A number of interventions/experiments/scenarios will be implemented.
They question the characteristics of (mixed media) interaction from various perspectives.
Each scenario will be appropriately documented.
The Performance Platform inside the Digital Bauhaus Lab is a laboratory in which different forms of interaction can be tested.
Besides its technical benefit for artistic and scientific research it defines an isolated and unique environment of ubiquitous high-tech
technology in seemingly „empty space“.
This project explores the Performance Platform as a site of our „physical reality“ as well as its role of a contemporary laboratory.
Fields of interest:
Interaction
- what makes interaction happen?
- how can "equal" communication be accomplished?
- who/what is in control of whom/what?
Technology
- how can the virtual affect the physical?
-> humans as a medium for change though the virtual?
- can technology be something (else than a means to an end)?
Laboratory
- abstraction and limitation
- inside / outside, theory and practice
