Research and Knowledge Exchange
I have published research on the application of framing, space and multimodality to a variety of media texts including, news discourse, film (Allen and Goodall 2007) and Urban Screens (Allen 2008). Lately my work has concentrated on Augmented Public Spaces and in particular the use of large-scale LED screen displays in urban spaces. I develop research strategies that assist in the understanding of the medium; its impact on the urban environment; the investigation of curatorial practices and the management of artistic content.
