项目摘要

Aims and objectives:Research objectives lie in the generation of ideas, processes and concepts through new media art practices, which allow for rethinking the role of 1nformation visualisation' apparatus, beyond their current purpose as generators of technical images for the purpose of data analysis.These objectives have the following aims:i) To produce new media artworks, exhibitions and texts, that enables scientific processes of information visualisation to be relocated within wider critical and aesthetic frameworks.ii) To explore how new media artists negotiate the different understandings of the role and function of representational images in the visual arts, verses the production and understanding of technical images in scientific disciplines of information visualisation.iii) To develop new media art projects, through experimental approaches to the production of visual interfaces to underlying data sets, which enable audiences' conceptual, aesthetic and critical points of entry into debates pertaining to information visualisation apparatus and their wider cultural significance.iv) To identify what is required in terms of staging and contextualising knowledge for audience understanding o new media artworks concerned with information visualisation, in exhibition and installation situations.The context of the researchThis study brings together understandings of two fields: new media art and the scientific discipline of information visualisation. Discourses in new media art are currently dominated by debates concerning interactivity and/or the Internet, however, little research exists that specifically looks to the role played by the image in information visualisation disciplines, an emerging medium that seeks to understand the world through the generation of interactive animated images based on quantified abstract data (typically measurements from stock market behaviours or climate change).New media art and information visualisation disciplines share a common purpose because they seek to understand the world through the generation of interactive animated images. However, whereas new media art is informed by contemporary critical understandings of the image from art theory (as a conceptual or multivalent image that exists in a chain or dialogue of interpretations), information visualisation disciplines generally do not allow for their images to have divergent or multiple readings, because their primary technical and conceptual aim is to enable clear analysis of the underlying quantitative data.The significance of the proposed research lies in how it will bridge the differing conceptions of the image between the disciplines. It will generate new knowledge by relocating the processes, technologies and images of information visualisation within critical understandings of the image as understood in new media art practice (i.e. as a form whose meaning shifts in relation to differing audience and wider historical, social and cultural contexts). In doing so, the project complements and extends existing knowledge of the subject areas in which it is situated because it: Contributes to and expands the practices of new media arts; Contributes to ideas concerning the function and meaning of the image in visualisation technologies; Discusses how information visualisation images may be repurposed within existing art practices in order to inform innovative representational strategies for new media art.Potential applications and benefitsIn addition to informing the theory and practice of new media art, potential applications include:a. Knowledge transfer of research to students in higher educational contexts and members of the public (via public exhibition, the website and lectures).b. Production of ideas that will inform academic debates pertaining to the intersection of art and science.c. Contribution to debates concerning the processes and objects of practice-based research.Research benefits also accrue for the following national and international audiences:1. The University of Westminster's research environment which has an international reputation for cutting edge research into critical applications of new media technologies.2. Art and design practitioners, academic researchers, educators and critics interested in new media art, and cultural approaches to scientific processes.3. National and international members of the art-going public interested in new media art.4. Funding and commissioning bodies that promote good practice and research in areas in which art and design intersects with technology (e.g. The Arts Council, AHRC, British Council, EPSRC).

目的和目标：研究目标在于通过新媒体艺术实践产生想法，过程和概念，这允许重新思考信息可视化设备的作用，超越其目前作为数据分析目的的技术图像生成器的目的。这些目标有以下目标：i）制作新媒体艺术作品、展览和文本，使信息可视化的科学过程能够在更广泛的批评和美学框架内重新定位。ii）探索新媒体艺术家如何协商对视觉艺术中具象图像的作用和功能的不同理解，在信息可视化的科学学科中，生产和理解技术图像。iii）开发新的媒体艺术项目，通过实验方法生产底层数据集的视觉界面，使观众的概念，关于信息可视化装置及其更广泛的文化意义的辩论的美学和关键切入点。iv）确定观众理解与信息可视化有关的新媒体艺术作品的舞台和背景知识方面所需的内容，在展览和装置的情况下。研究的背景这项研究汇集了两个领域的理解：新媒体艺术和信息可视化的科学学科。新媒体艺术的话语目前主要是关于交互性和/或互联网的辩论，然而，很少有研究专门关注图像在信息可视化学科中所扮演的角色，一种新兴的媒介，试图通过基于量化的抽象数据生成交互式动画图像来理解世界新媒体艺术和信息可视化学科有一个共同的目的，因为它们试图通过生成交互式动画图像来了解世界。然而，尽管新媒体艺术是由当代艺术理论对图像的批判性理解所告知的，（作为存在于解释链或解释对话中的概念或多价图像），信息可视化学科通常不允许其图像具有发散或多重解读，因为它们的主要技术和概念目标是能够对潜在的定量数据进行清晰的分析。拟议研究的意义在于如何将弥合不同学科之间对图像的不同概念。它将通过重新定位信息可视化的过程，技术和图像来产生新的知识，这些图像在新媒体艺术实践中被理解为图像的批判性理解（即作为一种形式，其意义随着不同的观众和更广泛的历史，社会和文化背景而变化）。在这样做的过程中，该项目补充和扩展了它所处的主题领域的现有知识，因为它：有助于并扩大新媒体艺术的实践;有助于有关视觉化技术中图像的功能和意义的想法;讨论如何在现有的艺术实践中重新利用信息可视化图像，以便为新媒体提供创新的表现策略除了为新媒体艺术的理论和实践提供信息外，潜在的应用包括：a.向高等教育背景下的学生和公众传授研究知识（通过公开展览、网站和讲座）。产生的想法，将告知有关艺术和科学的交叉学术辩论。对有关实践研究的过程和对象的辩论作出贡献。研究成果也为以下国家和国际受众带来好处：1.威斯敏斯特大学的研究环境在新媒体技术的关键应用方面享有国际声誉。艺术和设计从业者，学术研究人员，教育工作者和批评家感兴趣的新媒体艺术，和文化的方法来科学的过程。对新媒体艺术感兴趣的国内和国际艺术爱好者。4.在艺术和设计与技术交叉的领域促进良好做法和研究的资助和委托机构（例如艺术理事会、澳大利亚人权委员会、英国理事会、EPSRC）。
