Un Volcan Numerique 17 - 27 June 2009
Several works developed at the iCinema Centre for Interactive
Cinema Research have been selected for inclusion in the exhibition Un
Volcan Numerique in Le Havre, France. These include:
the ARC funded project T_Visionarium,
by Neil Brown, Dennis Del Favero, Matthew McGinity, Jeffrey Shaw
and Peter Weibel; Double
District, a collaborative project between Volker Kuchelmister,
Suburo Teshigawara of the KARAS dance company and Richard
Castelli of EPIDEMIC; and
Jean Michele Bruyère’s work La
Dispersion du Fils, realised as part of an iCinema Visiting
Fellowship, and inspired by iCinema’s unique immersive and interactive
environment, AVIE. This
work was developed in collaboration with Matthew
McGinity, iCinema’s
lead software engineer. The exhibition also showcases
work by iCinema director and co-founder Jeffrey Shaw, including The
Golden Calf and his and Sarah Kenderdine’s collaborative
work UNMAKEABLE LOVE.
Seconde Nature 7 July - 1 August 2009
The Seconde Nature exhibition
in Aix-en-Provence, France will include iCinema’s ARC funded project T_Visionarium,
by Neil Brown, Dennis Del Favero, Matthew McGinity, Jeffrey Shaw
and Peter Weibel, a work which provides immersive navigation of
a large scale database of visual information. The exhibition, utilising
iCinema’s
immersive environment AVIE,
will also include Jean Michele Bruyère’s La Dispersion du Fils,
a work realised as part of a visiting Fellowship at the Centre.
Bruyère’s
work, which was inspired by the potential uses of iCinema technology,
involves an interdisciplinary collaboration, lead by iCinema’s lead software
engineer Matthew McGinity. This work, along with T_Visionarium,
will showcase not only the experimental research conducted at the
Centre, but also the development of innovative, immersive and mixed
reality technologies.
