    Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree European Master of Excellence Media Arts Cultures "HOW DOES GAMIFIED INTERACTION ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO CO-CREATE DIGITAL ARTWORKS?" Qualitative analysis: comparative method, within-case method of analysis and embedded multiple-case study Master Thesis Handed in to Department of Communication and Psychology Aalborg University Head of Department Univ.-Prof. Dr. Mikael Vetner and the Media Arts Cultures Consortium Supervisor: Palle Dahlstedt (Ph.D., MFA, MA) By: Dominique Vinckenbosch (BA, MA) August 12, 2019 ! ii! ABSTRACT Topic: Game design elements (gamification affordances) applied to interaction for co-creation in art. Author: Dominique Vinckenbosch Course/Year: Media Arts Cultures, 2017-2019 4th Semester Placement: Aalborg University, Denmark Pages: 130 Content: So far gamification and interaction in art have been studied separately. However, the research question of this study "How does Gamified Interaction allow participants to co-create digital artworks?" covers three disciplines, respectively games, human computer interaction and interactive art and demonstrate connections premises between the three. Therefore, this study aims to bridge these three disciplines by filling the gap in the current research about the application of game design elements (gamification affordances) to interaction for co-creation in art. In order to do so, the study conducts an in-depth cross-case and within-case qualitative analysis of four digital artworks, respectively The Beast, Cow Clicker, Tweetris and BURP in regards to two previously elaborated hypotheses, which goals are to provide evidence of a causal relationship (H1) and to eliminate a causal factor as a necessary condition (H2). The results demonstrate that Gamified Interaction enables co-creation in the form of authorial and social collaboration, and that it does not necessary have to be designed according to the participants.

    Transmedia Practice: Theorising the Practice of Expressing a Fictional World across Distinct Media and Environments by Christy Dena A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) School of Letters, Art and Media Department of Media and Communications Digital Cultures Program University of Sydney Australia Supervisor: Professor Gerard Goggin Associate Supervisor: Dr. Chris Chesher Associate Supervisor: Dr. Anne Dunn 2009 Let’s study, with objectivity and curiosity, the mutation phenomenon of forms and values in the current world. Let’s be conscious of the fact that although tomorrow’s world does not have any chance to become more fair than any other, it owns a chance that is linked to the destiny of the current art [...] that of embodying, in their works some forms of new beauty, which will be able to arise only from the meet of all the techniques.

Thank you, for never denying yourself the right to Be. ~ Transmedia Practice ~ Abstract In the past few years there have been a number of theories emerge in media, film, television, narrative and game studies that detail the rise of what has been variously described as transmedia, cross-media and distributed phenomena. Fundamentally, the phenomenon involves the employment of multiple media platforms for expressing a fictional world. To date, theorists have focused on this phenomenon in mass entertainment, independent arts or gaming; and so, consequently the global, transartistic and transhistorical nature of the phenomenon has remained somewhat unrecognised.

  • Immersive Interactive Virtual Reality in the Museum
    Immersive Interactive Virtual Reality in the Museum Maria Roussou Foundation of the Hellenic World 254 Pireos St. Athens 17778 Greece +30-1-4835300, +30-1-4834634, [email protected], http://www.fhw.gr/ Abstract. The use of immersive Virtual Reality (VR) technology is a relatively recent trend enjoyed almost exclusively by the academic, military, and industrial research and development communities. However, as VR technologies mature, research is expanding from the military and scientific visualisation realm into more multidisciplinary areas, such as education, art, culture, and the humanities. As representative institutions involved in the research and presentation of these fields, museums, cultural centres, and entertainment venues may be in a better position to make use of advanced virtual reality technologies in order to investigate their educational potential while effectively shaping how they deliver public education and recreation. This paper will discuss the issues involved in using state-of-the-art interactive virtual environments in cultural public spaces by presenting the virtual environments developed for learners of all ages at the Foundation of the Hellenic World (FHW), a cultural heritage institution of informal education located in Athens. Virtual Reality in the Museum The development of new interactive important drawbacks for the use of VR in technologies has inevitably impacted the more public spaces, making it difficult to incorporate traditional sciences and arts. This is more in dwindling museum or school budgets. In evident in the case of novel interactive spite of these concerns and objections technologies that fascinate the broad public, as regarding the appropriateness and educational has always been the case with virtual reality.

    From Television to Drone Vision: Telepresence and Touch in Contemporary Art Kris Paulsen Introduction: “Touching the Interface – Interfacing Touch” Figure 1. Douglas Engelbart at the controls of the oNLine System during "The Mother of All Demos," San Francisco, December 9, 1968. On December 9, 1968, Douglas EngelBart famously changed the future of computing. His presentation at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco introduced the world to the oNLine System (NLS), which he developed with his team from the Augmented Research Center at the Stanford Research Institute. In the brisk 100-minute lecture, later known as “The Mother of All Demos,” Engelbart demonstrated, among other things, live teXt editing on a cathode ray tuBe monitor, hyperlinked documents, the computer mouse, networked interaction, video conferencing, and the idea of a personal computer with a display screen.1 The Introduction: Touching the Interface—Interfacing Touch 1 importance of the demonstration was not just in what EngelBart showed the audience, but how he did so. Though he sat on a stage facing a packed 1000-seat auditorium, he addressed the crowd through a 22-by-18-foot screen displaying a live video image of him at the computer workstation. An Eidaphor video projector, Borrowed from NASA and networked by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), Beamed the high-resolution image across the lecture hall while a team of assistants, including Stewart Brand, the producer of the psychedelic 1966 Trips Festival, were at the lab in Menlo Park remotely controlling and choreographing the images on the screen.2 Despite Being in the same room with his viewers, EngelBart indicated that he would address them “primarily through this medium” By pointing into the television camera, and thereBy to the center of the video projection (fig.

Signed Lee-Stahr Robertson !ii Abstract Alternate reality games (ARGs) utilize the real world as a platform for storytelling. These experiences deliver real world stories that may be altered by a player’s decisions and actions. However, these experiences were largely developed to function as one- time use marketing tools for particular products or services (Szulborski, 2005a). Consequently, ARGs evolved very little insofar as developing sustainable and profitable revenue models or any degree of scalability. As such, this paper will seek to coalesce existent research in the fields of ARG scalability and revenue modelling in order to generate a novel and theoretically sound framework for creating profitable and reusable ARGs.

  • Augmented Reality and Visual Arts
    Digital Culture & Audiovisual Challenges: Interdisciplinary Creativity In Arts And Technology AUGMENTED REALITY AND VISUAL ARTS Maria Papadopoulou1, Ioannis Deliyannis2 1MA, Department of Audio and Visual Arts, Ionian University, [email protected] 2Assistant Professor, Department of Audio and Visual Arts, Ionian University, [email protected] Abstract This research explores the use of augmented reality technologies in the field of visual arts, focusing on the way that visitors and artwork interact. The bib- liographic research focuses on exploring the definitions of augmented reality and interaction. The historical overview defines the two above-mentioned fields and looks into their connection with art, via exploration of their visual charac- teristics. We present the implementation methodology for such enhanced art- work and the process of interaction with the observer. Our research extends beyond typical presentation and citation of augmented and interactive visual works as it sets two main objectives a) discuss the way the artistic work which use augmented reality technologies interacts with the visitor, as well as b) pres- ent how human senses are stimulated through visual art work when new inter- active augmented reality technologies are employed. Keywords: Augmented reality, Interaction, Art - Technology, Multisensory Multimedia, New-Media Art. Introduction In recent years there has been a rapid evolution of augmented reality technolo- gies and applications that have found their way in various everyday fields. This has resulted applying those technologies into various fields such as education, medicine, gaming and art. Here with the term art we refer to the visual and interactive arts. Our research focuses on the application of augmented reality technologies to the visual arts.

This exhibition was held for a period of one month at Brazilian Bank Cultural Center and integrated III Understanding Visual Music Symposium (2015). This international event brought together artists from four continents and has been considered one of the most important academic forums dedicated to the study of the relationship between music and image. The works presented in the exhibition dealt with different possibilities of and the need for interaction with the public. Further, interesting discussions were raised, especially related to the possibilities and need for preservation of these works. These debates were unfolded to the plan of artistic dissemination; moreover, have embraced considerations about ephemeral art. Keywords: visual music, interactive art, ephemeral art, UVM 2015 Symposium Introduction Understanding Visual Music Symposium is an international scientific meeting dedicated to developing and sharing knowledge in a branch of study called visual music. UVM 2015 Symposium focused on research-creation processes and the multiple relations between art, science and new technologies. We understand those are key factors in obtaining creative results when working with a universe composed of moving images and organized sound. During the event, the participants had the opportunity to share research outcomes, experiences, showing their artistic works, as well as to discuss concepts, current trends, technological innovations, aspects related to creativity and innovative use of technology (Corrêa, 2015).

  • 3 Two Decades of Interactive Art: Digital Technologies and Human Experience
    3 Two Decades of Interactive Art: Digital Technologies and Human Experience Simon Penny As I write this in 2011, it is sobering to reflect on the fact that after a couple of decades of explosive development in new media art—or “digital multimedia” as it used to be called—in screen-based as well as “embodied” and gesture-based interaction, there seems not to have been much advance in the aesthetics of interaction. At the same time, interaction schemes and dynamics once only known in obscure corners of the world of media art research/creation have found their way into commodities from 3-D TV and game devices (Wii, Kinect) to smartphones (iPhone, Android). While increasingly sophisticated theoretical analyses (from Lev Manovich to Wendy Hui Kyong Chun to Mark Hansen, and more recently Nathaniel Stern among others) have brought diverse perspectives to bear, I am troubled by the fact that we appear to have advanced little in our ability to qualitatively discuss the characteristics of aesthetically rich interaction and interactivity—not to mention the complexities of designing interaction as artistic practice—in ways that can function as a guide to production as well as a theoretical discourse. This essay is an attempt at such a conversation.1 Historical Gloss—the Confluence of Two Great Rivers I identify a two-decade period—roughly speaking from 1985 to 2005—as the pioneer- ing experimental period of (computer-based) interactive art. At the beginning of the period the graphical user interface was a novelty, the Internet barely existed, the web was a decade away, and interactivity was an intriguing concept.
