2020 Technologies for Entertainment, Art, and Culture: A Speculative Vision

Beskrivelse

The year is 2020. The ‘Abilitation of Art' project that began in 2008 has been completed. Sense-based neural-plasticity developed through the brain's compensation mechanisms that originated out of the studies with people with different abilities proved effective as predicted in 2007 in the ArtAbilitation initiative presented at the International Conference on Artificial Reality & Telexistence in Esbjerg, Denmark.

Sense-substitution-stimulus-strategies in design of the technology have been warmly adopted by the artistic community as a foundation for generating and translation of expressive cues, this despite the new training involved and the high cost. Audiences have similarly signed up for the training so as to be able to appreciate the upcoming public dissemination of the new art form next year.

The invisible nanoshell-plasmonic-kinesphere was shown to successfully source feedforward sense data from the human artist's expressive cues whilst simultaneously delivering the desired feedback. The non-invasive feedback stimulation received at each sense organ was a success with negative side-effects. The user-test artists reported that mapping of the data through the neighbour-to-neighbour nanonet was an improvement over the earlier nano-arm tube relays. This improved the latency issues of the ‘real-time' transport of the bidirectional data. The inhalation-exhalation of the engineered plasmonic-kinesphere nano-entities substantiated Colvin's (2004) prediction that due to zero vapor pressure they are nontoxic and thus safe.

Through this highly speculative 2020 prediction of an invisible nanoshell-plasmonic-kinesphere interface to the world - I question what could be the future of technologies that can be utilized for Entertainment, Art, and Culture?... and is it possible to research towards such a vision where human nuance of sense can be augmented to such an extent so as to offer future artistic opportunities and societal impact.
