Fiction Machines - Research Timeline & Research Questions

Fiction Machines is a multi-component output comprising a body of video art works, a journal article, a curated symposium and a journal special issue.The research considers how media art works can be developed that expose, rewrite and critique the mechanisms of contemporary control technologies from informational and affective perspectives.Secondly, how re-appropriation can be used to harness source material drawn from the operations of these technologies? Thirdly how can the works themselves become self-reflexive machines, performing affective control on the viewer, whilst also exposing their artifice? Fourthly, how can similar research approaches that harness fiction to rethink technologies can be interrogated and brought into view?This item contains the Research Timeline and Research Questions for the project.

虚构机械集是一个多组成部分的输出体系，包括一系列视频艺术作品、一篇学术论文、一场精心策划的研讨会以及一个期刊特刊。本研究探讨如何从信息和情感视角出发，开发能够揭露、重写和批判当代控制技术机制的媒体艺术作品。其次，探讨如何利用这些技术操作中提取的原始材料进行再利用？第三，如何使作品本身成为自我反思的机器，在施加情感控制于观众的同时，亦揭示其艺术手法？第四，如何审视并呈现利用虚构来重新思考技术的类似研究方法？本项包含项目的研发时间表和研发问题。
