Exploring spectatorship and user experience through acts of adornment, embodiment, personification and intra-active phygital impressions within mixed realities. The performance will consist of a musical composition by XR performer and researcher dr. Ine Vanoeveren in dialogue with an Ornamutations avatar in virtual reality. Both Ine's perspective as well as an experimental text consisting of a poem written in collab with ChatGPT and a variety of scientific references are projected and can be experienced by the audience whose presence and participation, in the form of adopting different viewpoints, will be central to reflections on active x passive spectatorship debates and how this might be questioned and challenged in Extended Reality (XR). | Keywords: | performance;mixed reality;phygital;intra-action;avatar;virtual reality;embodiment | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/39859 | Link to publication/dataset: | https://www.ritcs.be/nl/agenda/conditions-spectatorship-interdisciplinary-symposium-artistic-research | Discipline: | multidisciplinair | Research Context: | "The one-day symposium Conditions of Spectatorship explores (in) how (far) artistic (research) practices can challenge this ‘politics of spectatorship’ (Claire Bishop) in order to disturb the divide between active and passive. It triggers a fundamental reflection on the conditions and the conditioning of creation and reception of what we call ‘content’ today. Consequently, it addresses the ethical and political-ideological responsibility of artists, collectives and researchers, which is inextricably bound with basic questions such as: from where do we speak, from where do we see (or hear) or from where do we show? Every act of spectating is thus determined by a specific spatio-temporal context. In this vein, the campus of RITCS School of Arts (Brussels) will function as a locus for intervention, reflection and conversation. At a scripted pace and rhythm, the spectator (listener) will circulate through the building. The specific architectural parameters of RITCS will be used as a tool to explore and question conditions of spectatorship. In this process, multiple presentation formats such as lectures, lectures-performances, workshops, screenings or performances will be probed. These forms and formats will enable artistic researchers from the most diverse disciplines (music, theater and performance, visual arts, film, etc.) to put to the test the artistic strategies with which they manipulate the power dynamics inherent to spectatorship. We receive, hear, see, access and interact with the world through a myriad of tools and modes of presentation. The democratization of these very tools enables us to use and create, receive and diffuse content, to comment on it, to have a point of view. It fosters the idea we’re at the same time consumer, spectator, producer, player and performer. The question is, however, if this model of interactivity isn’t an illusion. Is ‘a sense of powerlessness’ - or passivity - not ‘one of the primary conditions’ of spectatorship or - to put it more bluntly - of ‘docile spectatordom’ (Samuel Weber)?" | Related Info: | RITCS School of Arts, Brussel PXL-MAD School of Arts, Hasselt Koninklijk Conservatorium, Brussel Brussels Arts Platform |
