In this exercise I'm showing how to add the number 123456789 to itself on the giant Soda Hall abacus. I add in left-to-right order, first adding 1 in the leftmost column, then 2 in the next column to the right, etc. For this particular computation, this order is slightly easier. This first step shows 123456789 entered on the abacus.
meta_creation lab: inter-actors, attractors and the aesthetics of complexity

A collaborative workshop interfacing movement art practices, digital creativity, portable computation and networked systems.
This workshop is a collaborative lab to creatively explore the contemporary approaches, practices and aesthetics of self organization and of complex systems within the dynamic couplings of mind, body and information/data flows.
This workshop is an open space for experimentation and inquiry within a well defined theoretical/aesthetic frame and open space format: the participants self-organize in different node projects (collaborative and flexible groups) in order to investigate and deploy bottom-up architectures as compositional prototyping strategies and processes. It explores interactivity plus generativity.
An embodied/distributed cognition approach is used to generate physical activities and games, guided discussions/conversations about relevant artists works and concepts exploring the aesthetic of complex systems and emergence.
Open source technologies and methodologies will be explored in combination with composition in real-time.
Inter and trans-disciplinary explorations are encouraged and diversity is the main asset.
Several nodes of research projects are suggested:
Sampling, recombinations and mashups
New Internet technologies (web 2.0) and collaborative creation
Post-pc technologies apps, tablets and mobile technologies
Life logging and creative process
Media Capturing and Real time processing
Bottom-up architectures of generative systems
Hybrid realities and alternative sites
Portable cameras and video production
Online video and video straming
Cloud/social computing
Locative media/Mobile
Performance, rule systems and algorithms.
Computer aided choreography
Portable hardware as interfaces/interactive media control
Social media for distributed creativity and knowledge production
Networked documentaries/storytelling.

In this exercise I'm showing how to compute 246913578 minus 123456789 = 123456789 on the giant Soda Hall abacus. I subtract in left-to-right order, first subtracting 1 in the leftmost column, then 2 in the next column to the right, etc.
In this series, I am not present - this makes it less obvious what was changed, but does not occlude the abacus.

ASCENSION: An Interactive Installation
----------------
The Project
Willpower (William Ismael) + Carrie Mae Rose collaborate in the duo FLUID THUNDER for the interactive projection mapping of the tetrahedron winged computational fashion installation at Eyebeam (Art + Technology Center in New York City).
----------------
The Process
Carrie Mae creates hand-built wing structures out of wire tetrahedrons and fabric. Willpower codes 2 animations in Processing, which is an open-source programming language, development environment, and online community. He uses Leap Motion, which is a sensory technology, detecting human hands and fingers. He uses a Processing Library by onformative (a studio for generative design based in Berlin) called LeapMotionForProcessing to use Processing seemlessly with Leap Motion. Willpower attaches his interactive human generated animations to the Leap Motion sensor. They follow a person's hand movements in real-time and on key with accurate precision. The public interacts with the installation by activating the wings through their physical movements.
----------------
The Story
The animation displays beams of light representing solar neutrinos and the love we have access to at all times. Wings symbolize aspiration and ascension. The light is symbolic of angelic light coming from realms above, shining down to inspire and remind us that we are pure love in our hearts. The bubble eruptions represent both the thunderous fire energy residing inside our human forms and the Big Bang Theory that we are all becoming lighter and lighter each moment in time throughout our expansion into infinite space.
----------------
The Experience
Human beings generate the art on the angel wings by moving their hands. They become part of the art. They create the art. An ongoing 3D generative animation is mapped behind the wings. An interactive animation generated by people is mapped onto the wings. Without human movements, no animation is created on the tetrahedron angel wings. We include you to be part of the art because it is about us. It is about the interaction between the artists and the visitors. We communicate and transcend messages which are experienced beyond just looking at a piece by making you a co-creator of the piece. It is about us coming together and interacting in the space with 'others' we may have not engaged in a conversations with otherwise. It becomes an unique shared experience.

This is UGA's only significant building of the 1990s - the Chemistry Annex or Computational Chemistry building, by Lord, Aeck & Sargent (with Joe Greco as project lead). I've always been fond of it. It's a Miesian box, encased in a structural cage and hoisted not only above ground but away from it; the primary entry is by a short but still exciting catwalk. The show-offy structure of the entrance canopy, and the old-school sans-serif font, combine with the dark mullions and reflective glass to make the building seem considerably older than it is; I wouldn't be surprised if it's on somebody's itinerary of mid-century gems in Georgia.

Deborah Lawler-Dormer Artistic experimental testing using computational modeling of the human brain.
How are integrated cognitive responses triggered in multisensate environments?
As a new media curator, I work with artistic practices that engage particular perceptual dynamics to create unique environments. Given the increase in mutlisensate environments, and the resultant complex demands made of audiences, the need to better understand these practices is required by artists, their viewers, critics and gallery professionals. I have consequently embarked on a creative practice PhD at both University of Auckland and University of New South Wales examining cognitive perceptual integration in multisensate environments.
In the Laboratory for Animate Technologies at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, Dr Mark Sagar and his team are building a computational model of the brain and face. Working with research teams at the Centre for Brain Research, these computational models contain current neuroscientific understandings. Dr Mark Sagar is a double academy award winner for his animation in Avatar and King Kong. Sagar states: “We are building a collaborative modular model of the face and brain, a brain and face Lego with swappable and re-shapable parts. Both scientists and artists who want an interactive context to test and visualise their work can design, combine, integrate, inspect, react, be reacted to, and redesign.” This collaborative research initiative involves staff and students from computer science, architecture, neuroscience, engineering and the arts.
This paper looks at this computational brain model and the transdisciplinary collaborative processes that have helped develop it. How is this model useful to transdisciplinary practitioners who want to understand the neural responses to specific types of sensory input? My own personal PhD research will be briefly described and the methodology for testing. In addition, the paper will begin to look at the problematic of using a computational virtual model for artistic testing.

Results from this research will advance the current state-of-the-art in first-principles and multiscale simulations, and allow researchers to reveal essential details of these interfaces that are difficult to resolve experimentally. The theoretical understanding developed in this project will catalyze the emergence of new design paradigms for next-generation solar cell technologies.
