[spectre] REMINDER: CFP International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media (IJPADM) Mixed Reality Performance

[azc at Cs.Nott.AC.UK]

Call for Papers The International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital 
Media (IJPADM) is seeking contributions to a special issue specifically 
relating to Mixed Reality and Performance.


Issue Editor: Alan Chamberlain (Mixed Reality Lab - University of 
Nottingham)

You are invited to submit full journal papers to the International Journal 
of Performance Arts and Digital Media (IJPADM) for a special issue on Mixed 
Reality and Performance. Mixed Reality performances have highlighted our 
ability to: exist, understand and concurrently engage with both virtual and 
real worlds in a performative way. The development of the technologies 
under-pinning such Mixed Reality systems have afforded performers, 
directors and developers the chance to create experiences that can both 
spatially and temporally explore the boundaries of performance and 
understand where and why performance occurs in everyday life. These 
experiences can exist in a multitude of realities, that not only blur the 
boundary between the real and the virtual, but also re-define the 
distinction between the roles of audience and performer, creating new 
audience/performer-based paradigms.

Although new technologies have furthered these possibilities, there are 
low-tech approaches that have explored the orchestration and directions of 
performance and used these mechanisms to convey experience, imbue presence 
and a sense of place.

Contributions may consider any of the following topics (although these are 
not prescriptive): full-length articles (ideally between 5000 and 8000 
words)
