Artist-in-Residence, Exertion Games Lab [XGL]

I bring unique expertise in arts-led-research and human-aquatic performance to collaborate with Prof. Floyd Mueller, Director of the Exertion Games Lab and world-leading designer of Exertion Games. As a member of the lab, I focus on the development of design research, concept and implementation of a bodily game; practical application and empirical feedback on formal research on exertion games; and research on enhancing, and extending the human performance experience underwater. My research with the Exertion Games Lab will advance Australia’s interdisciplinary research on wellbeing by creatively bringing into dialogue notable scholars whose work traverses cutting-edge design, social sciences, sports sciences, computer sciences and the humanities. This work will also integrate new interdisciplinary research with bold analysis and designs, to build informed public engagement. Furthermore, experimental outcomes assist in the refinement of collaborative methodologies and purposefully inform the scope of future collaborative investigations with Prof. Mueller to advance new Discovery in Aquatic play. The following outlines practical research highlights collaborating with Prof. Floyd Mueller and the Exertion Games Lab, RMIT University, Melbourne AU.
