The artistic creation reveals the powers at work in the universe, and enables art consumers to be united. For that purpose artists used new philosophical ideas and accelerating cyber technologies to extend their body and consciousness to a cosmic span.

This is accomplished through the development of artificial intelligence software that applies the visual rules of standard emergent behaviors to the algorithmic arrangement of musical tones. This research presents the proposed system, defining the algorithm and demonstrating its implementation.

Experimental Media Horizons - Syncretic and Subversive Practices

Performative media--including video jamming, live and networked media collaboration, and mobile-device based performance--is reaching a critical mass in digital culture. In Experimental Media Horizons, we will examine a number of outlying practices where the materials of digital culture are beginning to coalesce, and place current activity into a broader historical and aesthetic context. Included is an overview of tech requirements and performance suggestions for developing your own course.

The Cyberart of Corpos Informáticos

by Margaret Anne Clarke

Published in Claire Taylor and Thea Pitman (Eds) (2007) Latin American Cyberliterature and Cyberculture. Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, pp. 70 - 86

This chapter provides an overview and analysis of the website more This chapter provides an overview and analysis of the website www.corpos.org, a website constructed by the Brazilian performance and installation art collective Corpos Informáticos. The chapter treats some central themes of Corpos Informáticos' work: the treatment of the human body and ontological status in relation to broadcasting media and contemporary technology, proposing an alternative conceptualisation called "symbolic ecology" which allows for no fundamental schism between the human, the organic and the technologies that both create. The website also exemplifies, through a process of dual construction by its creators and the 'internaut' or viewer-participant, a redimension of the body effected by the affordances provided by framing, looping flash and hypertext. The chapter also considers other philosophical conceptions proposed by the collective's writings and web art, partly informed by the work of Gilles Deleuze, concerning the nature of knowledge itself, and the concepts of evolution of life and society fundamental to Western thought.

Investigating techniques to control meaning in multimedia performance

Modern art leaves the definition of the communicative code up to the receiver. Through the act of perception, they decipher the meaning of the artwork to themselves, completing one of the countless versions of the artwork that are possible.

How can the artist strive for greater control over meaning in the absence of a definitive code for communicating? Is it justified for the artist to shape the parameters for the code without defining its specifics? Would to do so break away from the established idea of modern art being, that which requires the viewer to complete the artwork? Does the post-modern condition of ubiquitous access, information and realities preclude such an attempt at shaping definitive meaning in a performance?

As an artist, I find it necessary to incorporate message and concepts in my audiovisual performance. I have for too long presumed that the audience receives my intended meaning. I can no longer make such assumptions and so I seek the academic path to rigorously test the hypothesis that greater control over meaning in a multimedia performance is not only possible but to the greater experience for the audience.

At its early stage, wrestling from the United States and the French “Catch as Catch Can” blended within popular Mexican culture absorbing its social, political and mythical idiosyncrasy evolving later into what it would be known as Lucha Libre. This sport has become famous mainly due to its masked wrestlers which embed their family traditions, beliefs and fears into the design of their masks, allowing them to transform a regular person into a fearless character.

The objective of this project is to analyse and present how the visual elements within the masks are created and how they evolve through time. Utilising several visual communication methods I have been able to explore the ideas and processes behind the characters creation and its evolution inside the Lucha Libre media. This has been done through the implementation of diverse technologies which enables any user to be submerged into the world of Lucha Libre and witness that experience. Through the next interactive exhibitions, this project offers a mixture of visualisation, technology and social theory, looking to understand the anthropological complexity behind the design of the masks inside the Lucha Libre world.

Interactive Installations Analysis - Interaction Design of a Sensory Garden Event

Eva Hornecker, F.W. Bruns. Paper at IFAC/IFIP/IFORS/IEA Symposium on the Analysis, Design and Evaluation of Human-Machine Systems 2004 (Atlanta, GA). CD-ROM

Garden” - seven installations shown during a festival in Bremen - are described. As this kind of event cannot be evaluated in terms of usability or effectiveness, we need other categories to assess the attractiveness or “joy of use” of installations. Categories from the discourse on interaction design and interactivity were found helpful for a design reflection into why some installations were an “interactive success” and others failed to meet expectations and received little visitor attention.
