Large Displays in Urban Spaces and Elsewhere - Gigantic: Mediation Beyond Surface
- Mediated space continues to redefine its possibilities as large scale surfaces increasingly become playable displays. Now that we can be increasingly immersed in gigantic image spaces the panel will investigate how surface has become frameless and how we can begin to explore image cities and propose imaged planets. The soil itself can be reinvented as a programmable material, leading towards artificial ecologies that are pure design. Our cities buildings are now so completely skinned in display that the entire urban experience becomes media. Smart materials and controlled reactions are being developed that promise massive reactive surfaces in which material behavior is the message. Immersive displays are being removed from scientific contexts with both domes and 360-degree systems being repurposed for digital humanities and creative experimentation. These model projects are fundamentally transdisciplinary, not just in their creation but also in their impact and ability to infect and engage large audiences and transform institutional orthodoxy. We are inside the image now, the ultimate spectacle, and actively exploring how programmable spaces and surfaces can be used for artistic pu... [READ MORE]

- Art history has been largely concerned with ‘after the event’ forms of analysis – as evidenced in its heavy reliance on exhibition reviews and catalogues for instance. Yet timesensitive creative events like Hong Kong’s Umbrella Revolution (2014) remind us of the need for effective archival and critical response mechanisms. Art historians, archivists and curators understand what data they will need to work with in the short and long term if digital and new media, time-based, live, and event-based arts are to be adequately preserved, analysed and historicised. Yet there are no clear models for rapidly capturing relevant materials ‘in the moment’. [READ MORE]

- The aim of this panel session is to analyze and compare possible new venues, media, methodologies and forms that generative practices are taking today. We claim that a combination of analytical, playful and critical approaches in understanding and using technologies is important in today’s art world. The discussions will start by addressing the creative and cognitive aspects of procedural fluency in creating, reading or interpreting a generative artwork. By assessing the perceptual interaction with generative art, we will continue to question the narrative and performative qualities of this relatively new form. These two sections will introduce us to the contemporary smart cities as venues for generative practices and a notion of engaging city dwellers to participate in this complex system of networks and devices. Furthermore, we will discuss the new potential divergences of generative art practice. Biotechnology and quantum mechanics open another unimaginable field of generative activities that, equally to other venues, require critical, analytical and creative use of technology. [READ MORE]

- The People´s Smart Sculpture Abstract The People’s Smart Sculpture (PS2) panel discusses future oriented approaches in smart media-art, developed, designed and exploited for artistic and public participation in the change and re-design of our living environment. The actual debate about a smart future is not taking into account any idea of media art as an instrument for to realize the social sculpture, mentioned by Beuys [1] or as social sculpture itself. The People’s Smart Sculpture is the only large scale Creative Europe media-art project (2014-2018) in this context. It fosters participative-art and collaborative media-art-processes. The artistic results and the open approaches of the project will be discussed by 5 panelists from 5 countries. The project itself is constituted by 12 project-partners in 8 European countries with more than 350 artists and creatives from 29 countries worlwide. The approach works on two levels: the implementation of cultural participation-projects by media-artists and the ongoing optimization of the art and participation aspects. PS2 integrates diverse groups of people to participate in the non-institutional set up of structures for the people´s ... [READ MORE]

As a panel of artist researchers, we offer critical accounts of artistic acts with data that arouse aversion or disgust. We address the following; 1) speculative art fictions that engage with the resistances and revolts of microbes in computational ecologies; 2) the biopolitics of our corporeal matter, using the material transformation of blood into artwork as a case study; 3) artistic research and practice as a study of small things, tiny revolts and frequencies of interference; 4) the boundary between life and death, growth and decay; and 5) the biopolitics of disgust through artworks that invite visitors to eat food produced from members of the human microbiome.
Background
Our panel, (Re)volting data is a response to the ISEA2016 theme of Cultural R/evolution. Discussions of Big Data have drawn attention to corporate acquisition and manipulation of personal data, alerting us to the socalled ‘scraping’ of our “online” identities and social media. From sweat pouring into our smart phones to urinating in sewage systems, we generate petrabytes amounts of quantifiable data, most of which becomes indeterminate to us. Plants, nonhuman animals and m... [READ MORE]

In December 2013, the American president, Barrack Obama released a video on YouTube encouraging youth to embrace computer programming and practice coding. His video kicked off the nationwide Computer Science Education Week, in which there was a one-hour school tutorial introducing students computer programming. The New York Mayor Bill de Blasio recently claimed, “Hundreds of thousands of good jobs will be accessible to those with coding and other essential skills.” In a recent viral social media post, “Stop Teaching Programming, Start Teaching Computational Thinking”, Tom Igoe from the NYU, Interactive Telecommunications Program questioned the pragmatic purpose of learning programming and suggested learning to program can make you a more expressive person. The presentation invited three early practitioners in Hong Kong creative art/design scenes to address the issues and concerns of offering coding education in the creative industries.,/p.

- We are living in a world where software is central to every field of social, political, and economic import. Governments are imposing coding into primary and secondary school curricula as they begin to understand the importance and urgency of engaging with these technologies. How do we make sense of and trust these myriad manifestations of software, or even know or understand who or what is behind the code that creates and designs our mediated reality? How can we have agency to disrupt and change mainstream society’s dominant control through this meta-medium? Where do we start? This panel will share our knowledge of strategies to promote critical engagement with software.
Introduction
This Panel session will consist of four 15-minute presentations as described in the sections to follow. Panelists will address the following questions:
- Artists and Code. What strategies are used to encourage artists to utilise coding in their practice?
- Computational Thinking in Art/Design Education – How can we develop Computational Thinking as a fundamental foundation of creative imagination?
- Transcoding Place through media platforms, will answer,... [READ MORE]

- This panel highlights scholarship in the area of games and gaming in the Chinese-speaking world. The panel thus fits a wider pattern of increased attention to regional games and gaming. The three papers explore various “glocalized” ways in which the global and the local—or here, rather, the regional (“the Chinese”)—intersect in terms of design and production of, as well as discourses around (news media coverage, scholarship, fiction), games and gaming in China. Glocalizing game studies The development of the Chinese game industry over the last 10 years is well-reported. According to Fan, at the end of 2012 revenue from online and offline PC and mobile games in China stood at just over 60 billion RMB (9.5 billion US dollars), having increased by 33% in 2011 and 35% in 2012. This rapid development has drawn the attention of many scholars, commentators and game producers eager to understand the political, social and commercial implications of increasingly vibrant and diverse gaming cultures (and markets) across the Chinese-speaking world. This panel has been put together to highlight some of the scholarship currently happening in and related to games and gami... [READ MORE]

- Although livestreaming has been technically possible for years, the recent surge in popularity was primarily driven by the broadcasting of videogames. In the past two years, gamingcentric livestreaming platforms such as Twitch.tv (US based) and Douyu.tv (China based) took off as not merely novel media platforms but a ubiquitous everyday entertainment for millions among other media platforms such as YouTube and Netflix. Livestreaming converges liveness (live broadcasting) and participatory culture (social interactions) on an unprecedented level. This panel considers firstly, how livestreaming problematizes the concepts of liveness in contemporary contexts of broadcasting over wired and wireless internets compared to the televisual age. And secondly, the panel asks how livestreaming induces various forms of participatory culture which encourages the platform to be a space both of play and productive activities. Introduction Although livestreaming has been “technically within the realm of the possible” for years, the recent surge in popularity was primarily driven by the broadcasting of videogames. In the past two years, gaming-centric live streaming platforms such as... [READ MORE]

- This panel will deal with art, media and science via the concept of the ‘spin’ as a fundamental in quantum research where flux and vibration are at the very core. The historical model of media art, science and technology must now include the potential of the quantum phenomena through the emergence of the quantum computer. The subatomic world tantalises us with startling phenomena, but lies deep beneath the surface of human experience, forever hidden from direct observation. Data captured through complex physics experiments reveal quantum behaviours, but unlike scientific meanings constructed to objectively explain such phenomena, the panel will explore the interactions between the subatomic and human realms. In the words of contemporary physicist Anton Zeilinger, this data from quantum experiments exists in a state of “primary reality” more fundamental than the meanings scientists construct to explain it. The panel will reflect how media art will have to deal with significant change based on the discoveries being made in controlling atoms at the core of new machines, including the quantum computer. The panel’s intuitive and insightful presentations will demonstrate how we... [READ MORE]

- “When we change the way we communicate, we change society”. This panel aims to provide the audience with a context to understand how social media technologies and the daily updating of the self is challenging our preconceptions of screen-based ‘Internet’ communication and influencing the development of our cultural/ personal identity(s) and sense of self. It will explore the use of portable; individual; personal; non identical; devices and their impact to our current lives through the present innovative communication apps. The panel would question whether being intimate with technology, in a non-anthropocentric way could provide new critical reflections on the self and how gender stereotypes will form the Internet of Bodies and the future human / machine directions.

- We will discuss the various ways that the Internet has empowered remote, networked, collaborative idea generating, knowledge sharing, and discussion. Through the specific examples of list-serves, e-conferencing, blogging, and e-curating, our assembled group of international specialists will share their experience in managing these online forums. In these virtual collaboratories individual participant contributions create a composite body of knowledge. E-discourse explodes the edifice of code that imposes implicit rules that affect styles of organization and communication — written, aural and visual. From stream of consciousness writing where individuals simply write random internal thoughts and narratives to conversational styles that engage others from the network, or formal lecture style writing where participants simply copy and paste previously published material, networked discourse displays the electric verve of networked communication. Specially coded interfaces can create a rhizomatic flurry of successes and failures affected by time, tone, regularity, and translation. More complicated are the effects of the apparent intrinsic cultural values of race, gender, affect, and ... [READ MORE]

The 1755 Lisbon earthquake was a cultural revolution that established an intimate relationship between data and nature. This panel examines how data has been increasingly perceived as an analogue of nature, capable of figuring its shape. The panel converges on this conflation by examining the politics and aesthetics of prediction, arguing that both data and nature are variable. Although data cannot be used to make precise predictions—such is the nature of nature, which precludes such figuring—data is one currency through which we might predict environments. Yet, if data is not nature expressed systematically, then what is data? Data both makes sense and generates sense by conjuring patterns in amassed signals; prediction then is a way of guessing where the next point will fall in an identified pattern.
The panel presents four case studies that (re)frame this relationship of data natures. The individual position papers locate scenarios in the internet of things, radiation ecologies, interactions with waste, and the collection of weather data by citizen science in order to explore the aesthetics of data and nature based on instability and variability. In these ... [READ MORE]

- Emerging Platforms for Artist Interaction is a panel that explores new ways artists use emerging media to fulfill traditional human communication strategies for exchanging ideas, expanding resources, critiquing new work, providing/receiving emotional support and developing communities. This panel discussion investigates how artists use widely available platforms like Loomio, Creative Disturbance, Meetup, Google Hangouts/Drive and Concept Board in resourceful ways to nurture human connection. Four distinctly different methods are shared by representatives from each group in a discussion format to unearth what is unique to their approach and the surprising interaction outcomes resulting from their use of emerging platforms as the basis for connection. Collectively, these groups are self-organizing to meet the challenges of our time starved, spatially divergent environments, countering the harsh climate of global capitalism and terror. The conversation is geared around the emotional and psychological work that these platforms provide to sustain community and intellectual curiosity and to help artists nourish well being and human connection in their lives and practice.

Panel 1: Sexually Explicit Imagery & Gender Politics in the Hong Kong Media Sphere
-
Through its development in urban entertainment and popular culture, sexually explicit media have become a wider range of industries to be viewed, interpreted and sexually enacted by performers and audiences. At the same time, the body image of commercial porn has been shifting away from its obsession with pure femininity or masculinity, as younger “edgier” models and matured-aged entrepreneurs have set up their businesses. The panel will show how pornography and the body image are adopted and reinvented by performers and audiences and debate feminist visions and “hateful” patriarchal responses within the expanding pornosphere.
