  Article:   PHENOMENOLOGICAL ISSUES IN VIRTUAL REALITY: TECHNICAL GESTURES DIRECTED LIKE VIRTUAL PIECES OF PERFORMING ART.

Authors:  .
 
       
         
  Abstract:  

The paper addresses the question of Informed Virtual Environments from the point of view of some philosophical and ethical key-issues. By browsing some eclectic experiences like dancing, serving Asturian cider, trying to escape Dante’s Hell or manufacturing a tyre, important questions are raised, and some answers are sketched about some possible ways of designing our future environments: but gestures have then to be considered as cultural objects too, being not reducible to their physical traces.

 

Index Terms: Informed Virtual Environments, virtual reality, choreographic dance, Hell modelling, gesture annotation, digital inscription of movement.
