Interesting article about different cool tech things in various locations around Paris. A lot of the points have to do with art and culture. Bonus ! It was written by a friend :)

Check out the video of the motion capture app. Pretty cool way to take live movement and transform it to the digital medium.

This blew me away completely. Bjork has always been on the cutting edge of tech with her instruments. This shows off a few of them. After you watch, check out some more videos on the reactable (the blue table with the shapes on it).... it's pretty nuts.

This triggered various images: instrument statues that are also kinetic...sound made visible...most intriguing!

This has been big in the new recently, but what better marriage of art, design and technology is there!? Very cool and very accessible to all.

Quite lovely...magical. It brings to mind the interplay of atoms, or even particles...the unceasing movement of the universe. And, yes, accessible to all!!

Results from a research project measuring whether or not technology has had a positive impact on musicians.

Yet another dance company using technology to liven up the world of live performance.

Sophie Weiner calls up Georgia Tech, where robots are making music with humans. In this amazing article we see a robot learning how to improvise with a live piano playing through listening to the chord and melody and matching in time.

Article and three minute video. "Pixel" is the latest from Adrien M / Claire B, a French dance company specializing in cutting-edge physical-digital performance.

Narrated tours of Art on exhibit and tours or artist studios. A wonderful way to get MoMA to the masses.

excerpt: "Science and technology research should be viewed more broadly than in the past: not only as specialized technical inquiry, but as cultural creativity and commentary, much like art."

This NYTimes article discusses the influence of technology on an art museum, and the potential effect it could have on the art world. The Cleveland Museum of Art has created an iPad app for its entire permanent collection, something that is almost unheard of as of yet. The app can revolutionize the way people see the exhibits and view art museums. The app seems like a fantastic way for people to be more interactive with a piece of artwork on a wall in a museum. This seems to be an example of technology boosting and enhancing the art experience.

Vine is an app for twitter that allows you to make short looping videos, which you can share with the world. I linked the wiki page here, as it has more information, but you can visit them on twitter at: https://twitter.com/vineapp The Tribeca Film Festival opened a competition for Vine videos for this year's event. http://www.tribecafilm.com/blogs/six-second-films-vine-competition

my sincerest apologies or this being in French, though I think you can view an English version... Ircam is internationally known as THE contemporary music research center... it's place in combining music in technology in the classical world is irreproachable.

This website is like it's own Diigo for this topic.

Good resource Beau. I really like this link about the Pew Research on tech and social media and the arts, the Hype Curve is really really informative: http://www.technologyinthearts.org/2013/02/the-pew-research-centers-report-on-arts-and-technology/

Interesting site with a lot of information. Also the Pew report affirms what I am seeing happening in the organization where I work: The Memphis Symphony. I would love to see more technology used in performances and in education, but funding is an issue, as well as a unified institutional vision as to how to integrate technology into the aesthetic aspects of what we do. Marketing is already making use of technology.

I found this interesting because it draws the connection between art, science and tech. Especially the first two are typically seen as such unrelated disciplines. Yet there is so much art in science and so much science in art. The correlation between the three disciplines is something that I would like to explore further.

A little history

a little perspective on how technology can change how we create and understand art.

An article discussing how the use of technology is changing the way art is made. Collaborative art is the new big thing, now outnumbering traditional forms of creativity. Because of easily accessible technology, everyone is mimicking everyone else.
