Current Projects

A collaborative open source documentary based on the book by Greg Elmer and Andy Opel. By publishing a “road map” of production, this project will engage the audience through all stages of the project, and will create both a feature length documentary and enable a non-linear open source cinematic database that will evolve over time.

The lab develops new theories, methods, and tools to interrogate the complexities of networked culture.

This project is to support and extend the pioneering work initiated by Korean political communication scholars in this area through development of collaborative relations with a core of researchers.

This research project brings together an accomplished group of international scholars that have largely studied the most recent wave of this phenomenon (1990-2002) - productions that have in large part migrated to Australia, New Zealand, and in the largest numbers to Canada.
