Trabalho de conclusão do curso de Pós Graduação em Desenvolvimento de Jogos Digitais (PUCRS). Foi desenvolvido em grupo (Henry Braun e André Trombetta na programação e eu, Silvair Frazão e Marcelo Alencar no design) um jogo para o filme As Aventuras do Avião Vermelho.
Since 2004, Linz Art University has offered an “Interface Cultures” master’s degree program in which students learn scientific and, above all, artistic ways of working with all possible—and impossible—forms of communication with machines and devices. From the very outset, this program founded by Christa Sommerer (AT) and Laurent Mignonneau (FR) has offered students the opportunity to showcase their work in conjunction with Ars Electronica and thereby to reach very large audiences.

HUMAN BEINGS NEED TO CONNECT. Though all kinds of relationships—with family, friends, neighbors and colleagues—we partially meet our hardwired need for social contact. The need most commonly reveals itself in the search for love relationships. People in love relationships need to expend a lot of energy to maintain those relationships. Many people not currently in love relationships invest similar amounts of energy to find one. The need can be that strong, no matter how many friends or family members one has, the need for the deepest intimacy a person can experience is: romantic love.
Some people consider finding a life partner in a sophisticated technological society harder than finding one in a primitive village, where at least everyone knew everyone else and one would pick a spouse from the relatively few people available. That didn’t yield necessarily happy results, of course, but the intimacy of that kind of community provided support for those whose pick was less than ideal.
Now the horizons are much less limited, but the trade off could be a loss of community and a fraying of the web of social supports that binds groups of people.
I’m of the old school: I enjoy face-to-face relationships with living and breathing human beings, terribly old-fashioned that I am. I’ll take reality over cyber unreality anytime. Nevertheless, I became curious and eventually joined the cyber world of the 21th century, but not to find romance. Once immersed in the cyber world, I found many chat groups and forums that complain about the isolation of modern life!
Marshall McLuhan first wrote about the “global village” in the 1960s. Since then the world has become even smaller and more interconnected, with the internet and globalization bringing the earth’s people closer together. McLuhan was talking only about physical space, not cyber space. With so many human interactions now mediated by some kind technological interface, be it a phone or a computer, contact between people loses the intimacy necessary to form individual relationships and in turn communities. In our accelerated technological society, we become too caught up worrying about being a tec nerd to enjoy a “spiritual connection” to our world or to other people. How many totally vacuous “relationships” are there on either MySpace or Facebook, I don’t care to speculate.
But I would nevertheless be the first to state that technology has unarguably improved human lives a great deal, perhaps by fluke. One benefit is the expansion of our circle of potential relationships—especially a love relationship. Personally, I had found just such a relationship. I wasn't seeking it--it "just happened." (It turned out to be disastrous but for reasons quite remote from it being an Internet spawned romance).
There are thinkers and philosophers who have wrote and spoke of the “alienation of modern man” with the advances of technology, and I always found certain plausibility to their claims, but I eventually concluded that alienation is an inner phenomenon-- not external. Spirituality—in the secular meaning—is essentially an internal matter, an affair of the heart. It has to do with a mode of consciousness, a certain way of perceiving oneself, others, and the world. There is nothing religious or mystical about this.
People are connecting all over the world with a personal home computer and a click of the mouse. This “spiritually” is being transmitted and communicated and felt at long distances via the miracle of technology. At some point, however, they’ll have to leave their desks to enjoy and maintain that which can never be replaced: live contact with another human being. The internet can bring people together—but it can’t keep them together.
Can people connect and fall in love before actually meeting? The answer is a resounding YES. Can you maintain a real and fully satisfying relationship without actual interaction with other human beings---a resounding NO. That’s why we sometimes leave our keyboards until it is time to chat with cyber friends.

USb demo interface board using pic18f4550 Microcontroller
PIC18F4550 allows me to control 8 led’s through my laptop USB port, a small application made on C# can control the glowing of the led’s on board on Mouse clicks. With this project you can Create your own USB control from your laptop computer. An application written in C# on you computer will control few LED's on a Circuit board, the circuit board will connect to your computer via a USB port.

Interface Cultures - Interface Cuisine Exhibition
Inspired by the connections between art and cooking, this year’s show presented by the Linz Art University’s Interface Cultures program is entitled “Interface Cuisine.” Both cooks and creative artists take selected ingredients and combine them into creations that are familiar and exotic at the same time. The various cultures represented in this program of study are the ingredients that these undergrads have taken as their mold. In fact, the students themselves also come from different countries and cultures. The process of exchange with others results in a dynamic cultural mashup. The upshot is blending and intermingling of cultures, the outgrowths of which are unexpected connections, creative mutations and innovative interface solutions.
