Stanford Humanities Lab

Laboratory for Mixed Realities

  • "The 'Laboratory for Mixed Realities' (LMR) is a science and arts institute recognised by the state of NRW, Germany. Interdisciplinary project teams made up of computer scientists and artists work together in close contact with industry and science partners on research and development projects, innovative productions and artistic media experiments. The LMR brings together the research and development aspects of computer science with artistic practices to develop both new media technologies and unusual artistic productions. As both of these worlds are characterised by completely different thought processes, work techniques, strengths and requirements, close interdisciplinary collaboration is essential to maximise the potential of both domains to find the most innovative solutions.
    • With regard to mixed realities, such collaboration is vital, not only to enable the fusion of the virtual and real worlds, but also to develop new technologies that break new ground and set the standards for innovation."

Media Arts Research Studies

  • MARS is an interdisciplinary group focusing on human presence in and experience of new technologies. The Media Exploratory Lab investigates the aesthetic of interactivity in the new media environments now integrated in our everyday life.

MARS develops full body interfaces which transfer the perception of our surroundings to the way we interact with digital space. Creating intuitive interfaces as synaesthetic sensors for the senses MARS opens up for new digital spaces for hearing, seeing and feeling.

Art beyond the age of the "technische Reproduzierbarkeit" raises the issues of networked communication, interactive environments, hypermedia structures, presence and identity in mixed realities. The body is the interface between the interior and the exterior, between reality and virtual reality. Through artistic experiments we look for languages of transition.

People

UC San Diego

"Sheldon Brown is Director of the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA) at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) where he is a Professor of Visual Arts and the head of New Media Arts for the California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technologies (Cal-(IT)2).

His work examines the relationships between mediated and physical experiences. This work often exists across a range of public realms.

As an artist, he is concerned about overlapping and reconfiguring private and public spaces; how new forms of mediation are proliferating co-existing public realms whose geographies and social organizations become ever more diverse. Art that explores schismatic junctions of these zones – the edges of their coherency - allow glimpses into their formative structures and provide a view that suggests transformative modes of being, extending constrained boundaries."

Other Examples

  • Breaking the Game,
    • "The symposium was conducted exclusively through a variety of telematic technologies: iChat, Skype, virtual walkthroughs, an online forum, and email."
  • Museums and the Web 2007,
    • "Troy McLuhan lands a full-sized, three-dimensional Lunar Excursion Module on the stage. While he is lecturing, the audience is also asking questions in chat and adding comments. Audience members also talk privately via IM, so as not to interrupt the presentation."
  • Christian Renaud,
    • "Today, I am giving a TechTalk in Second Life on 'Virtual Environments and their effect on the Network'. We'll be using a combination of technologies to communicate today: - Text Chat (for intro and outro) - Integrated Voice Chat (for post-show socializing) - Streaming Audio/Shoutcast (for main presentation) - Images in an image viewer (poor facsimile of presentation)
  • uvvy.com,
    • "About 30 people attended the talk in Second Life, and a few others attended on IRC via a gateway. The lecture audio was delivered via a SHOUTcast streaming audio server. Used with Winamp and the SHOUTcast Source DSP plugin for Winamp, the SHOUTcast system permits piping voice to an audio stream that can be set as media URL and listened to by all participants. The performance of the streaming audio server and the quality of the audio stream were quite good, though some microphone volume issues on Anders' side and the annoying lag of about one minute."
  • moodlemoot,
    • "BCcampus is pleased to provide this document to conference attendees so everyone has a sense of how simultaneous face-to-face and virtual presentations will work at the Moodle Moot. A use case description is provided along with an AV setup diagram and quantities of equipment needed."
  • HASTAC Projects, Humanities, Arts, Sciences, and Technology Advanced Callaboratory
    • "Welcome to the Projects page! Here you will find descriptions for a variety of HASTAC projects such as tools for multimedia archiving and social interaction, gaming environments for teaching, innovative educational programs in information science and information studies, virtual museums, and many other digital projects and collaborations."

Exploratorium

  • "Online since 1993, the Exploratorium was one of the first science museums to build a site on the World Wide Web."
    • "Our newest experiments with information technology have revolved around Webcasting and podcasting, in which we broadcast live video and/or audio directly from the museum floor (or from satellite feeds in the field) onto the Internet. Webcasts provide access to events, scientists, artists, educators, and other museum resources for audiences on the Web. Using video and audio with information and images lets a visitor choose among different methods of learning about a particular topic. Video and audio also provide the ability to hear or view interviews with scientists, "meet" interesting people, or tour unusual locations, from factories to rainforests."
