Digital #MediaArt(s) Numérique(s)

KOSKI is a board game that connects the physical and digital gaming worlds together in a new, unusual and playful way. It is a combination of real toy blocks and a virtual app that evokes digital interactive game play. The Player uses an iPad as a “magical mirror” which looks onto wooden blocks. By using an augmented reality and object recognition, as the player interacts and builds with the blocks, the game soon begins to reveal it's hidden worlds, characters and stories. It unlocks new and imaginative ways to play.

Blurring the boundaries between art and technology, we set out on a challenge to see if the great Master can be brought back to life to create a new painting

We present a method to continuously blend between multiple facial performances of an actor, which can contain different facial expressions or emotional states. As an example, given sad and angry video takes of a scene, our method empowers a movie director to specify arbitrary weighted combinations and smooth transitions between the two takes in post-production. Our contributions include (1) a robust nonlinear audio-visual synchronization technique that exploits complementary properties of audio and visual cues to automatically determine robust, dense spatio-temporal correspondences between takes, and (2) a seamless facial blending approach that provides the director full control to interpolate timing, facial expression, and local appearance, in order to generate novel performances after filming. In contrast to most previous works, our approach operates entirely in image space, avoiding the need of 3D facial reconstruction. We demonstrate that our method can synthesize visually believable performances with applications in emotion transition, performance correction, and timing control.

An interview with Todd Bailey for the Art21 blog.

Within the underground, DIY and circuit bending communities of Chicago, NYC and elsewhere Todd Bailey is the name associated with the 8bit sampler/kit WTPA (Where's The Party At) and other unique home-brew electronics. For the last decade, Bailey's activities have also found their way onto the shelves of toy stores like Target and the walls of museums like the Whitney.

Electronic artist and innovator Tim Exile showcases THE MOUTH - a new software instrument that can turn any audio signal into music.

Sing, beatbox, or send a drum loop into it, and THE MOUTH comes to life as a highly expressive and somewhat unpredictable synthesizer, vocoder or talkbox-like instrument.

THE MOUTH can be used as a stand-alone application and as a plug-in in a DAW or host sequencer, covering all kinds of live performance and music production scenarios.

The Mobile Lorm Glove is a communication and translation device for the deaf- blind. It translates the hand-touch alphabet Lorm, a common form of communication used by people with both hearing and vision impairment, into digital text and vice-versa.

The prototype enables the deaf-blind user to compose messages via the pressure sensitive palm of the glove that are transmitted as a text message to the receiver's handheld device. Vibrotactile feedback patterns allow the wearer to perceive incoming messages. It supports communication over distance, provides access to autonomous information and serves as an interpreter for people not familiar with Lorm.

Realtime editing of a glitchy video by James Bradbury using a Markov chain and a big bucket of random. State connections are partially randomly generated, cues algorithmically generated. Result is a mess. Tech demo.

combines physical objects with the benefits of a flexible augmented user interface.

This platform allows you to:

• Create Augmented Reality content with HTML tools
• Create Augmented Reality without any knowledge about 3D Programming
• Connect the functionality of objects with a simple drag and drop paradigm
• Program your objects with Arduino

Demo of "CirclesAndLines" custom Processing sketch for Resolume. It uses Processing 3 with Spout's (beta) SpoutController plugin by Lynn Jarvis of the Spout team. You can check out a walkthru of how to build your own here: ericmedine.com/spout-controller-for-resolume

Project Soli is developing a new interaction sensor using radar technology. The sensor can track sub-millimeter motions at high speed and accuracy. It fits onto a chip, can be produced at scale and built into small devices and everyday objects.

Reality Mediators is created as part of an ongoing research on the effect of Mediated Reality on user and user’s interaction with the built environment. Set of reactive technological devices are 3D printed and produced for a series of experiments investigating the effect of Mediated Reality on user experience through extended period of wearing the prosthetics.
