KILKENNY -- We have a fine art course running in Ormonde College where elements of multimedia enter the classroom discussion. And we have students sitting in a multimedia degree course in Tipperary Institute where they use multimedia. I wonder if both courses share the same definition of multimedia?
Google's approved web definition comes from Get Net Wise where multimedia is "Information presented in more than one format, such as text, audio, video, graphics, and images." I remember working in Arthouse in the mid-90s when the Irish Art Council awarded grant money to a joint submission that conceptualised multimedia as a mixture of sculpture, textiles on the wall, and paintings. We have evolved from that.
Google -- 924,000 definitions of multimedia and we land in the top 10 for "define multimedia."
