Curating performance installations

چکیده
In this paper we will examine the use of the digital screen display as a primary form of accessing information within the museum context. We will argue that this mode of dissemination, achieved primarily through a Graphic User Interface (GUI) though highly efficient in providing contextual support, can be detrimental to a wider sense of social interaction and engagement between visitors, both of which are recognised as key aspects of how we experience and learn within the museum. By using the Edward Gordon Craig: Space & Light exhibition held at the V&A Museum as a case study, we will explore the potential of a more performative mode of digital interactivity, whereby through notions of the re-enactment, a material reality can be constructed, based not on interpretation or objecthood, but oscillation and trajectory. As such, new perspectives and understandings can emerge through the activation and experience of the visitor within the museum, creating a more embodied sense of learning.

We introduce a new software tool called ShaderBase that facilitates using, sharing, and curating GLSL shaders in computational design, interactive arts, and data visualization. This tool is part of the Processing programming environment, an open-source project widely used for teaching and production in the context of media arts and design. Shaders are a crucial component in the development of l...
متن کاملLife Extension Issues for Ageing Offshore Installations
With many offshore installations in the UK sector of the North Sea now reaching or being in excess of their original anticipated design life, there is a particular need to evaluate approaches to structural integrity management by offshore operators. Ageing processes can affect the structural integrity of the installation and demonstration of adequate performance beyond its original design life ...
متن کاملRt-mediacycle : towards a Real-time Use of Mediacycle in Performances and Video Installations
This project aims at developing tools to extend the use of the MediaCycle software to live performances and installations. In particular, this requires real-time recording and analysis of media streams (e.g., video and audio). These tools are developed as patches for the Puredata (Pd) software [10] which is widely used by the artistic community. This project is a collaboration with the Belgian ...
