Anita Kocsis Doctor of Philosophy School of Media Arts Icinema Centre for Interactive
Co-Designing New Media Spaces Candidate: Anita Kocsis Doctor of Philosophy School of Media Arts iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research University of New South Wales 2010 1 Abstract Human centred design is a design philosophy that places the human at the centre of any design program. It engages in co-design practices that rely on participatory collaboration between designer and stakeholders. This thesis investigates how making meaning in digitally augmented exhibitions can satisfy the objectives of designers and content providers through the use of human centred design principles. It contends that a reflective analysis of collaborative design processes can improve stakeholder relations and meet the diverse needs and interests of audience members. New media museum exhibits position designers to represent the research of expert content providers. However differing stakeholder visions can turn collaborative design into an incoherent, competitive process in which audience experience, digital mediation, visualisation techniques and the meaning of the work become contested territory. In this thesis two key concepts, “brokering by design”, and the audience experience, are proposed as central to understanding and improving collaborative digital design. Firstly, “brokering by design” can resolve conceptual differences where a design impasse between stakeholders (such as curator, artist, designer, historian, scientist, museum staff) presents itself. Secondly, a study of the audience experience in the digital exhibition makes visible hitherto unseen levels of social interaction and profound experiential aspects. Two Case Studies serve as the analytic foundation of this thesis and assist to address the twofold purpose of this thesis. These are: (a) the problems in the design process and; (b) the reception of the resulting exhibition by the audience.

New Art Historical Resources on the Web [2]
New art historical resources on the web [2] H-ArtHist Redaktion [1] The Archive of Digital Art 2.0 [2] Piktorialismus-Portal --------------------------------------------------------------- [1] The Archive of Digital Art 2.0 From: Prof. Dr. Oliver Grau <[email protected]> Date: 02.09.2014 Subject: ANN: The ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART 2.0 is online Krems The Archive of Digital Art (former Database of Virtual Art) has become the most important scholarly online archive for media art. In cooperation with established media artists, researchers, and institutions, it has been documenting the rapidly evolving world of digital art and its related fields for more than a decade and today contains a selection of thousands of artwork at the intersection of art, science, and technology. A New Tool Enables Collaborative Archiving With two large international grants, by FWF and ARC, the archive is evolving into a web 2.0 environment. The idea is to provide community features and user-oriented applications to enable a collective scientific exchange between artists, researchers and the public to foster interdisciplinary and global collaborative analysis and a proactive process of knowledge transfer. ADA invites scholars to create their ADA scholar profile, upload their pdf publications, announce upcoming events, lectures, conferences etc., and explore and research digital art collectively, as the archive is for research and teaching. Meta-Thesaurus Cross-links Media Art with Art History Furthermore the archive’s rich data collection - based on a 'concept of expanded documentation’ for media art - will be semantically cross-linked with classical art from the Renaissance to the present by a newly developed meta-thesaurus.

Media Ecologies: Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture, Matthew Fuller, 2005 Media Ecologies
M796883front.qxd 8/1/05 11:15 AM Page 1 Media Ecologies Media Ecologies Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture Matthew Fuller In Media Ecologies, Matthew Fuller asks what happens when media systems interact. Complex objects such as media systems—understood here as processes, or ele- ments in a composition as much as “things”—have become informational as much as physical, but without losing any of their fundamental materiality. Fuller looks at this multi- plicitous materiality—how it can be sensed, made use of, and how it makes other possibilities tangible. He investi- gates the ways the different qualities in media systems can be said to mix and interrelate, and, as he writes, “to produce patterns, dangers, and potentials.” Fuller draws on texts by Félix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze, as well as writings by Friedrich Nietzsche, Marshall McLuhan, Donna Haraway, Friedrich Kittler, and others, to define and extend the idea of “media ecology.” Arguing that the only way to find out about what happens new media/technology when media systems interact is to carry out such interac- tions, Fuller traces a series of media ecologies—“taking every path in a labyrinth simultaneously,” as he describes one chapter. He looks at contemporary London-based pirate radio and its interweaving of high- and low-tech “Media Ecologies offers an exciting first map of the mutational body of media systems; the “medial will to power” illustrated by analog and digital media technologies. Fuller rethinks the generation and “the camera that ate itself”; how, as seen in a range of interaction of media by connecting the ethical and aesthetic dimensions compelling interpretations of new media works, the capac- of perception.” ities and behaviors of media objects are affected when —Luciana Parisi, Leader, MA Program in Cybernetic Culture, University of they are in “abnormal” relationships with other objects; East London and each step in a sequence of Web pages, Cctv—world wide watch, that encourages viewers to report crimes seen Media Ecologies via webcams.

Creating Continuity Between Computer Art History and Contemporary Art
CAT 2010 London Conference ~ 3rd February Bruce Wands _____________________________________________________________________ CREATING CONTINUITY BETWEEN COMPUTER ART HISTORY AND CONTEMPORARY ART Bruce Wands Chair, MFA Computer Art Director of Computer Education Director, New York Digital Salon School of Visual Arts 209 East 23 Street New York, NY 10010 USA [email protected] www.mfaca.sva.edu www.nydigitalsalon.org Computer art was started by a small group of pioneering artists who had the vision to see what digital tools and technology could bring to the creative process. The technology at the time was primitive, compared to what we have today, and these artists faced resistance from the traditional art establishment. Several organizations, such as the New York Digital Salon, were started to promote digital creativity through exhibitions, publications and websites. This paper will explore how to create continuity between computer art history and a new generation of artists that does not see making art with computers as unusual and views it as contemporary art. INTRODUCTION The origins of computer art trace back over fifty years as artists began to experiment and create artwork with new technologies. Even before computers were invented, photography, radio, film and television opened up new creative territories. Many people point to the photographs of abstract images taken of an oscilloscope screen that Ben Laposky called Oscillons as some of the first electronic art images, which foreshadowed the development of computer art. While the system he used was essentially analog, the way in which the images were created was through mathematics and electronic circuitry. Another artist working at that time was Herbert Franke, and as the author of Computer Graphics – Computer Art, originally published in 1971, and followed in 1985 by an expanded second edition, he began to document the history of computer art and the artists who were involved.
