MAGICS
MAGICS is a joint effort of six Finnish universities – Aalto University, Tampere University, University of the Arts Helsinki, University of Lapland, Turku University of Applied Sciences, and University of Jyväskylä – to form a network of infrastructures to accelerate research into human experience in the digital world.
Introduction
The MAGICS infrastructure will offer additional tools to support collaboration between universities and various partners. At Uniarts, the infrastructure focuses on reconfiguring and digitally augmenting art performance, studio, and exhibition contexts through portable equipment, kinetic and responsive installations, and digital co-performers. This involves imaging technologies, 3D scanning, VR, and motion capture.
The intent is to develop a service model for using the research infrastructure for students, researchers, and teaching staff. The overall goal is to advance digital interaction within the artistic domain, pushing the boundaries of audience engagement and creative processes with new digital tools and methodologies.
