outcome of the May ASTeRIX AGM was a strong expression to maintain a formal Steering Committee. A big thank you to those of you who responded to the steering committee section of the questionnaire.
