PDF-(EBOOK)-Technology Design and the Arts - Opportunities and Challenges (Springer Series

This open access book details the relationship between the artist and their created works using tools such as information technology computer environments and interactive devices for a range of information sources and application domainsnbsp This has produced new kinds of created works which can be viewed explored and interacted with either as an installation or via a virtual environment such as the Internetnbsp These processes generate new dimensions of understanding and experience for both the artist and the public8217s relationships with the works that are producednbsp This has raised a variety of interdisciplinary opportunities and issues and these are examinednbsp The symbiotic relationship between artistic works and the cultural context in which they are produced is reviewednbsp Technology can provide continuity by making traditional methods and techniques more efficient and effectivenbsp It can also provide discontinuity by opening up new perspectives and paradigmsnbsp This can generate new ideas and produce a greater understanding of artistic processes and how they are implemented in practiceTools have been used from the earliest times to create and modify artistic worksnbsp For example naturally occurring pigments have been used for cave paintingsnbsp What has been created provides insight into the cultural context and social environment at the time of creationnbsp There is an interplay between the goal of the creator the selection and use of appropriate tools and the materials and representations chosenTechnology Design and the Arts Opportunities and Challenges is relevant for artists and technologists and those engaged in interdisciplinary research and development at the boundaries between these disciplines.

The Desired Brand Effect Stand Out in a Saturated Market with a Timeless Brand The Desired Brand Effect Stand Out in a Saturated Market with a Timeless Brand The Desired Brand Effect Stand Out in a Saturated Market with a Timeless Brand The Desired Brand Effect Stand Out in a Saturated Market with a Timeless Brand This book focuses on the global quality of the design of systems that people interact with during their work activities and daily lives a quality that involves the globality of people8217s experience 8211 physical sensory cognitive and emotional. It presents a concise and structured overview of the ergonomic approach to planning and of methodological and operational tools from ergonomic research that can more directly and concretely contribute to the design process. The book also explores physical ergonomics and cognitive ergonomics which are essential components of design culture. The final section addresses the main design problems and intervention criteria regarding the design of environments products and equipment as well as the design of communication training and learning interface systems based on digital technologies. The book is chiefly intended for designers and anyone interested in the methods tools and opportunities for in-depth analysis and development that ergonomics can offer regarding the conception production and testing of products environments and services whether physical or virtual. It also offers a learning resource for professionals and students in Industrial Design and Planning. Computing is transforming how we interact with music. New theories and new technologies have emerged that present fresh challenges and novel perspectives for researchers and practitioners in music and human-computer interaction (HCI). In this collection the interdisciplinary field of music interaction is considered from multiple viewpoints designers interaction researchers performers composers audiences teachers and learners dancers and gamers.nbspThe book comprises both original research in music interaction and reflections from leading researchers and practitioners in the field. It explores a breadth of HCI perspectives and methodologies from universal approaches to situated research within particular cultural and aesthetic contexts. Likewise it is musically diverse from experimental to popular classical to folk including tango laptop orchestras composition and free improvisation. This book addresses the application of computing to cultural heritage and the discipline of Digital Humanities that formed around it. Digital Humanities research is transforming how the Human record can be transmitted shaped understood questioned and imagined and it has been ongoing for more than 70 years. However we have no comprehensive histories of its research trajectory or its disciplinary development. The authors make a first contribution towards remedying this by uncovering documenting and analysing a number of the social intellectual and creative processes that helped to shape this research from the 1950s until the present day.By taking an oral history approach this book explores questions like among others researchers8217 earliest memories of encountering computers and the factors that subsequently prompted them to use the computer in Humanities research.Computation and the Humanitiesnbspwill be an essential read for cultural and computing historians digital humanists and those interested in developments like the digitisation of cultural heritage and artefacts.This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license This bookcombines work from curators digital artists human computer interactionresearchers and computer scientists to examine the mutual benefits andchallenges posed when working together to support digital art works in theirmany forms. In Curating the Digitalwe explore how we can work together to make space for art and interaction. Welook at the various challenges such as the dynamic nature of our media theproblems posed in preserving digital art works and the thorny problems of howwe assess and measure audience8217s reactions to interactive digital work. Curating the Digital is an outcome of a multi-disciplinary workshop that took place atSICHI2014 in Toronto. The participants from the workshop reflected on the themeof Curating the Digital via a series of presentations and rapid prototypingexercises to develop a catalogue for the future digital art gallery. Theresults produce a variety of insights both around the theory and philosophy ofcurating digital works and also around the practical and technicalpossibilities and challenges. We present these complimentary chapters so thatother researchers and practitioners in related fields will find motivation andimagination for their own work.
