  • The Visualiser: Intelligence Made Visible
    THE VISUALISER: INTELLIGENCE MADE VISIBLE Graham Howard, Design Director, System Simulation, Bedford Chambers, The Piazza, Covent Garden, London, http://www.ssl.co.uk Sarah Beecham, Director, Art of Memory, Bratch House, Station Road, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire http://www.artofmemory.co.uk ICHIM 04 - Digital Culture & Heritage / Patrimoine & Culture Numérique Abstract (EN) Typically when we come across something new and complex we try and get a view of the whole, but when we know a field well we look for those particular aspects that concern us. Often to find our way through new territory we need guidance to help us navigate. At present most database driven web sites rely upon searching as a means of access. Accessibility is too often defined by what we cannot do, there is a real need to deliver new methods to make the breadth and depth of our worlds accessible to all. Searching is fine if you know what you are looking for, if you don’t, frustration can quickly set in. Browsing is often poorly served on such sites. This tends to exclude the non-expert. We believe that there is a need for a method of access, which encourages the non-expert to explore and understand the scope and depth of the material available on a site. We call this type of browsing ‘assisted browsing’. We are developing a tool called the Visualizer which enables assisted browsing. It sits on the top of repositories of information, whether of museum objects, learning objects or other data and produces an interactive conceptual map of the objects and their interrelationships.

Introduction and Brief 1.1 Purpose The London Museums Hub has commissioned this review of the use of machine- readable labelling systems across the heritage sector to evaluate the benefits of this technology both as a collections management tool and as a means of providing user access to collections information. The study focuses on the use of machine-readable technologies eg Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and bar coding as methods to control object movements, update locations, enhance security and facilitate access to information associated with an object or collection of objects. 1.2 Brief The following is extracted from the Invitation to Tender document. Key objectives Research the methodology and practicality of RFID tagging or bar coding objects from different collection types as evidenced by the experience of current user museums and similar institutions.

DONAHUE, BS, MFA DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of The University of Texas at Dallas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ARTS, TECHNOLOGY, AND EMERGING COMMUNICATION THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT DALLAS December 2017 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To begin, I would like to like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Marjorie Zielke. I appreciate your support and guidance given the unorthodox confluence of ideas in my dissertation as well as your confidence in me and your leadership of The First Person Cultural Trainer project. I would also like to think the members of my committee: Dr. Frederick Turner, Dean Terry, and Dr. Habte Woldu. Dr. Turner, you are a gentleman, scholar, and writer of the first order and your work on epic narrative has been enlightening. Dean Terry, your knowledge of avant-garde cinema and role as an innovator in social technology has always made our conversations stimulating. Your example encourages me to take risks with my own endeavors and to strive for the vanguard. Dr. Woldu, you introduced me to the concept of quantifying cultural values.

  • Early British Computer-Generated Art Film BITS in MOTION
    BITS IN MOTION: Early British Computer-Generated Art Film BITS IN MOTION A programme for the NFT of films made by British pioneers of computer animation [INTRODUCTION] The earliest computer animators had no off-the-shelf software packages, Programme Notes no online tutorials and nothing to buy in a bookshop on how to make animated films using computers. When they began to experiment with 7 March 2006 computer-generated imagery, they had to gain access to rare and specia- lised mainframes and learn programming from the ground up. As pioneers, they were making the first steps towards the highly successful CGI animations of the 21st century. The practitioners in this survey were among those who forged alliances with scientists and institutions, learned to write code, built or customised their own hardware where necessary and discovered imaginative ways to bend the available technology to suit their creative requirements. Working with equipment designed for completely different purposes was a difficult task requiring long hours, dedication and a particular type of mind-set but it led to highly productive cross- disciplinary working relationships. These films remain important examples of the collaboration possible between artists and technologists in this period. The CACHe Project has rediscovered some of the very first efforts in this medium and this event, supported by the London Centre for Arts and Cultural Enterprises, hopes to make its origins better known. // Recently completed in the School of History of Art, Film & Visual Media at Birkbeck, University of London, the CACHe (Computer Arts, Contexts, Histories, etc) Project was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and traced the inception, growth and development of British computer arts from its origins in the 1960s to the beginning of the 1980s (www.bbk.ac.uk/hosted/cache).

  • Problems in Simulating Social Reality: Observations on a MUD Construction
    SIMULATIONLin, Sun / OBSERVATIONS & GAMING /ON March A MUD 2003 CONSTRUCTION ARTICLE10.1177/1046878102250607 Problems in simulating social reality: Observations on a MUD construction Holin Lin National Taiwan University Chuen-Tsai Sun National Chiao Tung University The authors look at computer-mediated simulation as an approach to studying social science issues and dis- cuss its limitations, with the design process for a Multiple-User Dungeon (MUD) game serving as a context. Using data gleaned from interviews with the MUD designers, the authors present three findings: (a) fun is a key difference between simulations and reality, because a MUD user can always walk away from a game that is not fun but cannot walk away from difficult real-life situations; (b) simulated social systems require time and commitment from a fairly large population, which conflicts with the typical level of patience observed in most computer game players; and (c) the roles of technicians and designers as mediators in simulated social environments is an area requiring detailed study, because their attitudes toward technical constraints, social values, and stereotypes exert a strong influence on the appearance of their final products. KEYWORDS: computer-mediated simulation; cyberspace; online game; simulated reality The use of computer networks and computer simulations to study social science issues has so far been very limited; thus, their potential as research tools in this area has remained largely unexplored. Simulation applications in the social sciences are cate- gorized as system modeling, computer-mediated simulation, and microsimulation. The first uses computer simulation tools and techniques to create models for the pur- pose of studying social system dynamics and processes.
