Perception, Reality, Photography

Your reality is 15 seconds in the making - Quartz: "the image people saw most recently was the one they were most likely to remember. However, they tended to make slight errors in the angle of the lines, which were influenced by the previous three images, each to a lessening degree. For example, if the last image they saw was tilted 45 degrees to the right, but the three before it had been tilted to the left, the subject would perceive the rightward tilt to be less than 45 degrees. This suggested that when our eyes record the present moment, our brain perceives a smearing of recent activity rather than a frozen frame of time." (read more at link above)

San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Digital Arts Panorama (video)

SFPUC Digital Arts Panorama from Obscura Digital on Vimeo.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Digital Arts Panorama is a seamless curved digital canvas that provides an interactive educational experience for the public and provides an infrastructure that allows new content experiences to be continually updated in the future. The Digital Arts Panorama stands 4’ tall by 58’ long, with a resolution 24,000 pixels wide, and is comprised of live data, graphic visualizations, an interactive platform, and ambient music.
The permanent installation turns the building lobby into a real-time dashboard about what the Public Utilities Commission is doing and how its LEED Platinum certified building is performing. Gesture based real-time news populates on the screen as visitors interact with this dynamic and intelligent system.
Obscura Digital designed and engineered 4-custom unique interactive experiences with motion responsive visuals and sound effects for the Digital Arts Wall including: ‘Snowfall to Outfall’, ‘Media Stream’, ‘Dashboard’ and “Interactive Art Mode”. Each content experience provides an educational and entertaining platform for SFPUC employees and visitors including hundreds of school children to learn more about the history, art, current-issues and future goals of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
This innovative, exciting, interactive educational art piece is a dynamic outreach tool for the San Francisco community, open to the public during regular SFPUC business hours.

NODE10, Forum for Digital Arts (video)

NODE10 - Forum for Digital Arts, Documentary from NODE Forum for Digital Arts on Vimeo.
This is the official documentation video of
NODE10 - Forum for Digital Arts, November 2010, Frankfurt, Germany
http://node.vvvv.org

The purpose of NODE is to facilitate the exchange between art, design and engineering in interactive and generative media. The 'NODE - Forum for Digital Arts' emerged in 2008 from an initiative of developers and users of the graphical programming language vvvv (http://vvvv.org).

At first, NODE was meant to support the community of people using vvvv to create artistic and creative software projects, but it quickly changed into an international forum for knowledge exchange between designers, artists and engineers of various fields believing in the powers of programming and digital technologies.

The second edition was held in November 2010 in cooperation with the Frankfurter Kunstverein (www.fkv.de). Through the exhibition and lecture panel 'abstrakt Abstrakt - the systematized world' (curated by Marius Watz & Eno Henze) we seeked to analyze the nature and effect of abstraction systems.

With an unbelievable longlist of vvvv workshops we made heads spinning and with the performances we created astonishment. NODE10 was a week long highly creative rush of discussions, theoretical and practical lectures, workshops, presentations and events.

Thanks everybody who made this week in November 2010 such a good time.

Digital photography and projection replace celluloid and analog projection

"....2012 is the year that the word 'film' officially becomes an anachronism" as digital photography and projection replace celluloid and analog projection. For another, "the ongoing tension between theatrical release and digital video-on-demand on multiple platforms" (cable, iTunes, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon) suggests that seeing a movie in a theater soon may be an anachronism as well. Add to the equation the escalating quality and popularity of episodic television and there are some who doubt the future of feature film....." (source infra) Read more at --
