Simon Wilkinson is a British transmedia artist. His work incorporates audiovisual, installation, virtual reality, electronic music, and online and performance media, often combining all of these forms simultaneously. Wilkinson describes transmedia as 'the practice of telling a story through multiple platforms; so that, for example, instead of making a website ‘about’ the theatre piece, the website becomes an embedded part of the narrative.'〔(Simon Wilkinson, 'The significance of ‘L’Arrivée d’un Train en Gare de la Ciotat’, Promotional pack for ''The New Ten Commandments'' )〕 He often uses transmedia platforms in order 'to disrupt consensus reality and immerse audiences in experiences which blur the line between truth and fiction.'〔(Biography of Wilkinson on the Brighton Laboratory website )〕 Wilkinson, who currently produces work as Circa 69, has featured in Tate Modern’s Merge Festival (2011) and at many international festivals. ==Filmmaking== Wilkinson began working as a filmmaker in 1993 when, with Paul Dutnall, he formed the Buck in Fudgy 'No/Low Budget Film and Video Collective' in Nottingham.〔(Buck in Fudgy website )〕 Dutnall and Wilkinson held events in which they encouraged people to shoot film on the streets where they lived, using whatever equipment was available, screening the films in local venues. After holding similar events in London and Amsterdam, the pair moved to Brighton where, in 1997, they launched (Junk TV ), a youth and community film and screening company. Junk TV went on to create 'expanded cinema' events, in which they combined film with live performances. The most ambitious was ''The Flophouse'', a six-part film and theatre show, staged at Komedia, Brighton, from Autumn 2008 to Spring 2009.〔(Chronological lists of shows and awards on the Circa 69 website )〕 Wilkinson has made many short films, including ''Sparkle'', ''Horsey'', ''The Sound of the Wind in the Trees'', ''Gypsy'', ''Where There is Love There is No Law'', ''Death of an Innocent'', and ''The Front''.〔 His films have won a Kino Short Film Award (2007);a Triangle Award (2007); a BBC Lottery Award for Best UK Arts Project (2008); a Koestler Award for Best Feature Film (2009); and Best Documentary at the Picture This Film Festival in Calgary, Canada (2009).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simon Wilkinson (transmedia artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
