VVAA it's a gold mine ;)

Audio visual poetics in interactive multimedia
Scot McPhee


The purpose of this essay, bluntly put, is to ascertain a general structure that describes the audio-visual logic of multimedia in way that draws the question of sound, regarded here as including sonic as well as poetic logic, to the centre of the entire apparatus.

Sound + Image in Computer-Based Design: Learning from Sound in the Arts
Millicent Cooley


The performing arts has a long history of creating sound which makes a powerful impression on human perception and emotion, and has accumulated a rich body of theories and practical insights for how this is done. These theories and insights should be explored for their usefulness in improving sound design in software. The purpose of the research discussed in this paper has been to learn from the principles and practices of sound design in the performing arts, and to discuss and demonstrate ways in which some of these ideas might be helpful to designers of computer-based media and software.

DG1: IOTA

IOTA is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the art of light and movement. Our program celebrates its history and fosters the growth of the worldwide community of contemporary practitioners.

Over the years, the art of light and movement has been expressed in a wide range of media and techniques and has been called by a variety of names. In the world of film, for example, it's known as "Absolute Film" or "Abstract Animation," whereas in video art, it's referred to as "Video Synthesis" or "Image Processing." 

Many artists invented their own one-of-a-kind hardware to project moving imagery in a live performance. Each of these "Visual Music" instrument inventors gave the art their own name: "Lumia," "Mobilcolor," "Color Music," etc. 

Today this tradition continues in the development of visual music computer animation software such as "Electropaint," "Bliss Paint" and "The Music Animation Machine." 

iota was founded on the premise that this wide range of techniques and nomenclature share common aesthetic goals which unite them into a single art of light and movement.

CASLON ANALYTICS
Australian Consultancy about Internet research, analysis and strategies


A Caslon Analytics é uma instituição australiana que pesquisa, analisa e produz estratégia sobre a internet. Os seus guias gratuitos sobre temas e desenvolvimentos relacionadas com a internet são provavelmente a melhor fonte de recursos que encontrei até hoje online. Recomendo a consulta do guia sobre online design, onde se avaliam, por exemplo, questões relacionadas com a interacção, que serão pertinentes mesmo para quem vai desenvolver aplicações interactivas offline. Experimentem ainda o guia sobre electronic publishing ou mesmo sobre propriedade intelectual, o magnífico profile: print, reading and the book ou a media and communications timeline.

Bom trabalho
