| description | As a participant in the Tramway’s Winter School, I was involved in Belgian company CREW’s Glasgow production of 'U_Raging Standstill', an immersive performance for an individual spectator to move around virtual environments with the aid of multimedia as prosthesis. The performance allows one spectator (or ‘immersant’ as CREW refer to them) to ‘physically walk around in a live virtual surrounding’ while a viewing gallery allows others to watch the immersant’s experience. The environments are made up of either live feed or pre-recorded filmed space, as opposed to computer generated or simulated spaces and it is this synthesis of the live and the pre-recorded, the real and the virtual, human and machine, that will be the focus of this review. |
