Dome Fugue v1.0:

1.30: Sunday 24 February 2008. The Immersive Vision Theatre and i-DAT present the ‘Dome Fugue v1.0’. This is a specially commissioned sonic experience to celebrate the re-birth of the William Day Planetarium as a transdisciplinary instrument for the manifestation of material, immaterial and imaginary worlds. This pre-launch rendering of the ‘Dome Fugue v1.0’ will be performed in the Full Dome using its cutting edge spatialised sound system and accompanied by immersive generative visualisations. ‘Dome Fugue v1.0’ has been composited by i-DAT, researchers in the Nascent Art & Technology Research Group and The Immersive Vision Theatre ‘Domies’. The piece lasts 23 minutes 56.0409053 seconds, a scaled down sidereal period (a single rotation of the Earth relative to the stars). The Dome has seating for 35 people. The newly developed Immersive Vision Theatre was brought to life by the Experiential Learning CETL (Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning) under the direction of Dr Ruth Weaver. The future management of the Dome lies with the Centre for Creative Design and Technology, a cross faculty (Arts & Technology) initiative and a transdisciplinary catalyst for innovation to influence the evolution of new creative design practices and strategies.
Dome Fugue v1.0 is part of ‘Voices III’ the Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival 2008. Friday 22 – Sunday 24 February 2008. http://cmr.soc.plymouth.ac.uk/event.htm

The Vivaria Project employs the metaphor of the Zoo to examine artificial life forms, creativity and the relationships between humans, animals and machines. Vivarium is being funded by the Arts Council of England for its research and development phase to initiate a live networked display of artificial life-forms in European Zoos. It builds upon current research interests and the artistic practice of many artists associated with CAiiA-STAR, as well as a current on-line research project EZITT (European Zoos Information Technology Training Project), funded by the Leonardo da Vinci EU Programme. Vivarium seeks to contemporise the C19th century notion of the Zoo and productively employs the Zoo as metaphor to understand some of the complexities and conditions under which animals, humans and machines are classified and differentiated. 2003
