Smallworld at Loughborough and PhD
After the residency at UKC Bell moved to Loughborough University of Technology Computer-Human Interface Research Centre (LUTCHI) to study for a PhD, directed by Ernest Edmonds and supervised by Susan Tebby. Smallworld was used as a case study and was developed further in parallel with Bell's research. Originally proposed as research into "the interactive representation of complex dynamic data" the final title of the thesis was:
Participatory Art and Computers: Identifying, analysing and composing the characteristics of works of participatory art that use computer technology
There are two editions of the thesis, and some videos, which can be accessed from the links below
