"Could a visualization of a building's carbon footprint increase conservation behavior in resident populations?"

This program at Ohio State encourages the intersection of technology and art. The school has a terrific bevy of resources and labs for the students to use in their creative work, CNC routers, 3D printers, high end graphic computers, robot labs, and electronic labs to name a few. The have a presentation on the link showing some of the work, take a look,

This is really cool...clearly universities are engaging in a lot of the exploration and experimentation around integrating art and technology. I am currently collaborating with a composer on a chamber music work that I would love to have incorporate a three dimensional visual aspect. We are working with a visual artists in Maine. Money is the only obstacle!

Thought people might enjoy this! Yes Gifs can be pretty silly, but they also can be a pretty incredible medium for the visual arts. Let me know what you think, and if you agree after seeing these!

These are interesting. I had never heard of Gifs before. I'd like to find out more about them. There was something spooky about them to me, but still fascinating.

I wrote a comment already, but I'm not sure where it went! Anyway, these are fascinating...a bit spooky in some way, but I'd like to know more about how they work.

Visual News is a wonderful website collecting unique and interesting collections of art. This particular piece features photographs of abandoned NASA stations and offices, offering a unique glimpse into America's space age.

"So you can thank photographer Roland Miller, who, for 25 years, has traveled to more than 15 NASA launch and research sites across the country to document their current state." Wow, so beautiful and sad... and i think we will only see more of this. Thanks for posting.

This is a link to a scholarly paper about the dance.draw program from UNC Charlotte. This work is supported by an NSF CreativeIT Award#IIS-0855882 grant. The program is a marriage of technology and dance. The dancers are tracked by cameras or gyro devices that they carry on their person. The software then uses the dancers information to change display information behind the stage and or modify audible information. http://dancedraw.uncc.edu/DanceDraw/Dance.Draw.html

This is really intriguing. I have longed to do something like this with music, translating scores into visual images, so that you see patterns, colors and textures. I haven't read the paper yet, but I will. Also, I find it interesting that this is happening at UNCC. I have a house in Charlotte. I am only temporally in Memphis. Over the years I have done a lot of work with UNCC, and I know several people in the dance department, but I had not heard about this project.

Tomas Van Houtryve wants there to be a permanent visual record of the dawn of the drone age, the period in American history when America started outsourcing their military to flying robots. In order to create this record, Van Houtryve sent his own drone into American skies.

A few years ago video projection mapping was a fledgling artform, with a handful of noteworthy examples. Now, no building opening, product launch, award ceremony, or birthday party worth its salt would be seen without a head-turning projection. Video projection mapping has the capacity to transform any object into a screen.

This is an article on visual mapping that links up with music for concerts. It is a new realm in experiencing sound which I am very excited about.
