Roma, 6 ago. – Una rivoluzione nel campo della pittura e della tecnologia digitale.
Un gruppo di scienziati americani e inglesi ha creato un quadro digitale che cambia colore in accordo con l’umore della persona che lo osserva. - leggi tutto l'articolo su IGN

via Reuters.co.uk - "The programme analyses the image of eight facial expressions, such as the position and shape of the mouth, the openness of the eyes, and the angle of the brows, to work out the emotional state of the viewer," said Dr John Collomosse of the University of Bath in southwest England. -- "It does all of this in real time, meaning that as the viewer's emotions change the artwork responds accordingly," he added in a statement.
Collomosse developed the empathic artwork with Maria Shugrina and Margrit Betke of the University of Boston in Massachusetts. The painting changes from a dark, somber image to a brightly-coloured one as the viewer's expression alters from a scowl to a smile.

The First International Conference on Digital Live Art

The First International Conference on Digital Live Art

from the website:

"Digital Live Art is the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), live art and computing. This conference seeks to bring together practitioners and academics from the varying worlds of live art, computing and human-computer interaction for a lively debate and event which will explore this emerging field. Our specific context focuses on club cultures as a living context for digital live arts practices. Our expected outcomes are to create a community of digital live artists and to present strategies for designing, developing and evaluating Digital Live Art. Such an event provides an opportunity to open up conversations between digital art and live performance and will allow us to explore how it is used to increase our understanding of human-computer interaction in general.

The notion of Digital Live Art is that of a hybrid art form which focuses on presence and presupposes the digital as a way of making live engagements. Our particular interest is in exploring the relationship that develops between performers, participants and observers within playful contexts and how Digital Live Art may move people to performative interaction and communal engagement"

The conference will include both day time presentations and evening ambient after party. The daytime event will include a keynote panel with Charles Kriel, Philip Auslander, and Jon Dovey. The schedule includes peer-reviewed paper presentations, interactive installations and performances, a cross-disciplinary discussion forum and an ambient after-party.

Digital live art performance

Digital live art performance at MITP Theatre (article by di-ve.com)

Ever heard of digital art? This genre will be presented by Technical Director Toni Sant in a collaborative research project entitled: "Objects Found or Lost?" (view project blog) , on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th August 2006 at the courtyard of MITP Theatre, St Christopher Street, Valletta at 9.00pm.

The collaborative work will explore the use of found objects in digital art through both a theoretical approach and live performance work. The project interrogates the value of the right to use, convert, transfer, alter or modify any sort of 'found object' on the web as source material for performance...
...The performers are Christophe Alix, Lucille Calmel, and Toni Sant in association with the University of Hull, Scarborough Campus, UK. Neill Warhurst and Saviour Zammit are the production managers.

The live encounter at MITP Theatre involves online collaborators who interact within the collaborative creative process either in real time or through contributions made to the project via the website www.foundorlost.com....

Berlin-Tokyo/Tokyo-Berlin. Die Kunst zweier Städte

Berlin-Tokyo/Tokyo-Berlin. Die Kunst zweier Städte

Berlin-Tokyo/Tokyo-Berlin. Die Kunst zweier Städte
Berlin-Tokyo/Tokyo-Berlin. The Art of Two Cities

An exhibition of the Nationalgalerie of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and the Mori Art Museum Tokyo, in co-operation with the Deutsche Kinemathek - Museum for Film and Television. Made possible through the foundation of the Deutsche Klassenlotterie Berlin, the Hauptstadtkulturfonds and Deutsche Bank. With kind support from Japan Airlines, the Japan Foundation, Museum & Location Veranstaltungsgesellschaft der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin mbH, the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau Foundation and Transit Film. Wall AG is the official media partner of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.


On the occasion of the Germany Year in Japan 2005/2006, the Nationalgalerie Berlin (National Gallery) and the Mori Art Museum Tokyo, supported by the Berlin Kunstbibliothek (Art Library), the Kupferstichkabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings) and the Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst (Museum of East Asian Art), have organized a comprehensive art show with the title "Berlin-Tokyo/Tokyo-Berlin. Die Kunst zweier Städte".

Despite their geographical distance, for over a hundred years Berlin and Tokyo have been linked by historical and art historical connections which will now be highlighted for the first time in a representative exhibition.

Starting with Japonism, the connections lead via the avant-garde periodical Der Sturm, Dada, photography of the 1920s and the Bauhaus to an exchange during the years of National Socialism (particularly in the area of film). After the war, close connections - upheld through friendships between artist and DAAD exchange programmes - manifest themselves within Neo-Dada, Fluxus and 1980s installation art. The Upper Hall of the Neue Nationalgalerie (New National Gallery) is given over entirely to the most recent art and the subject of artistic interventions referring to the context of urban space.

For the architectural design of the Upper Hall, the Nationalgalerie is pleased to have been able to commission the Japanese architect Toyo Ito. He will transform Mies van der Rohe’s glass temple into an exciting space, a completely new experience in which art and architecture enter an unusual fusion.
