The International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media (IJPADM) is
seeking contributions to a special issue on Hybridity: The intersections
between Performing Arts and Science
Issue Editors: Mary Oliver (University of Salford) and Eirini Nedelkopoulou
(York St. John University)
At the McTaggart lectures in 2011, Erik Schmidt, Chief Executive of Google
proposed that the next great innovations in the digital field would only
come if the luvvy¹ and the boffin¹ begin to work together. Artists have
long been experimenting with and working alongside different scientific
fields, trying to explore the potentiality of such exchanges; indeed new and
applied technologies have often been implicitly embedded in these
collaborative ventures. Productive interactions between performance and
engineering, mathematics, neuroscience, biology and computer science bring
to our attention the question of how science(s) nourish(es), move(s) and
change(s) performance and performance studies.
This special issue engages with Erik Schmidt¹s challenge asking potential
contributors: how can we use such collaborations between performance and
science to expand the performance paradigm towards applications that are
world changing?
The International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media is
dedicating an entire issue on new interdisciplinary connections and
intersections between performance and science, as a creative and practical
tool that expands and supports the creative endeavors of digital practices
in art and performance, and also as a critical framework to discuss and
apprehend the impact of digital media arts on the human experience.
This timely discussion, prompted largely by developments in new media
technologies and the interpretation of performance as an expansive medium,
will highlight the growing number of collaborative interdisciplinary
relationships that are taking place with a wide spectrum of the sciences.
All submissions will be given due consideration. They could include (but are
not limited to) the following areas of investigation:
* Physical performance and Geometry: The (re)configuration of space. Moving
from corporeality into the virtual and vice versa.
* Arts and Neuroscience: New interpretations of human perception through
interactive performance.
* Theatre and Engineering: The impact of new communication systems on the
development of new performance paradigms.
* Performance and Medicine: The potentialities of accessing, transforming¹,
and modifying¹ the human body.
* Biology and Performing Bodies: The reformation of the performer¹s
identity¹ and ontology. The living and semi-living and their ethical
implications.
* Audience Participation and Computer Science: Burgeoning virtual
communities. The end of physical participation?
Essays should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words, and include images as
appropriate. We are seeking essays authored by practitioners, researchers
