CHAPTER THREE – THE MODEL
Step 5. Network summaries
Step 5. Network summaries
The user can also request overall summaries of a given network. This information would be presented graphically, such as the examples of Figures 5.19 Visual representation of the graphical presentation of the IDAP Network Events, 5.20 Visual representation of the graphical presentation of the IDAP Primary Network 2010–2013, 5.21 Visual representation of the graphical presentation – IDAP Network Primary Value Proposition data 2010–2013, 5.22 Visual representation of the graphical presentation of the IDAP Network 2010–2013 Target Discipline areas data, and 5.23 Visual representation of the graphical presentation of the overall summary data for IDAP Primary Network 2010–2013.

Figure 5.20 Visual representation of the graphical presentation of the IDAP Primary Network 2010–2013 program, offers a summary overview of the audience types (as defined by the KPIs) who were engaged through the IDAP Primary Network 2010–2013. This data indicates a balanced approach to the use of partnership opportunity, as it demonstrates that all audience types were considered and catered for. Equally, Figures 5.21 Visual representation of the graphical presentation – IDAProjects network primary value proposition data 2010–
2013, and 5.22 Visual representation of the graphical presentation of the IDAP Network 2010–2013 Target Discipline areas data, demonstrate the key value of the partnership and engagement with the creative industries discipline areas. In consideration of the balance indicated in Figure 5.21 Visual representation of the graphical presentation – IDAProjects Network Primary Value Proposition Data 2010–2013, a strong future partnership proposal

might be one that focused on engagement with higher degree research, and the showcasing of QUT’s student, research and alumni.

Figure 5.23 Visual representation of the graphical presentation of the overall summary data for IDAP Primary Network 2010–2013, condenses the diversity and richness of the program into statistical KPI servicing. This type of data presentation quickly indicates the wealth and value of the program. The summary overview can also be cross-‐referenced to partnership agreements, and exhibition and engagement proposal check-‐sheets, to ensure intentions were achieved. Such additional information could be included in the platforms database.
Correspondingly, with the introduction of robust feedback and survey systems, to
complement the current counting of feet-‐through-‐the-‐door reporting mechanism, a stronger evaluation of the network outcomes could also be accommodated in the platform.
The platform user can also engage the program information via the criteria hubs. The following example illustrates Animation through the Creative Industries Discipline Areas criteria hub. This network was also initiated and supported by the IDAP partnership.

TARGETED CIF DISCIPLINE AREA -‐ ANIMATION
Step 1. Identify the network
Platform user activates the Target Discipline – Animation, and the network is highlighted.
The Animation network is represented via blue Containers and lines of connection (Figure 5.24 Visual representation of the graphical presentation of the highlighted Animation Network situated in the 2010–2013 CIP Program).
Step 2. Single out the network
The Animation network is singled out through isolating it from all other networks (Figure 5.25 Visual representation of the graphical presentation of the Animation network isolated from the overall 2010–2013 CIP program), offering an at-‐a-‐glance overview of the program network separated from the broader programming ecology. Whilst Figure 5.25 Visual representation of the graphical presentation of the Animation network isolated from the

overall 2010–2013 CIP program, isolates the network from the broader program, it remains attached to the activity streams foundation.
This visual presentation of the network communicates the strategy of a program that builds communities and audiences on triggers of experience across a range of streamed activities.
This network started with an activity native to Animation – the screenings of works. The CIP team curated a number of screening events at QUT and internationally. These activities were then leveraged in 2012 to instigate the pilot of Mondo Motion (2012 – ongoing) – a public programs series. Since its inception, this network approach has been building an audience of: sector professionals (as participants, presenters and mentors), animation students (as participants and workshop facilitators) and a wider interested public (including school programs and general public). The network of events was designed to eventually corral a now burgeoning, interest-‐based community into engaging with a major professional show ANtIMATION (2014). The ANtIMATION exhibition brings the investigational and
interdisciplinary nature of experimental Animation practice to the fore, acknowledging the

rich history and current practitioners who are pushing the boundaries between art, film and media technology. As well as the role of artist animators in a space that expands well
beyond the commercial main stream of Disney and Pixar. ANtIMATION broadens the discourse of animation and engages the community with local and international luminaries in the field of experimental animation, and invigorates the ongoing Mondo Motion
engagement series.
