I-HE(AR)^2 [I Hear Too] - Improving Heritage Experience through Acoustic Reality and Audio Research

如何将音频和声学研究应用于遗产材料和文物的解释、理解和表现？如何才能更好地为后代的研究人员和遗产游客保存这些音频材料？“I-HE(AR)^2-Live”将于2009年10月在约克大教堂及其周边地区举行，包括声音作品、装置、演示和音频互动，将展示科学/遗产研究的这些方面，并为未来的工作设定基准。I-HE(AR)^2- live是I-HE(AR)^2研究集群系列研讨会的高潮，突出了音频/声学研究和技术作为遗产体验核心组成部分的潜力。来自英国和国际的研究人员、从业人员、遗产利益相关者和潜在的行业合作伙伴将对此感兴趣，由于所选场地的性质和兴趣，确保该集群的工作在尽可能广泛的受众中传播，因此具有显著的额外公共利益。声音通常被认为是视觉刺激的差关系，但在传递信息以供听者快速吸收方面起着重要作用，并且是虚拟/增强现实应用的多模态感知的关键组成部分。I-HE(AR)^2的职责范围包括通过考虑声音物体（录音、声音档案、音乐、乐器）、建筑环境（建筑声学、考古声学、听觉化）、场地和景观（语境中的声音）来理解和保护遗产。所有这些元素都会随着时间的推移而发生变化，因此它们的音频/声学保存对于后代了解过去和它们的任何其他物质方面或属性一样重要。这方面的主要研究课题将会在I-HE(AR)^2的活动中讨论，包括在文物保存中使用录音和档案、修复、组织和查阅，以及现在需要记录哪些资料以供日后保存；虚拟声学现实和沉浸式声音作为保存和呈现新形式的声音和环境的手段；声音、声音艺术和档案录音作为获取、增进理解或体验遗产多样性的手段的作用；遗产声学研究的形式化及其适当的语境化的重要性；用音景向听众或更广泛的听众传达信息。为了进一步支持和传播该小组的工作，我们将提供可下载的播客，作为我们讲习班的产出，从而帮助提供我们自己保存的活动档案。通过这一工作计划，I-HE(AR)^2将促进音频如何用于保护、体验和研究遗产的阶梯式变化，并在项目结束时将社区聚集在一起，形成一个新的多学科研究流。

How can audio and acoustics research be employed in the interpretation, understanding and representation of heritage materials and artifacts? How might such audio materials be better preserved for future generations of researchers and heritage visitors? I-HE(AR)^2-Live, a programme of sound works, installations, demos and audio interactives to be held in and around York Minster in October 2009 will showcase these aspects of science/heritage research and set a benchmark for future work. I-HE(AR)^2-Live is the culmination of the I-HE(AR)^2 research cluster's series of workshops, highlighting the potential for audio/acoustic research and technology as a core component of the heritage experience. It will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, heritage stakeholders, and potential industry partners from across the UK and internationally, with significant additional public interest due to the nature of and interest in the chosen venue ensuring the dissemination of the work of this cluster across the widest possible audience.Sound is often considered the poor relation of visual stimuli, yet plays a significant role in conveying information for rapid assimilation by a listener, and is a key component in the multi-modal perception of virtual/augmented reality applications. The remit of I-HE(AR)^2 encompasses the understanding and preservation of heritage through the consideration of sound objects (recordings, sound archives, music, instruments), the built environment (architectural acoustics, archaeological acoustics, auralization), sites and landscapes (sound in context). All of these elements are subject to change over time and so their audio/acoustic preservation is just as important for understanding of the past by future generations as any of their other material aspects or properties.There are key research issues in this area that will be discussed as part of I-HE(AR)^2's activities, including the use of sound recordings and archives in heritage preservation, their restoration, organisation and access together with what to record now for future preservation; virtual acoustic reality and immersive sound as a means to preserve and render sounds and environments in new forms; the role of sound, sound-art and archival recordings as a means to access, enhance understanding, or experience the diversity of heritage; the importance of formalising acoustics research in heritage together with its proper contextualisation; the use of soundscape for conveying information to a listener or wider audience. To further support and disseminate the work of the cluster, downloadable podcasts will be made available as outputs from our workshops, thereby helping to provide our own preserved archive of activities. Through this programme of work, I-HE(AR)^2 will facilitate a step-change in how audio is used for preserving, experiencing and researching heritage, and by the end of the project will have brought together communities to form a newly focused stream of multi-disciplinary research.
