Subject:information request - all artists
Message:hello,

My name is Mayuir Sidhpara. I am a third year University degree student at the TIC in the UK. I would appreciate if you were able to provide some information on this subject or even shed some light on this topic as your knowledge and experience will be of great use to my project.

A BRIEF OUTLINE OF MY PROJECT
For my project, I will be investigating into how multimedia (digital/computer-related) can assist in the production of art, specifically interactive multimedia installations. As part of this process I will be looking into technologies such as authorware, lightwave, 3D Studio Max, director, flash, xml, asp, databases - access, oracle, after effects, php, photoshop, illustrator, premier, avid xpress DV, sound forge, dreamweaver, fireworks, etc

I will be comparing and contrasting traditional techniques with those employed by multimedia artists, in order to quantify the contribution that technology has made to the work of arts.

This project will last up to 10 months. I would certainly appreciate your co-operation throughout the project lifespan. If you would prefer to opt out then that's not a problem, please let know.

All artists that are taking part will be credited accordingly within the report.

I have a few questions below:

Your Full Name :
Your Location :
Your Website Address :

1) Are you a traditional or digital artist ?

2) How many years have you produced art ?

3) Do you use digital media together with traditional media to produce art (in combination, instead of, not at all). What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing this and what results from this ?

4) What is your definition of Art or Digital Art/Computer-related ?

5) What constitutes as "conventional traditional media" ?

6) What digital technologies/software do you use to produce art ?

7) What traditional mediums do you use to produce art ?

8) What factors affect your judgement when viewing or producing art ?

9) Where do you get your inspiration ?

10) What are you portraying in your art ?

11) What do you see as the future of art ?

12) When producing art, do you place emphasise on interactivity between viewer and artist rather than final product (please provide reason) ?

13) Would you be able to provide further assistance (The project will last up to 10 months) ?

14) Would you be able to take part in the questionnaire survey (in about 2 weeks) ?

15) Would you be able to take part in the focus group session (discussion group held on the internet, involving artists around the world) ?

16) Can you suggest any topics or areas of research that you have undertaken to gain an understanding of digital art ?

17) Can you suggest useful website links that you use for information or inspiration ?

18) Would you like to request a copy of the report ?

Thank you once again for taking the time to help me.
