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

旁观者领域探索戏剧性的新方法来展示，询问和解释存档的图像。 该项目将参观者的身体沉浸在一个由用户激活的图像、声音和文本组成的“动荡”环境中，所有这些都相互参照和相互依赖，鼓励对文化收藏品和产生这些收藏品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;重复的，快速的原型设计导致测试展示;对用户体验的最终评论;对生成的知识的报告。 成果是理论和实践：报告提供新的知识;观众测试的显示和解释系统，可扩展到几个博物馆和建筑场景。

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.
