摘要

本文采用舞蹈-躯体的观点,利用多人虚拟现实技术(VR)探索身体和环境的虚拟性和肉体性之间的身体-技术关系的复杂性。使用VR沉浸在虚拟环境(VE)中可以产生一种存在感,即“身临其境”。舞者们移动到一个感觉和触觉的领域,进行身体和感官的练习,去中心化视觉,以前景,从而激活非视觉和身体的感觉。从舞蹈的角度来看,进入VE会带来视觉、虚拟环境和物理、感觉环境之间的感知张力或“差距”的直接影响。参与VR的技术人员和艺术家通常会找到方法来掩盖这种感知差距,以便创造参与者流畅且同步体验的现实。本文介绍并讨论了两个挑战这一方法的参与式表演项目《figure》(2018)和《Soma》(2020)。根据参与者对figure的反应,以及Soma的创造性发展,文章提出并讨论了六个主题,这些主题解开并挑战了围绕VR技术的规范概念和期望,以及身体如何在感官上与技术互动;并讨论了一种“关怀伦理”,它要求在人类与技术的接触中激活身体和参与代理。在整个过程中,文章对主题研究方法与直观的、实践主导的方法之间的紧张关系进行了评论,这些方法包括对参与者证词的分析和表演制作的创作过程。

Returning to the Body: Somatic Sensing in Multi-Person Virtual Reality Technology
This article uses a dance-somatic standpoint to explore the complexities of body-technology relations across the virtuality and corporeality of bodies and environments using multi-person Virtual Reality technology (VR). Immersion into a virtual environment (VE) using VR can lead to a sense of presence, of ‘being there’. Dancers move attending to a field of sensation which is felt and tactile, undertaking somatic and sensory practices to de-centre vision so to foreground and thus activate non-visual and somatic senses. From this dancerly standpoint, entering into a VE brings into play the immediate effect of a perceptual tension or ‘gap’ between the visual, virtual environment and the physical, felt environment. Technologists and artists engaging with VR typically find ways to cover-over this perception gap in order to create a reality that is fluidly and synchronously experienced by the participant. This article introduces and discusses two participatory performance projects Figuring (2018) and Soma (2020) which challenge this approach. Drawing on participant responses to Figuring, and the creative development of Soma, the article presents and discusses six themes which unpack and challenge normative notions and expectations around VR technology and how bodies sensorially engage with the technology; and discusses an ‘ethics of care’ which calls for somatic activation and participatory agency in human encounters with technology. Throughout, the article offers a commentary on the tensions between a thematic research approach and an intuitive, practice-led approach in the analysis of participant testimonies and in the creative processes of performance-making.
