A burning curiosity as to how the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer developed a level of photorealism more than two centuries before the arrival of photography made these people explore it.

About eight years ago, Jenison started exploring what technologies Vermeer might have used to get his staged images so faithfully transferred to canvas. The notion of lenses and mirrors being harnessed extensively in the age of the camera obscura had already been detailed in two books of the past decade: David Hockney’s Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters; and Vermeer’s Camera: Uncovering the Truth Behind the Masterpieces, by Philip Steadman. Both men appear here to bolster the argument.
With Penn Jillette as enthusiastic tour guide, we follow Jenison to Delft, Holland, which lets him prowl around the artist’s neighbourhood, and to Buckingham Palace, where the Queen of England has the original of The Music Lesson on (nonpublic) display. This is the spectacularly crowded composition Jenison decided to re-create in his Texas warehouse, in which he installed a replica of Vermeer’s studio, developed optical gizmos and built props while grinding colours from scratch, et cetera, leading to six tedious months at the drawing board in an attempt to prove his howhedunnit.

Bolstered by clever editing and an excellent neoclassical score, the film somewhat underplays the amount of ingenuity it took Vermeer to visualize, as opposed to merely capturing, the images that became The Milkmaid and The Girl With a Pearl Earring. But Jenison’s finished simulation—clinically impressive but oddly lifeless—testifies to the vital difference that art actually makes.

Art, made with code: calling all future interactive artists
In between creating masterpieces like the Sistine Chapel and “Madonna and Child,” Michelangelo dissected cadavers in the hopes of understanding how the human body worked so he could paint it accurately. He’s not the only one: there has long been a connection between science and art. And it’s true today more than ever, as modern artists use technology for inspiration, inventing ways to give life to code, letting it spill from the screen and onto the canvas. We call this “DevArt,” and this summer, we’re teaming up with the Barbican in London and their Digital Revolution exhibition to celebrate DevArt in an interactive gallery. And we want you to be a part of it.

As part of this exhibition, we’re looking for the next up-and-coming developer artist. This is your opportunity to express your creativity, and to have your work featured in the Barbican and seen by millions of people around the world. To throw your hat in the ring, build a project on the DevArt site and show us what you would create. From there, we’ll pick one creator whose work will sit alongside three of the world’s finest interactive artists who are also creating installations for DevArt: Karsten Schmidt, Zach Lieberman, and the duo Varvara Guljajeva and Mar Canet.

Reposting from Roger Malina's blog:

Beginning Jan 17 2014 I am teaching a graduate seminar for PhD students at UT Dallas ATEC program on Research Methods in Art Science Technology-this is a required course for all out PhD students. I will be teaching and developing the syllabus using a flipped classroom and collaborative learning- the topics will surely include- fundraising in AST, publishing and documenting ones work, training in transdisciplinary collaborations. I would be interested in finding out who else is teaching a research methods in art/science/technology course so we can share curriculum and enable student interaction. I am interested in novel syllabus components and approaches that are relevant to both explicit and implicit knowledge !

LACMA Launches Art + Technology Lab

An exciting thing happened today: we launched our new Art + Technology Lab at LACMA. The Lab is an experiment in bringing artists and technologists together to develop projects that we plan to share with the public here at the museum. We also issued our first call for proposals. Artists and collectives interested in pursuing projects that engage emerging technology are invited to apply by January 27, 2014, for grants up to $50,000, plus in-kind support from our advisory board and participating technology companies.

CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL CREATIVITY
Computational Creativity is the art, science, philosophy and engineering of computational systems that, by taking on particular responsibilities, exhibit behaviors that an unbiased observer would deem creative. As a field of research this area is thriving, with progress being made in formalizing what it means for software to be creative, along with many exciting and valuable applications of creative software in the sciences, the arts, literature, gaming and elsewhere. The Fifth International Conference on Computational Creativity will be held 10?13 June 2014 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Original contributions are solicited in all areas related to Computational Creativity research and practice. Deadline to submit: 31 January 2014
