Open ChrisFollows opened 7 years ago

ChrisFollows commented 7 years ago

The lead/team names

Proposal from Pete Maloney, Chelsea ISD

Number of others involved in the delivery (students, staff, industry, community groups or other Tate Exchange associates etc)

Loosely I am thinking a morning with two or three talks by invited guest and then some more open discussion and show and tell by Dmc members and others.

Title

Virtual Reality symposium

Short paragraph for context (what you will do) or if you are offering to be a part of the collective & join other projects, what you can offer etc.

  1. Virtual histories

History of VR - mapping the terrain. What were the contexts that shaped VR then and what are the new possibilities of interest to art and design? A potted history of simulation and immersion from 'the sword of Damocles' onward

  1. Virtual bodies

Looking at the body and identity in VR and what are the possibilities for art and design. Who are we and how are we represented? Who can we become. How does the body behave between here and there? How does it make us feel. What are the politics, ethics and rules for the virtual body?

  1. Virtual spaces

What are the nature of virtual space and what is the potential in art and design for content creation? Where are we? Where can we be? What can we do? How do we make v space? How do we design and engage with spatial narratives?

  1. Virtual economies

How will VR shape the opportunities in the future for art and design? How will we work and make money? What are the new roles that will appear? What does the virtual artist designer do to survive?

_How will the public get involved (invited participants, targeted audiences i.e schools, groups) _

Type of event it is (workshop, intervention, gathering, performance etc)

Key words to help identify themes

Equipment list (key kit you may need, large TV etc not guaranteed)

Methods of how you propose to develop your session which includes the wider Collective involvement & contributions, meet-ups

An image (not essential) that represents you project (with credit info) no need to send high res we will requests one if needed.

**Dates you are committing to, can be all: below dates or any you wish at this stage (12pm to 6pm):

I have been thinking about the VR symposium and thought we could deal with a theme each week. Between 11.00-13.00 on each Wednesday

Please ensure your proposal responds/relates to most of the below Tate Exchange Principles :

How is art making a difference to peoples lives and society?

  1. Inspire diverse audiences locally, nationally and internationally with new ways of engaging with Tate’s collection and art more broadly
  2. Invite and enable the audience to become collaborators in helping shape the programme, activities and outcomes.
  3. Embody the values of openness, generosity, risk and trust
  4. Make a connection to the annual Tate Exchange theme: Exchange
  5. Explore new ways of thinking about art, society, the museum and its changing relation to the public
