In May, Artspace will be exhibiting three projects that focus on the experimental use of robotics in a visual arts practice in the lead-up to ISEA2013 in June. Through these works by Sydney-based Petra Gemeinboeck & Rob Saunders, Sydney-based Mari Velonaki and New Zealand-based Simon Ingram, viewers will see the deconstruction of gallery walls, paintings created onsite by a remotely operated machine and a humanoid woman occupying the gallery space.

Tania Candiani: Five Variations of Phonic Circumstances and a Pause
Tania Candiani’s Cinco Variaciones de Circunstancias Fónicas y Una Pausa (Five Variations of Phonic Circumstances and a Pause). In this show, Candiani exhibits a number of diverse works, yet all of them are built using recent technology. In many cases, the technology was used as a medium to poetically and melancholically recall old but rich, machinery while also exploring sound as well as language.

From Leonardo:

ART & TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM (ATEC) AT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, DALLAS
Leonardo is pleased to feature Art & Technology program (ATEC) at University of Texas, Dallas as a renewing Leonardo Affiliate Member. Beyond merely a "multidisciplinary" or "interdisciplinary" scope, the Art & Technology program (ATEC) at University of Texas, Dallas encourages the productive convergence of disparate fields and modes of thinking. It joins science with the humanities, creativity with technology, theory with practice, and learning with research. There are no maps showing the way, just students with diverse interests, talents, and a skewed way of looking at the ever-changing world. Students master emerging tools, form unexpected relationships, collaborate, and create the future.

From Google art project- part 3:

Many partners  who have contributed an art collection have also opted to put their museums on Street View. On average, visitors spend around two minutes exploring the interior of the buildings and viewing the paintings on display. The most-visited Street View destination on Art Project is The White House. As the majority of us will never get the opportunity to go inside, the Internet allows a rare glimpse into a global institution that also houses an extensive art collection.

With over 200 partners from 43 countries, we continue our quest to open up access to art to millions of professionals, students, beginners and amateur enthusiasts. At 1pm ET today, we’ll be holding the latest in our Art Talks series on our G+ page, which aims to put art lovers in touch with art experts online. Sign up here to hangout with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to chat about multimedia in the arts from the comfort of your armchair on World Art Day.

From Google blogs- part 2:

The other most popular inclusions in user galleries (in order) are :

• Botticelli: The Birth of Venus
• Rembrandt: Self Portrait Drawing at a Window
• van Gogh: The Bedroom
• Manet: In the Conservatory
• Bruegel (the Elder): The Harvesters
• van Gogh: Sunflowers
• Holbein (the Younger): The Ambassadors
• van Gogh: Field with Flowers near Arles
• Böcklin: The Isle of the Dead

Viewings of user galleries were in fact higher than any individual artist or painting. To date, 360,000 galleries have been created, 14,000 of which are public on the web. To mark World Art Day, we asked some of our partners to curate user galleries of their own. Take a look through the selections of eight museum directors here.

Given the list above, it’s clear the classics remain popular with viewers, but there is increasing interest in modern art as well, with Dali and Klimt featuring among the most searched for artists. The Internet has also allowed users to explore multiple genres in a single destination. More than 30 different mediums co-exist on Art Project with oil on canvas next to over 5,000 objects including silk textiles, sculptures and furniture. There can't be many places where you can find Brazilian street art alongside Botticelli.

Taking a minute to enjoy some art on World Art Day

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 01:35 AM PDT

Today is World Art Day and it's around two years since we launched Google Art Project. In honour of this and all our partners, large and small, traditional and modern, let’s take a quick look at how people are interacting with art online.

The Internet brings paintings to life and it seems that The Starry Night by van Gogh is the one that visitors to Art Project admire the most. In the past six months, this was the most viewed painting in gigapixel—an extremely high resolution painting which allows viewers to zoom in to brushstroke level. While nothing beats seeing a painting in real life, the ability to examine a work of art in this level of detail seems to be encouraging viewers to linger. One minute is the average time spent looking at any given painting on the Art Project website, compared to under 20 seconds (according to several studies) in a museum.

The Starry Night is also the most frequently included painting in user galleries, where individuals create and share their own virtual art collections. We have 40,000 works of art on the platform but some remain perennial favourites.

Participants will be introduced to the basics of soft circuitry, some basic electronics, Arduino software, programming, and reading a sensor. At the end of the day they will have a functioning interactive sensor, which they can sew onto a garment, bag or cushion cover.

National Science Foundation CCLI Grant

Linking Science, Art, and Practice Through Digital Sound

This project's objective is to develop curricular material that explains the science and mathematics of digital sound in a way that makes their relationship to applications clear, using examples from theatre, movies, and music production. This is a collaborative project among computer science, education, and digital sound design professors at a liberal arts university and a performing arts conservatory.

The intention is to engage students' interest in science by linking it more tightly to practice, including artistic applications. The vision is to draw more students to the study of computer science by means of its exciting connections with art and digital media.
