INTERACTIVE CINEMA AND LIVE A/V PERFORMANCE

Live, generative and improvised art is intrinsic to the human condition, expressing and sharing momentary experience, exploring means of communication and interaction and including activities that investigate new techniques and technologies.  Live, improvised and interactive cinema is an expanding area of production and research that encompasses momentary lived and shared experiences.  Interactive cinema embodies participation, reciprocity and the immediacy afforded interactive media.

Digital technology can also be viewed as influencing media production from two interrelated streams, the virtual and the physical.  On one end is the simulation of content virtually via the computer and on the other is how media extends out, through physical interfaces, from the input of sensors, into material experience.  Interactive cinema and VJ practices incorporate both the expressive potential of simulated content, as well as how content extends into and interfaces with our physical experience.

SOCIAL INTERACTIVITY

Socially interactive media and technologies are immediate, co-evolving, participatory, communicative, reciprocal, embodied and collaborative meta-design systems.  As social technologies change, there is an ever more complex trajectory for media that encourages collective creativity and a medium that renders artifacts of this social or collective experience. This context requires that art embraces the lived, daily experience of people, becoming accessible, yet with an honest and challenging approach.
