Stelarc

Stelarc’s art is very, very peculiar. He uses the human body as his main focus and finds ways to manipulate it or combine it with technology to make it work differently. I feel that most of his work is in a way disrespectful to the human body, for example the ear on arm. There is…

Robert Irwin response

Robert Irwin own themes and works doesn’t feel too knew to me but interesting. He’s able to show the primary colors in color theory and focus it as an installation instead. Installations like Primaries and Secondaries exhibition was pretty complex and simple just by showing the color strips on the floor and hang the same…

This installation, displays a 3d image of a dog on a office window, creating a holographic image of a dog. The dog follows individuals who pass though the streets. creating an interaction of a dog at a pet shop display. Incoming video feedback follow and track the people walking in front of the window.

WTF?

I really enjoy the possibilities within the realm of computer vision. What the broad category can create is amazing and fun at the same time. I came across this music video which clearly uses computer vision technology throughout the entire thing. If you click on the title of this post, you can watch OK Go’s…

Flexible LED curtain

When I first stumbled upon this video, it was like having a flashback into my childhood. I use to have this toy called “Lite-Brite”. It was a box that contained a lightbulb inside and had little holes on the top. You’d place a piece of black paper over the holes and then stick little colored…

AntiVJ

The other day I came across this excellent artist: AntiVJ. One of the mexican electronic music labels Static Discos (http://www.staticdiscos.com/) posted his new media collaboration with Murcof (http://www.murcof.com/) who has been famous for his experimental electronic and neo-classical music. That video made me research more on AntiVJ and I discovered his website as well as…

  Halloween maybe over, but it’s an interesting project using LEDs and Arduino boards to just simply put inside a pumpkin and  make a controlled lighten Jack-O-Lantern. These vids are just one of the examples of what other people have done to make their  own LED Jack-O-Lantern, youtube has a ton of them if you look them…

Lev as well as authors in general like to speak of everyday variables that we don’t pay attention to in our everyday life. because they have been incorporated into our lives as everyday items. Here are two examples. Electronic Screens on buildings walls Computer and Network technologies The poetics of Augmented Space basically is referring…

reading response

I don’t know if this article did much to talk about the construction of poetics of augmented space as much as a historical overview of the problems associated with new technology, but I thought many of the points brought up about architectural augmentation were interesting. Venturi’s ideas of embracing architecture as the form of communication…

Response to “The Poetics of Augmented Space”

After reading the assignment, it let me understand the artist’s relationship to an augmented space. With increasing technological achievements as a society, the extent of accomplishing a work of art associated with technology will have no boundaries. The part within the text that got me interested was with brandscaping. With architecture becoming concentrated to commercial…

“The Poetics of Augmented Space” by Lev Manovich

I thought that this reading was really interesting and informing. The definition of Augmented Space is the physical space overlaid with dynamically changing information. This information is likely to be in multimedia form and it it often localized for each user. Some examples of Particular Urban Spaces are environments such as shopping and entertainment areas…
