Description:
In this open symposium, panel members will discuss the possibility of Networked Virtual Environment for choreography with mixed reality design. With this enironment, participants of this research exchange project between Japan and the UK/Europe are producing the choreographic installation "Ukiyo" in 2009-2010. "Ukiyo" is a cross-cultural networked collaboration for the digital live arts of the next generation.
This research project is funded by a PM12 Connect/British Council Grant, and a RDF (Brunel University) grant, and is supported by an award from The Japan Foundation. Special thanks to Christian Kracht, author of "Ich werde hier sein im Sonnenschein und im Schatten".
