research overview

  • Mr. Clark's research and creative interests have grown beyond traditional documentary practice to incorporate new modes of content delivery and experiential storytelling. Virtual reality, projection mapping, photogrammetry, full dome planetarium production workflow and experiential design have constituted the majority of his research and creative efforts during his time at the University of Colorado Boulder. He is interested in new methods of interactive storytelling and how they can be combined with traditional documentary practice. Using these ideas, he is working to redefine how artists, designers and audiences understand their world.
