electronics in the arts exhibit --h2ly, Tue, 13 Mar 2007 13:47:07 -0800 reply
Wednesday, March 21st, 7pm. Key ideas:
1-Using analog signals (light, sound, motion, etc) to create a paper/rock/scissors behavior, instead of potentially more complex, expensive, less tangible technologies.
2-Using an "inverse proportion" scheme. What this means is that each type of input reduces another type of output. The more Rock, the less Scissors, the more Scissors, the less Paper, etc. The more Light, the less Sound, etc.
3-And the unproven theory: This type of scheme will create a self-balancing "ecosystem" of sorts. Each type of output will keep the other types of output in check. When left to their own devices, the three will find some kind of harmony in which all three outputs will occur at some regular intensity or interval (though it may not be perfectly balanced between all three).
4-Finally, a participant of the piece could step into this process at any of its three junctions (light, sound, motion), creating visible (and audible) disturbances in the "natural" harmony that would reverberate through the "ecosystem" in not-entirely-predictable ways.

... CALIT2 (warren + stone bear) - multipurpose room (it's more like a black box). keep an eye out for jellyfishes.

Brett Stalbaum, advising faculty for ICAM (Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts) writes,
"Come see the most famous university-based game development group on the west coast, showing off their completely unique approach to the art & science of evolving new concepts & paradigms in the world of video game creation, utilizing their new Quake 4 engine modification, which is the the second version of their "Fantastigon Multiware" open source LAN gaming "instaworld" creation. Center Hall, Rm. 115, Thursday @ 7:30 pm."

Electronics in the Arts II exhibit is at 8pm, not 7pm. Same location: CALIT2 - Multipurpose room - look for Jellyfishes.
..you can still show up at 7pm, but we may still be setting up and documenting the project!
I'm not spamming, am I? --h2ly, Thu, 15 Mar 2007 15:29:03 -0800 reply
OPENING NIGHT: Friday, March 16th, 2007 6 pm to 9 pm with
reception
When: March 16 - 22, 2007 3 to 6 pm
Where: CalIT2? in one of the reconfigurable labs. Look for signs and postcards after you get past the cement bear.
What: The Senior ICAM 160B graduating class of Steve Boyer is presenting in a gallery space for one week. This is unusual as most senior projects are presented in a virtual gallery space on the internet, a website, you tube or just within the class. They have done a great job and many of the pieces are highly interactive. Stop by and wish them well as they graduate and head off to jobs, graduate schools and teaching programs.
