Projects

These are some past and present projects that have produced public domain results

Bill Sharpe leads this project for the  International Futures Forum.  It is exploring new conceptual models for the support of arts in society by considering them from the pespecitve of an multiple economies operating in our cultural ecosystem.  See the new book Economies of Life.

Pervasive Media Studio

Through The Appliance Studio Bill was a founding member of the Mobile Bristol research consortium that pioneered new uses for the emerging generation of pervasive media.  As a result of that programme a new initiative - the Pervasive Media Studio - has been launched that will pioneer new digital media through action research.  Bill Sharpe is linking this to the research into the ecology of the arts by taking on the role of 'ecologist in residence' at the Watershed where the Studio is based.

Bill Sharpe was a member of the Executive Committee for euCognition, an EU Coordination Action for research into artificial cognitive systems.  He continues as member of EuCogII collaborating on investigations in the enactive approach to cognition.
