Life Spacies II Interactive virtual reality installation by Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau Austria/France, 1997/99 "Life Spaces II" was developed for the ICC InterCommunication Museum in Tokyo as part of the museum’s permanent collection. It is an artificial life environment in which remote visitors connected to the Internet and the visitors who are physically present in the installation interact through evolving images and shapes. People from all over the world can interact with the system by accessing its web page The Tables Turned The installation "The Tables Turned" is preceded by "Telematic Dreams" (1992) and "Telematic Vision" (1993) and continues the theme of telematics. The main consideration is the analysis of communication produced around a table Agar "The "Agar" installation suggests a reflection on the biological solutions found for perpetuating survival". "Agar" demonstrates the transformational processes of various bacterial and fungal cultures. The living material is subjected to a strategy typical of microbiological laboratories: the conditions of artificial nutrition and artificial light allow for the transformation and the development of the microorganisms within the duration of the exhibit. |

Prix Ars Electrónica 1999 In 1999, 2119 works from 60 countries were submitted to the various categories of the Ars Electrónica Prize. The present collection represents the best computer graphic animation and special effects, having been selected from among 271 works by an international expert panel of judges. It includes examples of films, independent productions, research projects and student projects BUNNY >C. Wedge; Blue Sky Studio (U.S.A.) 7:17' ACM Siggraph Since 1973, ACM Siggraph (USA) has organized the oldest and most internationally prestigious conference and exhibit on computer graphics. To celebrate its thirtieth anniversary it has edited a collection covering the period of 1960 through 1980. While the ‘60s are characterized by black and white productions, the ‘70s mark the beginning of color animation. Specifically, in 1970 there was explosive progress in this field. In the early ‘70s art and education were the dominant themes, however, at the same time, simulation technology was beginning to be applied to fields such as physics, astronomy and mathematics. A significant number of films are made in nuclear weapons laboratories, related to the cold war and the space program. In the latter half of the ‘70s the first companies specializing in commercial production appear. Computer-generated animation comes to the service of logo production for television, advertising, commercials and special effects in feature length films. The creation of computer graphics animation is no longer limited to the research laboratory or university environment; It now moves into the studios of commercial animation. In 1980 with the expansion in personal computers this production becomes truly widespread, resulting in the current proliferation of computer graphic images and their application in all the areas of visualization for science, the arts and technology The collection was created by Judson Rosebush and Gwen Sylvan and produced by ACM Siggraph in 1999 "Life 2.0", the first international competition on art and artificial life sponsored by the Fundación Telefónica, produced a compilation video of artistic creation that has embedded in it the practices of Artificial Life (A-life). Art works premised on the strategies of A-life research, its conceptual approaches as well as its methods of digital synthesis were entered. Among the 50 projects received from 11 countries, a prestigious international panel of judges awarded a tied first prize to both "La Cour des Miracles" by Bill Vorn and Louis-Philippe Demers (Montreal, Canada) and to "Tickle" by Erwin Driessens and María Verstappen (Holland). Third prize and the Public’s Choice Award was given to the work "Bomb" by Scott Draves (San Francisco). There were honorary mentions for the following work: "Office Plant" by Marc Böhlen and Michael Mateas (U.S.A.); "Machine Palmipéde" by Gérard Boyer (France); "Iconica" by Troy Innocent (Australia); "Genetic Response System" by Diane Ludin and Ricardo Domínguez, Fakeshop (U.S.A.); "Sympathetic Sentience Three" by Simon Penny and Jamieson Schulte (Australia/U.S.A.); "The Lamentations of Orpheus" by Asa Unander-Scharin (Sweden); "A Flock of Words" by Doris Villa (U.S.A.); and "Technosphere" by Jane Prophet, Gordon Selley and Mark Hurry (Great Britain) |
