'Robin', el ciberamigo sanitario ·
"Robin busca amigos. El robot ha sido creado por 'hombrecillos verdes para ayudar a los jóvenes a comprender algunos temas de salud pública'. O al menos, eso dice. Pero detrás de Robin -que tiene como dirección electrónica robin@msc.es-, están el Ministerio de Sanidad y Microsoft.
Su objetivo es crear un personaje virtual que sirva para que los adolescentes consulten sus dudas acerca del sexo y el alcohol, de momento. Luego se incorporarán drogas y tabaco ....
Pero Robin aprenderá de sus errores, dijo Íñigo Asiaín, de Microsoft. La idea es que cada vez sepa más, insistió el ministro de Sanidad." read all su ELPAÍS.com
Animata
Animata | Kitchen:
"Animata is a real-time animation software for live performance, with the aid of which we can easily create scenes with virtual puppets. Creating and moving characters is as simple as loading an image and attaching a skeleton to it. Images can be placed in different depths of field so that they have a three-dimensional effect. We can move among the layers of various depth, creating a spatial effect, with the help of the camera, covering various segments of the scenes. The characters’ movements are controlled by external devices. Combined with a pattern recognition system, the characters might even be controlled by live actors. Furthermore, Animata allows a multi-user collaboration via the internet, thus providing an opportunity for the collective editing and creating of the performance."

"UNSTABLE IDEAS"
JOSH SMITH
"UNSTABLE IDEAS"
17.01.-16.02.2008 
SOME POSSIBLE – BUT MOSTLY REFUTED – QUOTES AND OPENING SENTENCES FOR A PRESS RELEASE OF JOSH SMITH
1.) The unpersonal is personal (again).
2.) Karl Kraus: "The more closely you look at a word the more distantly it looks back."
3.) This exhibition will consist of twelve large and twenty small paintings made between 2007 and 2008.
4.) There are two artists named Josh Smith. This is the other one.
5.) In Josh Smith's paintings traditional categories of ‘representation’ and ‘abstraction’ lose their value, for – as described by the French art historian and writer Hubert Damisch – "the purpose of awakening in the spectator the uneasiness with which the perception of a painting should be accompanied".
6.) As if stuck on repeat, the 20 canvases occupying the first wall in this exhibition give the same message: "JOSH SMITH, UNSTABLE IDEAS, STANDARD OSLO 17.01.-16.02.2008"
7.) The personal is unpersonal (again).
8.) The exhibition "Unstable Ideas" sees Josh Smith continue his discussion of production, reproduction and non-production in regards to 'the readymade painting'.
9.) Frank Black: "Hang on to Your Ego"
10.) Wikipedia.org: "Disambiguate |ˌdisamˈbigyoōˌāt| verb [ trans. ]: remove uncertainty of meaning from (an ambiguous sentence, phrase, or other linguistic unit)."
11.) In Josh Smith's collage paintings – layered newspaper ads, concert posters and take-out menus, intertwined with printouts of the artist's works – there is a transformation as much as an appropriation of material, allowing these to become more sculptural and performative.
12.) Josh Smith’s paintings are fairly easy to identify: they have his name painted all over them.
This is Josh Smith's second solo exhibition at STANDARD (OSLO). Since graduating from the University of Tennessee in 1998, Smith's works have been subject to a number of gallery exhibitions in Paris, Oslo, London, Brussels, New York, Detroit and Chicago, as well as museum solo exhibitions such as "Dial J for Josh" at The Power House in Memphis. Other recent exhibitions include last year's Lyon Biennial, in addition to "USA Today" at the Saatchi Gallery / Royal Academy of Arts, London, "The New Yorker" at Kunsthalle Zürich, "Uncertain States of America" at the Astrup-Fearnley Museum, Oslo, and the Serpentine Gallery in London. This year Smith will also have a solo exhibition with the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig in Vienna.

The Antikythera Mechanism Research Project
The Antikythera Mechanism Research Project
"More than a hundred years ago an extraordinary mechanism was found by sponge divers at the bottom of the sea near the island of Antikythera. It astonished the whole international community of experts on the ancient world. Was it an astrolabe? Was in an orrery or an astronomical clock? Or something else?
For decades, scientific investigation failed to yield much light and relied more on imagination than the facts. However research over the last half century has begun to reveal its secrets. It dates from around the 1st century B.C. and is the most sophisticated mechanism known from the ancient world. Nothing as complex is known for the next thousand years. The Antikythera Mechanism is now understood to be dedicated to astronomical phenomena and operates as a complex mechanical 'computer' which tracks the cycles of the Solar System."
http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/
http://www.antikytheramechanism.it
The Antikythera Mechanism is also the name given to a graphic-fueled experimental narrative journey, traversing snow covered alien desert landscapes, fractured forests, and hyper-futuristic cities. In this re-imagining of the discovery of the Antikythera Mechanism (an ancient mechanical computer - dating back to 150-100 BCE), our surreal fairy tale follows our guide as she unearths a mysterious object that acts as a catalyst to unfold reality and open up a series of answers in the form of worlds ranging from distorted natural vistas to stylized synthetic futurescapes. The film was featured on BT’s 2006 DVD release This Binary Universe. (see video appleTV )
