“The Aesthetic and Corporeal Embodiment of Big Data”
Two challenges face us in the age of digitization. First the techniques and technologies of visualization that can allow us to meaningfully represent an overgrowing density of information. Second the techniques of embodiment that will allow us to meaningfully experience, navigate and transact such big data sets in mixed reality situations. Professor Shaw’s presentation will demonstrate a multidisciplinary approach to these challenges, with many examples of his ground breaking artistic research in immersive interactive visualization.

“Matter under control: a human dream made true”
“One of the oldest dreams of the human kind is probably to control matter with the mind. To see our dreams eventually realized. Information technologies have made our potential coming closer to this objective. We can give shape to matter and get the physical outcome without touching it. The process should be called Reification.
Its opposite is another antique dream: to convert matter, let’s say the world, into a “thinkable” material, computable material. Converting the world into data that can be understood by natural or artificial brains is the counterpart of Reification. I call it Sublimation.

“Practicable: From Participation to Interaction in Contemporary Art”
How are we to understand works of art that are realized with the physical involvement of the viewer? A relationship between a work of art and its audience that is rooted in an experience that is both aesthetic and physical? Today, these works often use digital technologies, but artists have created participatory works since the 1950s. In his talk, Samuel Bianchini will offer diverse perspectives on this kind of “practicable” art that bridges contemplation and use, discussing and documenting a wide variety of works from the last several decades. Considering both works that are technologically mediated and those that are not, as long as they are characterized by a process of reciprocal exchange, this presentation will propose an historical frame for practicable works, discussing, among other things, the emergence and influence of cybernetics.
