Degree in Art + Technology - 0 views

  •  
    I recently stumbled upon the University of New Mexico's interdisciplinary program in Art + Technology. They describe it as such. " The program fosters an atmosphere of radical creativity and thoughtful engagement with emergent and established technologies. Students are expected to make work that comments on, engages with, and expands our notions of what technology based art can be through courses that explore high tech immersive environments alongside consumer electronic hacking and simple analog circuit building. Labs are equipped with industry standard software as well as free open source analogous software options. Studio production is coupled with critical inquiry into the relationship between art, technology, politics, society and culture."

Overview | Pew Internet & American Life Project: Arts Organizations and Digital Technol... - 0 views

  •  
    "The internet and social media are integral to the arts in America. A survey of arts organizations that have received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) finds that technology use permeates these organizations, their marketing and education efforts, and even their performance offerings." An interesting report revealing the (mostly) positive effect technology has had on arts organizations.

Are Musicians Benefiting from Music Tech? | Artist Revenue Streams - 0 views

  • The survey questions and interview responses strongly suggest that emerging music/technology has had a measurable impact on their careers as musicians and composers.  Revenue generation aside, technology has made them more self-sufficient, given them the ability to connect directly with fans and peers, and leveled the playing field in general.

    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.

Technology Changing Art - 4 views

  •  
    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.

Robotic Third Arm Turns Drummers Into Beat Machines | Popular Science - 2 views

  • This robot drum arm comes from Georgia Tech, and was originally designed as a way to help a drummer who had lost an arm.
  • Here, the drum arm augments an existing drummer. While the user in question is wearing a headband with sensors, that part of the project isn’t ready yet. Instead, the robot arm is drumming of its own accord, with some awareness of what the human is doing. It listens, and it plays along.
  • The robotic arm is smart for a few reasons. First, it knows what to play by listening to the music in the room. It improvises based on the beat and rhythm. For instance, if the musician plays slowly, the arm slows the tempo. If the drummer speeds up, it plays faster. Another aspect of its intelligence is knowing where it’s located at all times, where the drums are, and the direction and proximity of the human arms. When the robot approaches an instrument, it uses built-in accelerometers to sense the distance and proximity. On-board motors make sure the stick is always parallel to the playing surface, allowing it to rise, lower or twist to ensure solid contact with the drum or cymbal. The arm moves naturally with intuitive gestures because it was programmed using human motion capture technology.
  •  
    Mechanic arm allows drummers to augment their playing. The arm's technology allows the arm to tune into what the human drummer is doing and follow along. Interesting technology that perhaps could find its way into other areas of music (the three handed piano player, or allowing people with one arm/hand to play instruments formerly difficult to play).

    University of Wisconsin-Madison offers summer classes for students completing grades 5-8 that integrate technology with the arts. It's great that people are beginning to realize that technology and the arts can complement each other, and are offering these kinds of classes to such young students. I wish I was young enough to take some of them!

Digital Technology Is Making Its Mark in Cuba - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • The global boom in digital filmmaking has rippled across Cuba over the past decade, letting filmmakers create their work beyond the oversight of state-financed institutions. Independent movies have become a new means of expression in a country where, despite freedoms and economic reforms introduced by President Raul Castro since 2006, the state still carefully controls national press, television and radio, and access to the Internet is very limited.

    Digital technology is enabling people in Cuba to express themselves through film.

Technology and Music - 0 views

    Innovative music has always been inextricably linked to technology. The Pythagoreans set scales in accordance with their mathematical concepts of harmony in nature, Mozart wrote groundbreaking concertos centered around the newly invented piano, and The Beatles completely changed the face of popular music by pioneering almost every modern recording technique.

    This is an awesome piece about the democratization of music and the advent of producing from a laptop and how that is changing the world of music.
