David Boreham is the coordinator of the Multimedia Studies discipline group in the faculty of arts at USQ. His qualifications and research interests lie predominantly in the political economy and poetics of new media technologies.
David's current research focus concerns the textuality, aesthetics and poetics of interactive media. In particular, he is investigating the development of artificial intelligence driven virtual reality environments as a potential mode of creative storytelling and as a potential educational environment. David is also actively involved in the development of on-line communities of interest such as the Public Memory project and early developent of the Woodford Music festivals on-line community.
Currently, David is developing the "Children of Doom" project which aims to document the social and cultural role played by computer games in the every day life experience of the 'Nitendo' generation as they become marture citizens in our communities.
David's tertiary teaching career follows 19 years industry experience as a Graphic Designer and Technical Illustrator with a particular specialisation in photo-reprographic media. Since 1987 he has been teaching electronic and multimedia art theory and practice, first at the Queensland College of Art in Intermedia Studies, later moving to TAFE to develop Multimedia courses and then at the University of Southern Queensland.
