Mixed reality in this context refers to the coexistence of overlapping virtual and physical spaces achieved by creating and experiencing immersive environments. It will also cover the historical role pre-cinema played, as a form of instructive entertainment, in the promotion and colonisation of New Zealand during the Nineteenth Century. The artistic phenomenon not only served to inform prospective immigrants but propagate ideas of \u2018otherness\u2019 through the selective use of imagery and the layout of the exhibition spaces. The discussion will conclude with an analysis of contemporary works by Janet Cardiff, William Kentridge, and Victor Burgin and their use of digital animation to explore the historical impact of pre-cinema entertainment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philip Madill<\/strong> is a Dunedin-based artist whose practice explores the historical relationship between photography and drawing. In 2014, he completed a master\u2019s degree from the Dunedin School of Art and holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in history from the University of Otago. Madill is also working towards a Doctor of Philosophy in Art and Design at the Auckland University of Technology.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Dunedin School of Art and University of Otago (Languages and Cultures)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colonial panorama to digital reality: A Practice-based analysis of nineteenth century and contemporary immersive arts Philip Madill, Auckland University of Technology Wednesday 20 September Room F209, F Block, Otago Polytechnic, Forth Street, Dunedin: 5 \u2013 7 pm Philip Madill, Displacement of Accent, graphite on paper, 2023 This seminar will explore, through practice-based research, the evolution [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42147,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/visualstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/visualstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/visualstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/visualstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42147"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/visualstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/visualstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/visualstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/visualstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/visualstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
