This includes performance works, time-based media, installation art, online collections and display solutions for museums.

- apply an interdisciplinary understanding and approach to conserve the histories surrounding objects using new media;
- use a range of media tools to build production pathways for documenting, editing, displaying and archiving cultural forms and process;
- review ideas and programs generated by non-governmental organisations, community-based art centres and businesses promoting cultural heritage practice;
