Why is it important?

CSC has pursued an approach in which the research methods of art, science and technology converge in common principles while also valuing the multiplicity and variety of knowledge. Such an approach is required by current developments in culture and technology and is particularly beneficial for research on digitally mediated human–computer and human–human interaction. Interactive art technology is a very suitable domain to experiment such integration.

Perspectives

This kind of research will increase the opportunities for artists, scientists, industries, cultural intermediaries and the public in new emerging forms of technology and creativity. In artistic performance, interactive technology can be linked with human-centered approaches, allowing the user to adjust, control or generate content. Interactive technology thereby encourages the application of expressive interactions elicited by new emerging forms of technology.
