Abstract

This cross-disciplinary Symposium and Exhibition brought together practice-led research from the cultural and creative industries sectors to explore ways of extending and expanding the body through new and emerging modalities and technologies. This created a network gathering of artists, creative industry experts and academics investigating and exchanging knowledge on the current state of the intersection between our embodiment, our senses and the technologies of today. Running alongside the Symposium in the Stephen Lawrence Gallery and Project Space we presented the Extended Senses Exhibition, showcasing a range of diverse innovative creative works emerging from within this crossover, focussing primarily on our living bodies as the key site of knowledge production. Explorations within immersion, haptic engagement and body interfacing were included, showing inspiring methodologies for our future understanding of the hybrid blending of the virtual and the physical. Artworks included interactive installations, VR and AR experiences, digital video, animation, films and an online performance, together creating innovative interactions of the body with sound, light and image.

"Both the Symposium and Exhibition were aimed at enabling a first gathering of practitioners and researchers to explore the ways in which the human body, as the primary site of knowledge production, is extended and expanded through new and emerging modalities and technologies. The events were designed to encourage and nurture networking, knowledge exchange and a deepening of understanding of where practise-led research fits into the cultural and creative industries landscape, a landscape which has fast evolved in the last 5 years into accepting that the body is indeed the prime interface for digital technologies in the 2020’s and onwards. The combined participation of artists, creative industry experts and interdisciplinary academics ensured that the exchange of knowledge and ideas in this area reflected the most current state of the intersection between our embodiment, our senses and the technologies of today." This Symposium and Exhibition was part of knowledge exchange outputs from the School of Design and the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Greenwich.
