NTEU Lecture 2012, David Williamson AO, “Living dangerously: The future of creative arts education in Australian universities".
Fremantle, WA, 15 Nov 2012.
I went to a lecture on designing sustainable services, such as food access and distribution initiatives. Interesting because when I think about sustainable design I usually think of physical structures, yet the lecture imparted that services too need to start being designed in a sustainable manner also.

A business-as-usual future is unsustainable. As we come to appreciate the challenges of climate change it is clear that the task of creating a sustainable economy requires more than incremental improvements in environmental efficiency, it demands radical innovation.
Francois Jégou is the first visitor in a series bringing leading international thinkers on eco-innovation to Australia: "ECO-LEAD" (organised by Sustainability Victoria and the Victorian Eco-Innovation Lab - VEIL).
Jégou is an important European designer; he is also a European expert in sustainability strategies. His expertise is derived from understanding that ideas of, and solutions for, sustainability are complex transformations that take place between multiple stakeholders, involving both social and technical innovation.
The art of being a strategic sustainable designer is to understand, hear and consider all stakeholder voices in the innovation process.
Francois work has focused on user-centred innovation, and design-oriented scenario development, envisaging new ways for companies to interact with consumers to create and instigate radical product innovation. In a similar way to the VEIL project, Jégou uses scenarios to investigate unknown outcomes and to provide an understanding of radical changes that may take place in the future. He is a partner with Ezio Manzini (a future ECO-LEAD visitor) in the global project known as "The Sustainable Every Day" which brings together visions of a sustainable future from extensive workshops in more than 18 countries.
Francois works from the top down and bottom up, looking at how small and medium enterprises can, through partnerships with other stakeholders and their clients (users), 'co-design' for sustainable futures, and create ‘new’ innovation opportunities. His participatory design methods help all stakeholders think outside of the box and understand solutions from multiple stakeholder views (company and user). Francois also understands that business cannot devise ‘new’ eco-innovation without consumer adoption. Thus much of his work is bottom up, searching social innovations to recognise new possibilities for the creation of sustainable lifestyles and the consequent products and services innovation, that may co-evolve.
Jégou has been working in sustainable production and consumption as a designer for many years and brings experience and thinking of many of the European union and UNEP funded research projects on product-service-systems, product innovation and sustainable consumption. This work has crossed many different sectors such as eco-packaging, health systems, senior friendly products, food design, and workplace design, involving practice-based work and research investigation. His extensive and diverse client base includes: EDF; MasterCard; Carrefour; Monprix; 3M; Boch; Ikea; Sony; Zanussi; KPN Orange; Roche Consumer Health; Saab; BMW; Coca-Cola; Douwe Egberts; Commune di Milano; Société de Developpement de la Region Bruxelloise.
VEIL is supported by the Sustainability Fund and the Victorian government, as a project of the Australian Centre for Science Innovation and Society at the University of Melbourne, in partnership with Monash University and RMIT.

The Persian Tar is a Lute which originated in 18th century (there is also a frame drum with the same name). The body is a double-bowl shape carved from mulberry wood, with a thin membrane of stretched lamb-skin covering the top. It has three double courses of strings, and is played with a brass plectrum. The instrument has an important role in Persian classical music.
Tars (the bowl lute version) are assigned the number 321.321-6 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
3 = Chordophone. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
32 = Composite Chordophone. Acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments which have a resonator as an integral part of the instrument, and solid-body electric chordophones.
321 = Lutes. Instruments where the plane of the strings runs parallel with the resonator’s surface.
321.3 = Handle Lutes. Instruments in which the string bearer is a plain handle.
321.32 = Necked Lutes. Instrument in which the handle is attached to, or carved from, the resonator, like a neck
321.321 = Necked Bowl Lutes. Instrument with a resonator made from a bowl, either natural or carved.
321.321-6 = Strings vibrated by a plectrum.
Digital Art is a platform that investigates the possibilities of computational algorithms and sometimes internet-related technologies on artistic and cultural practice. Artists start working with the chosen medium from 50s in western art history and it includes video & sound art, net/ telematics art, multimedia theater performance, generative & software art, new media installation and robotics art.
Annie On Ni Wan, currently a visiting research scholar at Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University, will discuss theoretical and historical background in Digital Art, in addition to various art projects as a series of artistic systems, an engagement of shared scheme between theory, art practice, technology and science.
