About
We went to the design museum in Munich and changed upon this OLED display where walking in front of it would cause it to light up. This is the back of the circuit board, and the security guard was really nervous when I got really close to the display to take this photograph.

Design Dialogues Fall 2010: Computation After New Media
Guest Curator: Garnet Hertz
This lecture series explores key concepts in computational media to empower individuals to imagine, collaborate, provoke, and prototype through computing.
As a result of its widespread adoption, digital media has transitioned from "new media" to a ubiquitous part of contemporary life. This shift from novelty to familiarity has considerable ramifications for academic institutions working in the fields of media arts and digital culture. Exploring the formal potentials of information and networked technologies is no longer of significant interest: information technologies need to be understood as an embedded part of culture and history. Digital cultural practices must also work to extend their parent disciplines, including the studio arts, media history and theory, design, computer science and engineering.
Each speaker in the "Computation After New Media" series will focus on one word— a single term they feel is a core part of their work within the framework of computation. These lectures will be aimed at exploring the underlying structures of computationalism, providing an important leverage into the philosophy, languages, and principles of digital media.
SCHEDULE:
- October 1: Sharon Daniel, UCSC
- October 8: Eddo Stern, UCLA
- October 22: Paul Dourish, UCI
- October 29: George Legrady, Experimental Visualization Lab, UCSB
- November 19: Casey Reas, UCLA, author, Form + Code in Design, Art, and Architecture
- December 3: Celia Pearce, Georgia Tech, author Communities of Play: Emergent Cultures in Multiplayer Games and Virtual Worlds
Design Dialogues brings provocateurs from the worlds of design, art, academia, and technology into the MDP Studio. Each term, a guest curator is invited to build a series around a theme of their choosing.
Meetings: 12-2 pm. Talks: 3-6 pm in the Wind Tunnel Gallery. Open only to Media Design students, alumni, and faculty.
October 1: Sharon Daniel
Sharon Daniel is Professor of Film and Digital Media at the University of California, Santa Cruz where she teaches classes in digital media theory and practice. Her research involves collaborations with local and on-line communities, which exploit information and communications technologies as new sites for "public art." Daniel’s role as an artist is that of “context provider”—assisting communities, collecting their stories, soliciting their opinions on politics and social justice, and building the online archives and interfaces that make this data available across social, cultural and economic boundaries. Her goal is to avoid representation—not to attempt to speak for others but to allow them to speak for themselves.
Daniel’s work has been exhibited internationally at museums, festivals including the Corcoran Biennial, the University of Paris, the Dutch Electronic Arts Festival, Ars Electronica and the Lincoln Center Festival as well as on the Internet. Her essays have been published in books and professional journals such as Leonardo and the Sarai Reader. Daniel has recently presented “Improbablevoices.net” at the Fundacion Telefonica in Buenos Aires and at the conference “contested commons” in New Delhi, India. Her current research is supported by grants from the Daniel Langlois Foundation, the UCIRA, UCSC Arts Research Institute, and the Creative Work Fund.
October 8: Eddo Stern
Eddo Stern works on the disputed borderlands between fantasy and reality, exploring the uneasy and otherwise unconscious connections between physical existence and electronic simulation. His work explores new modes of narrative and documentary, experimental computer game design, fantasies of technology and history, and cross-cultural representation in computer games, film, and online media. He works in various media including computer software, hardware and game design, kinetic sculpture, performance, and film and video production. His short machinima films include "Sheik Attack", "Vietnam Romance", "Landlord Vigilante" and "Deathstar". He is the founder of the now retired cooperative C-level where he co-produced the physical computer gaming projects "Waco Resurrection", "Tekken Torture Tournament", "Cockfight Arena", and the internet meme conference "C-level Memefest" He is currently developing the new sensory deprivation game "Darkgame". Stern's work can be seen online at www.eddostern.com/
October 22: Paul Dourish
Paul Dourish is a Professor of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at UC Irvine, with courtesy appointments in Computer Science and Anthropology. He teaches in the Informatics program and in the interdisciplinary graduate program in Arts Computation and Engineering. His primary research interests lie at the intersection of computer science and social science; he draws liberally on material from computer science, science and technology studies, cultural studies, humanities, and social sciences in order to understand information technology as a site of social and cultural production. In 2008, he was elected to the CHI Academy in recognition of his contributions to Human-Computer Interaction.
Dourish is the author of "Where the Action Is: The Foundations of Embodied Interaction" (MIT Press, 2001), which explores how phenomenological accounts of action can provide an alternative to traditional cognitive analysis for understanding the embodied experience of interactive and computational systems. Before coming to UCI, he was a Senior Member of Research Staff in the Computer Science Laboratory of Xerox PARC; he has also held research positions at Apple Computer and at Rank Xerox EuroPARC. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from University College, London, and a B.Sc. (Hons) in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science from the University of Edinburgh.
November 19: Casey Reas
Casey Reas lives and works in Los Angeles. His software, prints, and installations have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions at museums and galleries in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Casey's ongoing Process series explores the relationship between naturally evolved systems and those that are synthetic. The imagery evokes transformation, and visualizes systems in motion and at rest. Equally embracing the qualitative human perception and the quantitative rules that define digital culture, organic form emerges from precise mechanical structures.
Casey is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. He holds a masters degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Media Arts and Sciences as well as a bachelors degree from the School of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning at the University of Cincinnati. With Ben Fry, Reas initiated Processing in 2001. Processing is an open source programming language and environment for creating images, animation, and interaction.
Reas and Fry published Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists, a comprehensive introduction to programming within the context of visual media (MIT Press, 2007). In 2010, they publishing Getting Started with Processing, a casual introduction to programming (O'Reilly, 2010). With Chandler McWilliams and Lust, Casey has just published Form+Code in Design, Art, and Architecture (PAPress, 2010), a non-technical introduction to the history, theory, and practice of software in the arts.
Casey is the recipient of a 2008 Tribeca Film Institute Media Arts Fellowship (supported by the Rockefeller Foundation), a 2005 Golden Nica award from the Prix Ars Electronica, and he was included in the 2008 ArtReview Power 100. His images have been featured in various publications including The New York Times, The International Herald Tribune, Print, Eye, Technology Review, and Wired.

Spectral Clustering of Urban Networks
Based on the map of Venice this is the plot of the network spectrum in three dimensions divided into six clusters.
Spectral clustering is particularly useful for analyzing data where where topological links outweigh convex boundaries, that is, when connections a more significant than simple proximity. This makes it an interesting method for the analysis of urban networks where cul-de-sacs, dead ends, physical barriers, or topographic distance can separate two points that are otherwise quite proximate.
Cluster centrality is shown on this plot by distance from the center point of each cluster the distribution of cluster centrality in the plot at left (with box plot around quartiles). Network links are not represented in this plot but comparing to the map view, one can quite easily intuit the relationship of nodes to their spatial location.
The final network comprises over 11,300 nodes and 12,500 edges.
We will be conducting a workshop at the Singapore pavilion of the Venice Biennale engaging this topic and will hopefully find modifications to this network and to the methods.
Computational neuroscientist Frances Chance is revealing insights into how dragonflies intercept their prey in flight, which might be useful for missile defense. The Sandia research is examining whether dragonfly-inspired computing could improve missile defense systems, which have the similar task of intercepting an object in flight, by making on-board computers smaller without sacrificing speed or accuracy. Dragonflies catch 95% of their prey, crowning them one of the top predators in the world.
In recent computer simulations, faux dragonflies in a simplified virtual environment successfully caught their prey using computer algorithms designed to mimic the way a dragonfly processes visual information while hunting. The positive test results show the programming is fundamentally a sound model.

The Bulbous Bow of the Carnival Splendor.
When I was a kid I always thought (and all my plastic models reinforced the idea) that the bow of ship should be sharp so it can cut through the water with the least resistance. Kind of like a knife, eh?
It turns out that a much bigger drag on a ship is determined by how the water flows around the hull. Shaping the underwater bow of the ship like a bulb can reduce the drag by changing the bow waves, and thus increasing the efficiency, speed, range, and stability of the vessel. A 12% to 15% increase in fuel efficiency makes this bulb even more beautiful.
Don't you think this looks like a heart? almost? It's my late Valentine to the Flickr community. :)
Derek Gaston (pictured) is the head of Idaho National Laboratory's Computational Frameworks Group in the Fuels Modeling and Simulation Department. He has developed a computer software code called the Multiphysics Object Orientated Simulation Environment (MOOSE).
MOOSE is a tool for working on many pieces of the nuclear reactor fuel lifecycle, looking at fuel fabrication and fuel performance to try to extend the life of current light water reactors while looking toward the future by simulating new reactor designs that can give cleaner, more sustainable energy. The copyrighted MOOSE is also being used in many non-nuclear settings such as environment cleanup and remediation for chemical spills, carbon sequestration and even oil shale recovery processes.

Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are studying the lung to determine where inhaled particles deposit in both health and disease. The mammalian respiratory system serves as a functional interface for gas exchange and environmental sensing. The lung is susceptible to various diseases that can disrupt its overall structure and function. Environmental exposures to airborne contaminants can increase asthma and incidences of pulmonary disease. Scientists construct computational models to simulate particle deposition in the lung.

Sitting in the doctor’s office, Catherine Rosenberg, of Little Egg Harbor Township, noticed something on a medical report that most patients wouldn’t—the mathematical formula used to calculate the volume of fluid in her swollen leg.
Rosenberg, who was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma at 8 years old, conquered cancer, but the radiation treatments led to her developing lymphedema, a condition that causes severe swelling in the limbs.
Immediately after seeing the formula, her knowledge of numerical analysis told her that there are much more accurate ways to calculate the volume of fluid buildup. Two Stockton degrees, an undergraduate degree in Mathematics and a master’s in Computational Science, and a dedication to advance the field of medicine led her to develop a patent-pending method of measuring fluid in lymphedema patients with help from a number of professors at Stockton and her doctor, Eric Chang.
