Height Restriction“, “24X7@PHL: Vectoring”, and “Landmark Status” are part of an investigation into the usage of animation software and procedural modeling as a method for visualizing time-based quantitative data via construction. While appearing relatively bleak when seen as small posters on the exhibition wall, the ideas behind seem sophisticated and the visuals compelling at the website.

其他:

. News Knitter materializes large-scale data gathered from online political news through beautiful wearable garments. Seeing them in person make you only wish more that they would be for sale! (nb: potential buyers can leave your contact details Mahir’s website)

. OpenStreetMap 2008: A Year of Edits is a wiki-style 3D globe map of the world, in which all edits over time, themselves results of physical local surveys, flash white and then decays through yellow and red to purple.

. MSNBC Hurricane Tracker and Oakland Crimespotting both how off Stamen’s ability in both graphical design and technical development. As with most other screen-based works, it seemed to attract fewer onlookers than the non-screen works.

. Eigenfactor demonstrates how elegance and information can be effectively merged. It attracted quite some people by its additional poster and bright downlight.

. Synchronous Objects for One Flat Thing, reproduced is an interactive screen-based collection of visualizations revealing deep structures of choreographic thinking through a vivid collection of information objects in the form of 3D computer animation, annotation, and interactive graphics. Even the 3 separate displays could show only a glimpse of its richness.

. The playfulness of Visual Poetry was represented by 3 nicely framed posters.

. A_B_ peace & terror is a transparent poster revealing the quantitative contribution of each of the 192 member states of the United Nations has made toward peace and terror in the world.

. The Katrina Project: NO-LA is a database-driven, activist web site explores the psychological and social effects of the Katrina storm in New Orleans.

今年 SIggraph 2009 的【Computer Animation Festival】增闢了〝Mass Animation〞單元。〝Mass Animation〞由Intel、Dell與Autodesk贊助,利用在Facebook的網路社群力量,結集101個國家58,000動畫喜愛者共同關切與討論此集體創作,當中150個討論板因之而被建置出來。其中並有2100個動畫師下載了APP上面的12740鏡頭。最後,由來自17個國家的123位動畫師實際送出所創作之鏡頭,共花9個月時間把一個一個鏡頭集體接力完成了〝Live Music〞動腦動畫創作。

〝Live Music〞是由Sony Pictures Digital的前執行長Yair Landau所導演,靈感來自莎士比亞的“羅密歐與朱麗葉”和早期的CGI電影。故事發生在樂器店裡,藉由世界通用語言「音樂」來描述吉他手與小提琴間邂逅插曲。

實驗結果,印證了「集體創作」是可行的、且效果比預期的好。

今年Siggraph 2009 的【Computer Animation Festival】在〝Real-Time Rendering〞單元,Tatsuo Unemi 與Daniel Bisig在活動現場做了其作品 〝DT4 Identity SA〞即時互動 影像表演。雖然這類經由 web-camera把人的影像擷取下來即時融入所設計的數位影像的作品在國際上實在很多很多,但作者所努力經營的 “即時運算” 與 “多變演算” 的特質與效果還是令人讚賞。更重要的是,他們把作品互動程式公佈並開放讓大家download,此舉倒是讓藝術界可以

今年Siggraph 2009 的【Art Gallery】主題為〝BioLogic: A Natural History of Digital Life〞是過去幾年來辦的最好的,不但主題鮮明且聚焦、藝術性極高、技術難度也深,且幾呼所有作品都符合主題。今年每件作品都很精彩,其中以Philip Beesley的〝Hylozoic Soil〞最讓人印象深刻,作品不但壯觀,且每個互動關節之造型與處理令人讚嘆,沈浸其中讓人有無限的想像與思考。

作者Philip Beesley 的〝Hylozoic Soil〞作品,主要以羽毛般的葉脈加上電容傳感及具有形狀記憶合金驅動器,創建一座瀰漫蠕動的「人造森林」,吸引觀覽者在波光粼粼的森林中遊歷,當觀覽者遊歷其中羽毛般的葉脈會與觀覽者產生呼吸狀的蠕動互動。

作品使用了分散式傳感器網絡的推動下幾十個微處理器,讓羽毛葉脈產生呼吸般的反射微動。38個控制面板負責周圍區域互動控制,而總線控制器則使用傳感器來控制整個森林“整體性”行為互動。整座森林激起參與者探險,去經由感官呼吸進而體現環境的不安,也呼應了生物藝術家Ernst Haeckel 1899年的宇宙之謎,探索的追蹤行動從有機或無機性質最後都回到自然的法律與成形原因。

〝Hylozoic Soil〞作品是件令人嘆為觀止的互動電子控制裝置與動力藝術作品,說作品是座數位森林也可以、說作品是個外太空機器人也行,沈浸其中,讓人有無限的想像與思考。而仔細觀察作品的每個局部設計,真是細緻複雜,整個控制採分散又集中的管理控制,讓人激賞。這種大型、複雜、費時的作品,通常台灣的藝術家很難也未必願意去嘗試的;且這種固執堅持的創作態度,也是台灣創作者需學習的。

作者Philip Beesley是加拿大 University of Waterloo的建築教授,二十幾年來都從事「數位媒體景觀雕塑裝置(sculpture and landscape installations)」。他的作品讓人想到 荷蘭藝術家Theo Jansen的Beach Animals感知肢節生物,兩人都在此領域固執耕耘,令人敬佩。

2009/05/10 ICC 「Light Insight」Anthony McCall 的3D光膜雕塑

ICC 「Light Insight」Anthony McCall 的3D光膜雕塑2007年八月在 SFMOMA 看到Anthony McCall 的「You and I, Horizontal」作品,蠻震撼的。McCall的「3D光膜雕塑(3D Light Sculpture)」系列作品常有弧線曲面出現,面與面間交錯,且精彩的是光膜上有著動態圖形出現。今年二月在日本 ICC的特展「Light Insight」中,Anthony McCall 的「You and I, Horizontal」再次受邀展覽,這是過去看過 3D光膜雕塑中最精彩的。決定再介紹一次!

Anthony McCall 是英格蘭人,現在住在美國紐約。他從七○年代便開始把影片媒體(media of film)嘗試擴大它的創作可能性,當時他已有 “Solid Light Films” 的想法,多年來一直努力實驗實驗,但效果一直不是很好。後來,薄霧細顆粒機器(mist machines producing fine particles)的相關技術產生,讓他有機會更完整實現多年前的實驗。自2002年起他的三維光膜雕塑逐漸受到國際矚目。

Anthony McCall 著名作品有:“Line Describing a Cone” , “Long Film for Four Projectors”, Doubling Back” ,  “Breath”, “Between You and I”,  “You and I, Horizontal”等。2005年美國西北大學還出版了「Anthony McCall  – The Solid Light Films and Related Works」一書。

2009/05/09 「互動科技&藝術」的啟蒙&謙卑

近年上「互動藝術」相關課程,有許多感觸。台灣新媒體藝術環境仍”不夠客觀”,常讓得獎人自滿;而新媒體科技不斷出新,要突破常讓創作者倍感吃力。所以,新近上課開始回歸到「六○」年代科技藝術的啟蒙介紹,想讓大家瞭解我們現在所努力的、所追尋的比起六○年代的藝術家,只能自嘆弗如。另外,上課也又開始讓同學做「自然」互動情境實驗之探索,讓大家從我們的自然現象與環境關連中去開拓創作之可能性。
