Halsell DXARTS Research Associate Joshua Parmenter DXARTS Appendix E | Placement of graduates, last 3 years Due to the youth of the DXARTS program, placement data is not yet available. Appendix F | Mission Statement The commitment to the distinctive strengths of DXARTS is captured in the unit’s mission statement. The central strength of the Program in Digital Arts and Experimental Media comes from the creative convergence of dedicated digital arts faculty from the visual and performing arts, music, design, architecture, humanities, engineering, and science disciplines. The broad matrix of interrelated research activity provides the foundation and serves as a central feature in the creation of the new and emerging technology based art forms that are invented in DXARTS. The collected rich perspectives and resources are uniquely organized in DXARTS towards individual artistic vision, collaborative creative practice, advanced technology research and development, and critical scholarship. The program’s main goals are designed: • To harness the creative interactions among these faculty and their unique disciplines and serve the campus as an incubator for innovative research, education, artistic production, community and industry collaboration. • To challenge basic assumptions about art and art practice, dissolve boundaries between disciplines in order to invigorate and intensify innovation and further question distinctions such as notions of art object and apparatus, theatrical performance and experiment, artist as author and audience as passive viewer. • To develop sophisticated research, teaching methods and new technical means that promote the advancement of theory and generative practice necessary for continued growth and invention, and pursue a broad range of scholarly investigations that explore emerging philosophical and scientific issues in digital and experimental arts. • To generate a pool of expert digital and experimental artists who work with the utmost technical sophistication, intellectual rigor, and artistic virtuosity in a rapidly emerging field • To give digital artists the opportunity and equitable institutional support to attain the equivalent level of intellectual and professional achievement at the culmination of their graduate studies as their peers and partners in all areas of the Humanities, the Sciences, Engineering, and in the allied generative arts field of Music Composition and Computer Music, for which doctoral degrees are the normative terminal degree for graduate students. • To support the University of Washington, other universities that are on similar paths, and still others that will follow our lead, to demand of digital arts students a new level of rigorous and original research and creative work by the final stages of their graduate studies and in all steps leading towards the conferral of the Ph.D. degree. • To expect our graduates to create individual and significant artistic visions, a broad range of practical experience, and a body of substantial work they will need to prepare them for leadership roles in pioneering the new artistic and technical. • To establish the University of Washington as one of the world’s leading institutions for the creation and study of new forms of digital art and culture.

    GA2012 – XV Generative Art Conference Boris Magrini Paper: Should generative art be political? Abstract: The history of generative art began long ago. Over time, it has come to encompass a great variety of techniques and products. Despite this diversity, today generative art is strongly associated with a very restricted category of works, mainly abstract images produced using computer software and evolutionary algorithms. On the one hand, application of generative art to computer graphics, the movie and gaming industries, electronic music and architecture has helped to develop the form both conceptually and commercially; on the other hand, within the world of Topic: Visual Art contemporary art – and, more specifically, new media art – generative art seems to be largely ignored or misunderstood as Authors: an artistic production.

Contact: [email protected] Dismantling the Monolith: Post-Media Art and the Culture of Instability Nora Almeida, Pratt Institute Abstract—Art that falls under the “new media” paradigm is problematic, or rather, it renders many traditional assumptions about art as problematic. In a practical sense, new media art raises funda- mental questions about the nature of curation and preservation and the role of cultural heritage institutions as stewards of digital assets. Curation and preservation challenges, while significant, are fundamentally a symptom of a more catastrophic failure of concepts and language to adequately address changing relationships between art, materiality, and audiences. This article explores how burgeoning concepts in information and media theory may help shape curation contexts and rede- fine approaches to preservation. Some of the ongoing challenges that practitioners face and current practices for preserving and curating born-digital artworks are examined through the lens of “post- media” theory. The concept of the “new repository” is introduced and discussed in relation to concerns about digital curation, commodification, authenticity, and intentionality. digital pasts and digital futures The problem of curating and preserving artwork reliant upon technology and mani- fested in digital formats is not new.

    Media-N | The Journal of the New Media Caucus 2019: Volume 15, Issue 1, Pages 1–2 ISSN: 1942-017X Media-N | Autonomous Art Systems Nick Bontrager Associate Professor of Art, Texas Christian University Adam Fung Associate Professor of Art, Texas Christian University Media-N, the Journal of the New Media Caucus, invited submissions for this issue about the use of Autonomous Art Systems, tethered and untethered systems of making, autonomous vehicles, and related programming in creative fields of study. Relevant subjects included: artworks that address concepts of drones or surveillance as subject or form; the influence of emerging technologies on studio art practices; or critical/historical analysis of the entanglement of art and technology. While offering insight into how artists are working with these evolving and emerging systems, especially in an ever-changing environment of current and pending legislation, this issue draws parallels between autonomous art systems and the impact of portable video recorders on the arts in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In looking back on specific histories of art and technology, this issue’s contributors reference immediacy and shifts in artistic production but perhaps more importantly, pose the question: how will these new abilities, access, perspectives, and possible restrictions on technology be reflected in art practice of the future? By offering artists new visual perspectives and production values previously unattainable without substantial funding, autonomous art systems offer access to both reference and production imagery which have significantly impacted the speed and scope of answered questions and desired research in the artists’ studio. The immediate ability to explore our physical world untethered and share this information is both empowering and overwhelming to the artist, unbounded, albeit for the span of the battery life.

  • Media Art and Future Technologies : Art at the Interface Between Lab and Gallery
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2011 Media art and future technologies : art at the interface between lab and gallery Schlachetzki, Sarah M Abstract: The dissertation Media Art and Future Technologies. Art at the Interface Between Lab and Gallery focuses on current interrelationships between art and science. In the past few years, there has been a remarkable increase in attempts to foster the exchange between art, technology, and science – an exchange taking place at academies, museums, or even in research laboratories. Against this background, the dissertation analyzes two case studies on media art at the interface between lab and gallery. The interplay of art and technology is discussed within the context of the so-called Device Art in Japan. Actors in the field of Device Art position themselves in a national funding environment, inwhichart intersects with the promotion of the Japanese ‘content industry’. The second case study on international nanoart highlights interactive installations that are often created by media artists in collaboration with nanoscientists. Nanoart exemplifies the hope of artists, curators, and theorists to overcome thegap between the disparate spheres of art and science in our knowledge-based society. The two case studies on media art within the context of technology and science are bound together in a third chapter. Here, a discourse analysis illuminates the persistence of modernity’s rhetorical tropes in the current ‘art and science’ boom. The artistic positions under scrutiny thus appear as the ongoing attempt to localize media art’s role within technological and societal change.
