XR: CIIRKES / Extraordinary Circus: Creative Immersive Interdisciplinary Knowledge ExchangeS

项目：XR：创意跨学科沉浸式知识交流-XR：CIIRKES/非凡马戏团。XR是目前用来指一系列当代沉浸式技术的术语，如VR/AR和360电影。在这种情况下，我们将其用于可能将一系列这些工具和技术与其他涉及数据和人类交互的技术结合在一起的项目中，以阐述新颖的体验。XR这个术语也被用来暗示这个项目的核心是创新和实验，因为它暗示了一个不同寻常的马戏团的概念。这个项目主要寻求解决这样一个问题：如果我们把擅长触觉、互动和身临其境的技术的学者与马戏团和街头艺术的导演和表演者聚集在一起，什么样的创新创意内容和具有情感影响力的观众体验才是可能的。将通过合作伙伴关系探讨另一个问题，即确定作为现场体验和数字产品的结果作品的潜在国内和国际市场和展览可能性。该项目将提供基础设施，以支持学术研究人员、技术人员和艺术家团队在一系列创造性的联合实验室中促进指导讲习班和工作室。这些实验室将为在马戏团和街头艺术活动设计中合作探索触觉、互动和身临其境的技术应用提供专业知识共享的环境。体验这些新的触觉、声波和可视化技术所提供的负担，将为创意人员和制片人提供一个机会，让他们获得特权、直接和得到良好支持的机会，获得这些技术的实验。这个项目将把这些工具和技术交到一个不同的策展艺术家群体手中，这些艺术家到目前为止参与的机会或机会有限。这个项目将汇集非凡的技能，马戏团和街头艺术家和制作人的专业知识和经验，以及对这些技术的直接试验：技能，如：-在身临其境的环境中操纵我们的凝视和情绪--启动和进行观众互动--对新机会的反应和在出现问题时即兴发挥--将技术设备整合到他们的表演中--更广泛的领域和更广泛的身体运动，包括通过空中和空中飞人的工作。马戏团和街头艺术的壮观和亲密的形式都提供了一个机会，让观众有机会看到独特的和以前从未见过的观众的观点和体验：例如，从空中秋千的顶部。项目合作伙伴-领先的参展商，资助者和策展人-将与我们合作，招募和管理适当的艺术技能和专业知识，以参与快速原型制作过程。参与者将在4个月的时间里一起工作，获得研究专业知识和技术支持，以迭代5个新颖的行为，这些行为将在最终的现场实验室以概念验证的形式展示-这是一个备受瞩目的活动，我们将在国际著名的布莱顿边缘音乐节会场--Spiegeltent举行，我们将其描述为“XR：CIIRKES-Cabaret of Curioics”。这将是正在进行的作品的公开表演，以了解观众体验，进一步测试现场事件捕捉技术。整个项目将以强有力的文献审查、项目和影响评估以及视觉文件为基础。该项目还将有一个进一步的目标，即提高人们对该部门潜力的认识和知名度，因此将伴随着一系列旨在提高知名度和参与度的新闻稿。

Project: XR: Creative Interdisciplinary Immersive Knowledge ExchangeS - XR: CIIRKES/Extraordinary Circus. XR is the term currently used to refer to a wide range of contemporary immersive technologies such as VR/AR & 360 film. In this context we use it for projects that might combine a range of these tools and techniques alongside other technologies involving data and human interaction in the elaboration of novel experiences. The term XR also used to evoke the innovation and experimentation at the heart of this project through allusion to a notion of 'an extraordinary circus'.The project primarily seeks to address the question of : What innovative creative content and emotionally impactful audience experiences are possible if we bring together academics specialising in haptic, interactive and immersive technologies with circus and street arts directors and performers. A further question will be explored through the collaborative partnership which is to identify the potential national and international market and exhibition possibilities for the resultant work as both live experiences and as digital products. The project will provide the infrastructure to support a team of academic researchers, technicians and artists in a series of creative co-laboratories - facilitated directive workshops & studios. These laboratories will provide the context within which expertise can be shared in the collaborative exploration of the application of haptic, interactive and immersive technology in circus and street art event design. Exposure to experimentation with the affordances offered by these new haptic, sonic and visualisation technologies will provide an opportunity for creatives and producers to be given privileged, direct and well-supported access to experimentation with these technologies. This project , will put these tools and techniques in the hands of a diverse curated group of artists that have had limited access or opportunity for engagement thus far. This project will bring together the extraordinary skills, expertise and experience of circus and street artists and producers in to the direct experimentation with these technologies: Skills such as: - Manipulating our gaze and emotions with an immersive environment- Initiating and conducting audience interaction- Responding to new opportunities and improvising when things go wrong- An integration of technical equipment within their performance- A wider realm and range of physical movements including 'flight' through aerial and trapeze work.Both the spectacular and intimate forms of circus and street arts provide an opportunity for unique and 'never-before-seen' audience views and experiences: for example from the top of a trapeze.The project partners - leading exhibitors, funders and curators - will collaborate with us on the recruitment and curation of an appropriate spreof artistic skills and expertise to participate in the rapid prototyping process. Participants will work together over a period of 4 months with access to research expertise and technical support to iterate 5 novel acts that will be exhibited in proof of concept format at the final Live Laboratory in the process - a high profile event which we are describing as the "XR: CIIRKES - Cabaret of Curiosities" which will take place at the internationally celebrated Brighton Fringe Festival venue - the Spiegeltent. This will be a public performance of the works-in-progress, in order to understand the audience experience and to further test the technologies of live event capture. The overall project will be underpinned by a robust literature review, project and impact evaluation and visual documentation. The project will also have a further objective to generate awareness and visibility for the potential of this sector and will therefore be accompanied by a series of press releases tailored at building visibility and engagement.
