Art, Simulation and Surgical Humanities

该提案响应了“文化中的科学”的重点通知，将手术外科视为科学和技术与个人和社会交叉的领域。虽然外科手术被广泛认为是一个科学领域，但理解这种交叉并不仅仅是科学的领域。该提案认为，艺术和人文学科可以提供手术话语中通常不存在的重要观点，提供丰富的相互作用的观点，以阐明围绕以患者为中心的护理与技术和科学需求之间的平衡的社会挑战和紧张局势。该提案汇集了来自艺术，人文和外科的专家，以探索手术室作为文化研究的复杂场所。通过发展“外科人文”的主题，该项目将探索艺术作为捕捉临床经验的多个维度的手段的潜力。由于实际手术的使用受到严重限制，沉浸式模拟将提供一个安全的环境，为这种探索提供一种新的表达媒介，建立在PI的开创性工作的基础上。低成本但高度逼真的手术环境（例如使用配备真实仪器和录音的充气手术室）可以重现实际手术的许多复杂性。作为一种教育和公众参与的方法，这项工作已经引起了广泛的兴趣。通过代表实际的临床事件，模拟可以重建与现实密切相关的东西（同时提供对伤害的保护），允许非临床医生“体验”并开始了解手术过程中发生的事情。然而，从更广泛的意义上说，它本身也可能提供一种新的表达媒介，允许艺术家以在真实的环境中无法想象的方式进行操纵和实验。通过视觉艺术家、音乐家和设计工程师的眼睛和耳朵来解释临床环境（与临床医生和患者密切合作），我们相信会产生新的理解。因此，我们的目标是利用模拟，教育，表演艺术，爵士乐，多模态符号学和工程设计方面的专业知识作为照亮外科社会文化实践的框架，在这个过程中，让参与者通过新的见解重新配置他们的专业实践，加深他们对自己领域的理解。据我们所知，沉浸式手术模拟的艺术表现潜力尚未得到系统的探索。这个项目将允许一群创新的艺术家，音乐家，社会科学家和外科医生探索手术模拟作为艺术媒介的创造潜力。一个多学科的合作网络将产生创新和非正统的方法，除了他们自己的艺术价值和兴趣，可能会提供重要的见解手术和我们更广泛的社会之间的复杂关系。3,070个字符

This proposal responds to the Science in Culture Highlight Notice, framing operative surgery as a domain where science and technology intersect both with individuals and with society. Although surgery is widely perceived as a scientific field, making sense of this intersection is not the province of science alone. This proposal argues that arts and humanities can provide crucial viewpoints that are usually absent within the discourses of surgery, offering a rich interplay of perspectives to illuminate societal challenges and tensions around the balance between patient-centred caring and the demands of technology and science. The proposal brings together experts from arts, humanities and surgery to explore the operating theatre as a complex site for cultural research. By developing the theme of 'surgical humanities', the project will explore the potential of art as a means of capturing multiple dimensions of clinical experience. Because access to actual surgery is severely limited, immersive simulation will provide a safe setting which offers the promise of a new expressive medium for such exploration, building on pioneering work by the PI. Low-cost yet highly realistic surgical environments (for instance using an inflatable operating theatre equipped with authentic instruments and recorded sounds) can recreate many complexities of actual surgery. This work is already giving rise to widespread interest as an educational and public engagement approach.By standing as proxy for actual clinical events, simulation can recreate something that closely reflects reality (while providing protection against harm), allowing non-clinicians to 'experience' and start to understand what happens during operations. In a wider sense, however, it may also offer a new expressive medium in its own right, allowing artists to manipulate and experiment in ways which would be unthinkable in the real environment. By interpreting the clinical setting through the eyes and ears of visual artists, musicians and design engineers (working closely with clinicians and patients), we believe that new understandings will be generated.Our aim is therefore to use expertise in simulation, education, performance art, jazz, multimodal semiotics and engineering design as a framework for illuminating the sociocultural practices of surgery, in the process allowing participants to deepen their understanding of their own domains by reconfiguring their professional practice through new insights. So far as we are aware, the potential of immersive surgical simulation for artistic expression has not been systematically explored.This project will allow a group of innovative artists, musicians, social scientists and surgeons to explore the creative potential around surgical simulation as an artistic medium. A multidisciplinary collaborative network will generate innovative and unorthodox approaches which, in addition to their own artistic value and interest, may offer important insights into the complex relationships between surgery and our wider society. 3,070 chars
