There were a number of projects exploring social dynamics within immersive pieces, including the special jury prize winner for the XR competition PROOF AS IF PROOF WERE NEEDED. This was a projection-based video project that featured video feeds from four different rooms in a home where a couple is searching for different objects. There are five audience members who are walking between rooms represented by a top-down blueprint of the home, and there's a computer vision system that's detecting where the most people are located and then showing the feed from that room. There are six speakers providing an ongoing Foley-based spatial audio narrative of sounds coming from different locations giving the audience a clue as to where they should investigate to puzzle together the cryptic narrative. The core mechanics felt SLEEP NO MORE-inspired where you move between different rooms to see different threads of a multi-threaded story, and you use your body to edit the experience. But instead of a single POV, it's abstracted into a collective social experiment where you have to collaborate with four other people in order to vote on what room video feed to watch. In the end, there's a lot of the story that remained a complete mystery to me until I had the symbolic dream logic decoded in my interview with co-director Ting Tong Chang and Blast Theory representative Anne Rupert. Here's the jury statement about this piece, "Spoiler Alert! The Special Jury Award Winner made us feel lost, frustrated and disconnected from each other. What started as a slow burn, turned into an unexpected connection and dance between space, story, technology and human behavior."

We're discussing AI and the arts, featuring Blast Theory with a discussion of their latest work 'Cat Royale' where an autonomous system attempts to create a cat utopia.Feature interview with Matt & Ju from Blast Theory recorded on May 11th 2023 Panel Discussion recorded on May 26th 2023 On the panel we have:Tim Smith-Laing Executive Master Programme Director of the Royal Academy of ArtsAli Hossaini a TAS artist in residenceSteve Benford, TAS Creative Lead, Founder of the Mixed Reality Lab at the University of Nottingham. Chat GPT summary when prompted to talk about the lionisation of art:"In summary, AI's role in making art more accessible is indeed a positive development. By removing barriers and providing opportunities for engagement, AI can contribute to a more inclusive and diverse appreciation of art, empowering individuals to explore and connect with the artistic world in ways they may have thought were unattainable."A few notes:Blast Theory: Blast TheoryCat Royale: Welcome to Cat Royale | Blast Theory 55mins Ali: Bach music mentions:Pablo Casals - Wikipedia Yo-Yo Ma - Wikipedia 1hr 8mins Tim: Lotus Eaters:Lotus-eaters - Wikipedia  Podcast Host: Sean Riley The UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS) Hub Website

Games and art have intersected at least since the early twentieth century, as can be seen in the Surrealists' use of Exquisite Corpse and other games, Duchamp's obsession with Chess, and Fluxus event scores and boxes--to name just a few examples. Over the past fifteen years, the synthesis of art and games has clouded for both artists and gamemakers. Contemporary art has drawn on the tool set of videogames, but has not considered them a cultural form with its own conceptual, formal, and experiential affordances. For their part, game developers and players focus on the innate properties of games and the experiences they provide, giving little attention to what it means to create and evaluate fine art. In Works of Game, John Sharp bridges this gap, offering a formal aesthetics of games that encompasses the commonalities and the differences between games and art. Sharp describes three communities of practice and offers case studies for each. "Game Art," which includes such artists as Julian Oliver, Cory Arcangel, and JODI (Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans) treats videogames as a form of popular culture from which can be borrowed subject matter, tools, and processes. "Artgames," created by gamemakers including Jason Rohrer, Brenda Romero, and Jonathan Blow, explore territory usually occupied by poetry, painting, literature, or film. Finally, "Artists' Games"--with artists including Blast Theory, Mary Flanagan, and the collaboration of Nathalie Pozzi and Eric Zimmerman--represents a more synthetic conception of games as an artistic medium. The work of these gamemakers, Sharp suggests, shows that it is possible to create game-based artworks that satisfy the aesthetic and critical values of both the contemporary art and game communities.

For the second episode of the Women Shaping the World Podcast, we discuss the fluid boundaries between online radical misogyny and extremist movements. The intoxicating nature of hateful online communities makes people, especially young men, susceptible to radicalisation, when they find the social life online that they lack in real life. While they might not be swayed by anti-semitic and racists rhetoric when they initially enter chat rooms, their isolation makes them easy prey to the discourse.  Researcher Julia Ebner went undercover and infiltrated these communities for more than a year. Her book, Going Dark: The Secret Social Life of Extremists out in paperback now, tells the fascinating and alarming story of her journey to the darkest corners of the internet. She will tell us about the mechanisms of recruitment and her personal experience when confronted with ideas and images whose violence is hard to stand as a young woman. After the break, Blast Theory's Ju Row Farr will tell us about the company's Operation Black Antler, a participatory theatre play where the audience is invited to go undercover and infiltrate a far-right group. Can culture create bridges to reach out to young people before they are radicalised?
