Daisy Abbott

I started my career researching digital culture and digitisation efforts across the world before moving into digital documentation of performing arts research. I worked as a digital curation advisor before moving to my current position as a research developer specialising in 3D digital documentation and visualisation technologies and methods, across the heritage, arts, and medical domains.

My background is in theatre, film and television studies (a first class MA(Hons) from the University of Glasgow) and Information Technology for the Humanities (an MSc with Distinction, also from the University of Glasgow).

My research interests span various aspects of the creation and continuing use of digital information. Specific areas of interest include: digital representations of ephemeral events, and how these representations affect performing arts scholarship and curation methodologies; interaction design; performed heritage; use of digital documentation in education or recreation and the development of new digital pedagogies; information retrieval; standards for digital arts and humanities; digital curation; serious games.
