Congratulations to Giusy Caruso - Pianist & Artist Researcher for her fantastic contribution to the new issue of Journal for Artistic Research (JAR)!
What is a XR music performance? How and why are interactive technologies and phygital (digital-physical) interactions implemented in artistic practice and research in music? What is the engagement of musicians and the audience in this new hybrid (virtual-real) format?
The author of our last exposition explores music and metaverse to find new spaces to create with music and sounds, combining different approaches.
'XR Music Performance: a phygital piano duet in the metaverse'
ByGiusy Caruso
The digital revolution is boosting innovations across our contemporary social life and culture with a strong impact in performing arts studies, creation and fruition. By exploiting augmented and virtual technologies and their cutting-edge applications, contemporary researchers, performers, composers and artists are spurred to renovate their traditional practices and creations, and overcome the boundaries of real stages towards virtual stages and extended reality (XR), where the physical encounters the digital.
The possibility to be projected in the blended scenario of the extended reality (XR) and metaverse determines the avant-garde perspective of imagining music performance in hybrid stages where performers and audiences are involved in immersive and intriguing phygital experiences.
This exposition wants to present and discuss what the investigation on augmented and virtual reality in artistic research in music entails, and how and why to create a XR music performance in the metaverse. The focus will be on my personal artistic research experience in the creation of a phygital piano performance "MetaPhase: A contrapuntal dialogue between a pianist and her avatar in the metaverse".
