The CIRCUS Consortium is a working group funded by the EC’s Esprit programme.
Circus brings together artists, designers, performers, theorists and computer scientists to debate the research issues posed by the next generation of advanced information technology for the creative and performing arts, media and the electronic publishing industry.
It brings together partner institutions in the UK, Ireland, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
Circus advises the EC on the integration of content and technology in terms of creative pull vs technology push
CIRCUS aims to gain a fuller understanding of the relationships between content, medium and technology in user contexts ranging from data creators to data users, from entertainment through education to fundamental research.
Some of the specific objectives of the CIRCUS working group were • To address issues of Data Capture, Data Management and Data Delivery
within creative production contexts • To develop models of applications and theoretical research based on
creative production practice • To influence the development of future research projects, relevant
standards, and experimental productions in the media industries.

How the CIRCUS Working Group works; the Synergy Theme Metadata: Ealing Studios, London 27.10.98 - first meeting, talk on “Metadata
Management systems for the Performing Arts” (Carola Boehm, Dr. Stephen Arnold; Univ.o.Glasgow), discussed theme of Access through metadata
Angouleme 10.3.99 - “Describing artistic digital content: creating and using connectionist metadata ”, (Timo Honkelo; Univ. o. Helsinki), first metadata working group + recommendations (see next slide)
Ars Electronica, Linz 9.9.1999 (CUIDAD/CIRCUS) “MuTaTeD I, Metadata for Music Content”(Carola Boehm)
Dublin 21.10.99 - “The Metadata Bear, bearing the weight of accessibility”, metadata from content to context. (Carola Boehm).
Portsmouth 9.9.00 - “Metadata for the Creative Industries”(Patrick Brennan; Artism Ltd, Carola Boehm) , knowledge transfer into the industry, with industry reporting back on experiences gained.
Helsinki, 3-6.5.01 - “Pockets full of Memories”, Art-Installation, George Legrady and Professor Timo Honkela
