The BYSTANDER FIELD: immersive 'feedback' environments for exhibiting and dramatically interacting with semiotic, aesthetic and emotional patterns in archived imagery.

旁观者领域调查了展示、审问和解释存档图像的戏剧性新方法。该项目让参观者身临其境地沉浸在一个由用户激活的图像、声音和文本的“动荡”环境中，这些图像、声音和文本都是相互参照和相互依赖的，该项目鼓励人们对文化收藏和产生它们的社会进行互动理解。 研究方法是迭代和进化的：对现有文献、设计和技术的批评；导致测试展示的重复、快速的原型制作；对用户体验的最终批评；关于产生的知识的报告。 成果是理论和实践的：提供新知识的报告；经过观众检验的展示和解释系统，可以扩展到几个博物馆学和建筑场景。

The BYSTANDER FIELD investigates dramatic new ways to exhibit, interrogate and interpret archived imagery. Immersing visitors bodily in a 'turbulent' environment of user-activated images, sounds and texts, all cross-referenced and inter-dependent, the project encourages interactive comprehension of cultural collections and the societies that spawned them. The research method is iterative and evolutionary: critique of existing literature, designs and technologies; repeated, rapid prototyping leading to test-exhibit; final critique of user-experience; report on knowledge generated. Outcomes are theoretical and practical: reports delivering new knowledge; audience-tested systems of display and interpretation which are scaleable to several museological and architectural scenarios.
