Scope and content
File consists of three copies of an agenda for the summit held May 11-13, 2000 (one of which contains handwritten notes). The program description for the summit reads:
"Performing arts and performance provide an invaluable resource with which to examine next generation new media. They combine physical discipline with improvisation, narrative and provoke emotional experience for the artist, the participant and the recipient. The body in performance reminds us of our humanity and vulnerability. Emotional Computing explored meaningful as well as abstract strategies that bring together our understandings of presence and absence. Networked technologies such as microwave technology, internet architectures, satellite communications and neural nets are just a few examples of the available resource base for the arts of the future. Performers can work the magic between the live event and the virtual experience. They might play with responsive (smart) costumes and props or manipulate soundscapes and sets. The audience can be an instrument in interactive work.
This event explored and identified research issues in cross-disciplinary performing arts and new media. It continued Banff's discussions of intelligent software design and responsive architecture. Participants investigated educational applications and the development of ongoing research in this field. Lead presenters were international artists from theatre, choreography, music, design, computer science, engineering and performance theory. We worked at creating a vocabulary that is informed by the canons of performing, visual and media arts and the acquisitions of new media.
This event marked the Banff New Media Institute’s first public exploration of our Human Centered Interface Project. The research initiative was made possible through the support of The Alberta Science and Research Authority, in association with Telefilm Canada, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, The Canada Council for the Arts, The Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Silicon Valley North, sgi Canada, Montage IT Services Inc, University of California DARNET, Free Radicals Framework Five and other partners.
