项目摘要

Time, Culture and Identity will foster creative and commercial collaboration between cultural partners and businesses in the UK and China by exploring the history of cultural and economic exchanges between the two nations through the lens of timekeeping. Exquisite, but rarely-seen clocks from the collection of Beijing's Palace Museum will be brought to life for audiences across China and around the world via new digital experiences, co-designed by UK and Chinese creative businesses. By stimulating knowledge exchange and brokering commercial relationships between the UK and China, the project will develop methods for cross-cultural approaches to connecting audiences with their scientific heritage.This project will explore the potential of the cultural and creative economy through two interacting strands: * a collaborative research programme between curators and researchers at the Science Museum in London and the Palace Museum in Beijing, working with scholars at Beijing Jiaotong University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, around a unique collection of 17th and 18th century clocks, manufactured and designed in England, but created for the Imperial court and held in China.* a co-design approach to the digital interpretation of the clocks involving knowledge exchange between UK and Chinese creative businesses. This will be supported by audience research into the display of the clocks in three locations: Beijing, Hong Kong and London, and will bring together creative companies in both countries to explore new alliances and ways of working.In this way, 'Time, Culture and Identity' will not only act as an exploration of the long history of cultural and economic exchanges between Britain and China but also a practical example of this in the contemporary context - stimulating knowledge transfer between the cultural partners and brokering commercial relationships between the UK and Chinese creative businesses.But this project is also designed to exploit a larger opportunity for UK/China collaboration. In its boldest form, the outputs of 'Time, Culture and Identity' will inform a joint effort between the UK and Chinese partners to reimagine the industrial revolution through material culture; to question narratives that focus on the Western development of eighteenth and nineteenth century sciences and technology, and see this as part of a continuum that embraces the Chinese experience of industrial revolution leading to our globally interconnected society. Whilst such themes are broad and ambitious, by focusing on a single key area - the concept of time as transmitted between the Britain and China in the 18th Century - we will be able to illuminate and test a strand of this larger thesis, and the possibilities of collaborative research, interpretation and creative trade between the UK and China in the 21st century.

时间、文化和身份将通过计时的视角探索两国之间的文化和经济交流历史，促进中英文化合作伙伴和企业之间的创意和商业合作。北京故宫博物院收藏的精美但罕见的钟表将通过英国和中国创意企业共同设计的新数字体验，为中国和世界各地的观众带来栩栩如生的体验。通过刺激英国和中国之间的知识交流和调解商业关系，该项目将开发跨文化方法，将受众与其科学遗产联系起来。该项目将通过两个相互作用的线索探索文化和创意经济的潜力：*伦敦科学博物馆和北京故宫博物院的策展人和研究人员与北京交通大学和中国科学院的学者合作，围绕 17 世纪和 18 世纪钟表的独特收藏开展合作研究项目，这些钟表是在英格兰，但是为帝国宫廷创建并在中国举行。*一种对时钟进行数字解读的联合设计方法，涉及英国和中国创意企业之间的知识交流。这将得到观众对北京、香港和伦敦三个地点时钟展示的研究的支持，并将汇集两国的创意公司，探索新的联盟和工作方式。通过这种方式，“时间、文化”和身份”不仅是对中英文化和经济交流悠久历史的探索，也是当代背景下的一个实际例子——刺激文化合作伙伴之间的知识转移，并促进中英两国之间的商业关系。中国的创意企业。但这个项目也旨在开发英中合作有更大的机会。以最大胆的形式，“时间、文化和身份”的成果将为英国和中国合作伙伴共同努力，通过物质文化重新构想工业革命提供信息；质疑关注西方 18 世纪和 19 世纪科学技术发展的叙述，并将其视为包含中国工业革命经验的连续体的一部分，从而形成我们全球互联的社会。虽然这些主题广泛而雄心勃勃，但通过关注一个关键领域——18世纪英国和中国之间传播的时间概念——我们将能够阐明和检验这一更大论文的一个线索，以及可能性21世纪中英两国之间的合作研究、阐释和创意贸易。
