Main research interests:
1. Computing applications in the Humanities, especially in Art
History, and especially to do with images; winner of one of the
twelve 1994 "Best of the Net" awards
Server & Web Activities:
The ArtServe server (http://rubens.anu.edu.au) contains some
1.3 gigabytes of material, including over 13,000 image files;
it currently receives over 13,000 accesses every day. Over
the past year, I have had consultancies with the Museum of
Victoria, with a joint imaging project between the
Universities of Padua and Glasgow and, most recently, with the
Federal Department of Housing & Regional Development. In
December 1994 I was appointed Co-director (together with Professor
Chris Bryant) of UniServe Australia - the Network for Electronic
Teaching and Learning Materials for the Australian University System.
