Philosophy and cultural theory of vjing and realtime interaction
If you've been looking for ideas around VJing, Interactive art or any real time interaction processes, then you've found the right web page. Here the questions which are faced every day by practitioners are 'unpicked' by some of the foremost academics and VJs/Artists working today. This section of vjtheory.net is specifically about the forthcoming book. Here you will find extracts of articles to be published in the book and, in phases 2 and 3 of the project, experimental and collaborative works, comments and dialogues about the articles and responses by the authors. Full articles, which do not appear in the book, are available in the project/community part of the site (the red pages). Here you'll also find links to other work which relates to the subject areas, such as the philosophical traditions which are drawn upon by contributors in their articles. Given the predominantly 'digital media' qualities of the area, a book might be seen as a strange contribution to the material available. However, a recurring theme at related festivals and symposia is the lack of useful academic texts which explore the questions faced by practitioners when examining their own or others practice. These include: Ethical and political contexts and appropriate analytical tools to examine them. Textual and Experiential contexts and the relationship between work/performer and the audience. This also engages in psychoanalytic and social perspectives as tools of analysis. The philosophical perspectives used by contributors are very broad and present a good overview of appropriate methods and ways to work through the questions these practices raise. Contributors also touch upon areas such as connectivity and collaborative working and the roles of a variety of 'open source' approaches to licensing work. This is phase one of the project. New material will be posted regularly up to and after the date of publication for the book. |
