Professor Standley’s research is driven in two areas: Pedagogical design for the study of Foundations of Art and Design and the creation, production and exhibition of artworks. The two are joined in the area of Creative Technologies, encompassing the exploration of visual digital multimedia and the investigation of technology in relation to the social and vocational sectors of contemporary Fine Arts. His recognition of technological efficiency is equally engaged in curriculum design and creative scholarship. He is one of eight members of the Digital Art Research Collective of Virginia Tech that created the collaborative new-media installation Revo:oveR exhibited at the grand opening of the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke. The new-media installation Cyrene Reefs, produced in collaboration with Professor Ico Bukvic and SOVA B.F.A. student Bryan Lawson, was exhibited in the 9th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) at the Regina Gouger Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University.
