Abstract

Renaissance Man  & PolyMath, Leonardo  da Vinci, brought the  arts and
the sciences together.  If you ask creative technologists what makes a
good film or game they will usually say it's all about the STORY: good
films and games  have, and make, good stories.  Stories have been with
us since  time began and used  for many purposes such  as passing down
histories, teaching, reminding and remembering, entertainment and even
wooing potential  partners.  Now Digital Stories are  at the forefront
of  creative arts  & technologies  and embrace  creative technologies,
cinematic arts, music, drama, design and dance.  Here, we will look at
some  examples  of  research   in  Digital  StoryTelling  and  open  a
discussion and brainstorm session on  how our AHRI CAT cluster and the
School of Creative Arts & Technologies can bring its subjects together
to develop  new Renaissance projects in  this interdisciplinary field,
which is now clearly blossoming, and be at its forefront.
