Mechanical art: Japanese scientists unveil robot calligrapher

Japanese researchers have found way to preserve the centuries old tradition of calligraphy. They have created a robot that memorize artist’s brush strokes and recreates art and calligraphy.

The robot needs to be taught before it can create something. The artist starts drawing calligraphy while his brush is attached to the robot’s mechanical hand. It remembers each move the artist makes, the pressure on the brush and the angles and then just copies them, Agence France Presse reports.

“The device is endowed with a motor that moves as the person moves the brush. And then the moves are recorded digitally. Then the robot uses the same motor to produce the exact same moves,” Associate Professor Seichiro Katsura of Keio University explains.

The aim of the robot is to preserve the traditional Japanese calligraphy and can also be used to recreate other pieces of art.

Call for papers:

Wearable and Mobile Interactions: Contemporary Perspectives in Art, Design, and Science, Leonardo Electronic Almanac

Deadline January 10, 2013

The wearable and mobile technologies are a knowledge area in constant development, evoking significant transformations on human/machine communication to configure an effective and affective interface. Those technological artifacts have augmented the personal boundaries redesigning the corporeal schema and lived experiences of bodily spatiality. Exchanges between biological and technological systems have constructed possible dialogues evoking questions and pointing out challenges.

The Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA) is inviting proposals for an issue on these themes co-edited by senior editors Lanfranco Aceti, Luisa Paraguai and Rachel Zuanon.

Proposals are invited from artists, designers and scientists that work on issues related to the creation and the development of wearable and mobile technologies. Interdisciplinary proposals that merge art, design, science and technology are particularly welcome and concern with:

1.body-technology relationship;
2.textile technologies and smart textiles;
3.environmental, economical and social sustainability;
4.bodyspace and mobility;
5.sensory experiences;
6.user’s behaviors;
7.social networks and
8.affective interactions.

The Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA) will produce an online and printed issue, as well as host curated images and videos online.

Proposals to: info@leoalmanac.org

a) Subject heading: “Wearable and Mobile Interactions: Contemporary Perspectives in Art, Design, and Science”
b) 500 hundred word abstract for articles – submission of full articles preferred for this special issue by proposal deadline January 10, 2013. It’s recommended to include:
b1) 2 images at 72 dpi resolution no larger than 800 pixels width
b2) Links to previous work, videos or personal sites for artists and designers
c) Deadline for submission of full article: April 10, 2013.

Exhibition
September 29 - December 31, 2012, Starting sundown every evening
Goethe-Institut Montréal, 1626, boul. St-Laurent, suite 100
Free Admission

When do I see Photons ?

Participating Artists: Vera Drebusch, Verena Friedrich, Jan Goldfuß, Hörner/Antlfinger and Sunjha Kim

When do I see photons? asked the cyberneticist, author and linguistic theorist Oswald Wiener in his tome Problems of Artificial Intelligence (1990). Photons are the smallest particles of light which stimulate the retina, but can we see them? Wiener’s question about the physical laws of seeing led us to fundamental questions of consciousness: seeing is, for the most part, a construction; can we see what we don’t know? The first show at the Goethe-Institut’s new location presents selected works from the Transmedialen Raum der Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln (the Transmedialen Raum of the Academy of Media Arts Cologne) that have as a theme the making visible of processes and relationships. For three months the windows of the Goethe-Institut will become membranes for the transmission of images and sounds in the public space. The artists in the exhibition explore the connecting patterns in software and nature, the societal construct of human-animal relationships, and the power of language and cell material in laboratories. As part of the exhibition programming, the public is also invited on a photon-assisted walk through nocturnal Montreal.

Neuromedia Art and Research
Until March 17th 2013
Kulturama: Science Museum, Englischviertelstrasse 9, Zürich NEUROMEDIA is an exhibition by artist Jill Scott merging neurobiological anatomy and physiology studies with media art. The innovative exhibition features four interactive sculptures (SOMABOOK, THE ELECTRIC RETINA, «ESKIN» AND DERMALAND) involving scientific research results as well as documentary films on the scientists and involved, the artist and her work processes. The exhibition offers profound insight into the relationship between art and science. Inspired by molecular and cellular research, cinema, philosophy and human health, NEUROMEDIA was developed while Scott was artist-in-residence at the University of Zürich from 2004 - 2012. This is the first time these artworks are being exhibited in a science museum. NEUROMEDIA will allow you to discover surprising dimensions about your own levels of human perception.

Interactive Media Innovation
Interactive Media Innovation is a research project funded by the Australian Research Council and the Australia Council for the Arts.
The aims of the project are to examine the role of creative innovation in the context of interactive media entertainment and to explore how successful companies in this space derive and exploit creative inspiration. The questions the project ask are 'What sort of external source of creative inspiration can an artist bring to a studio which creates interactive media entertainment?' & 'What happens when you bring experts together from two very different creative areas to explore collaborative co-creation?'
To help answer these questions, will run several artists workshops around the country and manage a number of artist placements throughout Australia.

Mathematics and fine art: Digitizing paintings through image processing

The current trend to digitize everything is not lost on fine art. Documenting, distributing, conserving, storing and restoring paintings require that digital copies be made. The Google Art Project, which brings art from galleries around the world to online audiences, was launched in early 2011 for precisely these reasons. Google's project has been a complex undertaking, however, carried out under carefully controlled settings using state-of-the-art equipment and requiring rigorous postproduction work.

In a paper published this month in the SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, authors Gloria Haro, Antoni Buades and Jean-Michel Morel propose a far simpler technique that can achieve reliable reproductions of paintings using fusion of photographs taken from different angles through statistical methods. The simple photographic procedure eliminates the need for sophisticated illumination and acquisition requirements. The postproduction process, while intensive, is fully automated.

The fusion of multiple images of a painting from well-chosen angles can eliminate glare, highlights and motion blur. Robust statistical methods reduce noise and compensate for optical distortion, thus addressing the problem of uncontrolled illumination and destructive reflection that tends to be seen in many digitized paintings.

An original 16 mm computer generated film by Manfred Mohr 'Cubic Limit' (1973-1974) has been converted into digital format. The quality of the copy is not good, but nevertheless shows the film from that time. A header and trailer is added.
Sequences from the film were published in the catalog Manfred Mohr, "Cubic Limit", Galerie Weiller, Paris, 1975
with the caption: Images du Film (16 mm) 'Cubic Limit'
