At CADRE, the Centre for Art, Design, Research and Experimentation sited in the School of Art and Design at the University of Wolver Hampton, there are a number of projects in the process of exploring ways of bridging the virtual to the real world. This work includes that carried out on our Second Life (SL) Island, Kriti, concerning forms of creative practice, and also the collaborative Shift-Life project and the longitudinal Deconstructing Duchamp research study. The latter two projects have an investment in applying animal/human-like behaviours to virtual objects to reveal their inter-relationships, and also any social behaviours which might occur, in accordance with mixed reality interventions. This paper then, will give an overview of a cluster of art practice-based research activities in place at CADRE, with the understanding that the interests of each project may just converge at some future stage on Kriti Island.
