The aesthetics of global connectivity: exploring design strategies and networked technologies of distributed sites through artistic processes.
The project is supported through The International Network Program by The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, Denmark.
The project is an explorative investigation of the aesthetics of global connectivity. The aesthetic approach is a way to explore possibilities in technologically mediated relationships, which then inform the development of consistent models that correlate between the participatory experience, the compositional strategies, and the technological design. A sequence of online performance situations enable an explorative process through developing prototypes and staging events, which involve the total communicational complexity of the integrated platform as the artistic medium.
The research network is established expecting that researchers at IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark; Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Central Conservatory of Music Beijing, China; will complement each other in the interdisciplinary research into globally connected performance activities. The network project includes three workshops on-site at the respective collaborators, and a continuous process of online collaboration.

John Paulin Hansen participates in the Jingling Genies project that does research in context-sensitive services aiming at providing IT-technology operating across and adapting to different contexts, e.g. location, time, activity, personal preferences, past behavior, language/culture or work/private life. The Jingling Genies project is implemented by the IT University in Copenhagen and the School of Software and Microelectronics at Peking University in China.
