WORKSHOPS: Hacking Augmented Reality will explore some of the points raised during Mapping AR , with the exploration of new forms of creation and achieving independence from existing distribution structures, whilst bringing together cross-disciplinary discussions forming parameters of an interplay of  the condition of ‘seeing’. To achieve this, we will explore AR through engagement with hypothetical and real-world creative industry-led AR applications and tools and through making our own AR (plugged and unplugged). We will emphasise the cross-disciplinary mix of attendees, to create new discussions of interdisciplinary practice in initiating collaborative practice.

The Forum for Augmented Reality Immersive  Instruments is a two-day networking event to bring together University of Sussex cross-school faculty, research centres and labs, art organisations and creative industry expertise on Augmented Reality, technologisation and cultural transformation for new interdisciplinary research partnerships.


Augmented Reality technology - from Microsoft Hololens, Pokemon.Go to Augthat.com and Zspace.com - is newly emerging in areas such as education, entertainment and cultural memory. This new technology alters ways in which public communication and embodied expression are made possible as systems of control and feedback, as reality and virtuality merge seamlessly. 

 

The network event is designed to explore new forms of creation, experience and digital culture through tool and instrument-making , whilst achieving independence from existing distribution structures, and bringing together transdisciplinary discussions on condition of ‘seeing’ (Paul & Toolin 2014, p53) in the proposed following but not limited to areas:

 

. Audience participation/performativity and aesthetics in VR/AR environments 

. Instrument making, industry tools and ways of ‘seeing’, ‘consuming’, ‘producing’, ‘distributing data’

. AR technology and new languages, new grammars (based in access, performativity of the instrument) base in art, technology and embodiment.

. AR technology and artistic and architectural paradigms (Manovich, Lev. “The Poetics of Augmented Space.” Visual Communication 5.2 (2006): 219-240)

. Ethics and politics around AR (gaming, everyday life, access ), what it enables + revokes, promotes.

. AR and multisensory integration 

. AR interdisciplinary genealogies

. AR & wellbeing

. Theory and design that can draw from instrument-making, system-building, social architectural design.

 

These areas are broad enough to invite cross-disciplinary discussions towards interdisciplinary collaborations, as the workshop map out AR expertise and through collaborative ‘hacking’ AR, begins to create foundation towards interdisciplinary partnerships and practice.

​

The Forum for ARImI is led by Cécile Chevalier & Chris Kiefer in partnership with Kirk Woolford, University of Surrey. It is supported by the Doctoral School’s Researcher-Led Initiative (RLI) Fund,  Sussex Humanities Lab & EMuTe Lab.
