Research topic: Liveness: exploiting the here and now of us together

The experience of music at a concert, sport in a stadium, drama in a theatre: being there ‘live’ has qualities compelling in the moment but remarkably resilient to rational reconstruction afterwards. We propose a framing of liveness that the HCI field can deploy to its benefit, arrived at by arguing that the dynamics of the interactions amongst audience members is key to the experience of a live event. We are researching the performer—audience—audience interaction to better inform this framing, and are developing a design framework to aid those wishing to create work that benefits from it.
