Mark Goulthorpe est architecte, lors d’un concours pour une installation interactive il a été amené à concevoir ce projet “Hyposurface”. Accompagné d’un mathématicien, un spécialiste en géométrie il le développe en réel et c’est impressionnant !
Comme il l’explique lors d’une conférence au pavillon de l’arsenal le 21 avril 2001, 3 thèmes ont orienter sa démarche :
technique : agrandir le champ de l’architecture via l’ordinateur comme outil de communication
social : rechercher des “équivalences formels des changements social porté par les technologies électronique”
personnel : après la prise de champignons hallucinatoire a New York, Mark Goulthorpe a vue toutes les façades des buildings ce déplacer
A l’occasion d’une remise de prix au SYGGRAPH à Los Angeles en aout 2004, Bruce Sterling (un des plus grands auteurs de science fictions contemporaines) c’est exprimé sur l’évolution du rapport homme(s)-objet(s) dans notre société. Au cours de cette conférence il a développé un nouveau concept répondant au nom de “spime”. Selon Bruce le “spime” est l’évolution d’une catégorie d’objet semblable à nos PDA. Un “spime” est un accessoire croisé avec un ordinateur. Un “spime” peu ce repérer dans l’espace (comme un téléphone muni d’un gps) , mais c’est aussi un objet qui a une mémoire, un temps propre. Ce qui devient vraiment intéressant c’est quand le “spime” est pourvus de capacité sensorielle (capteurs de différents types). Ainsi il peut “tager” (mettre une balise) sur en référent à un lieu et un temps précis. Connecté a Internet l’information capté est mis à jour en temps réel, par cette objet communiquant.
En réalité le spime tel qu’il est conçu par Bruce est une extension de l’internet aux domaines des objets. Un peu comme si la carte ce rapprocher du territoire…
Cette notion est a l’origine d’un projet développé par Roberto Ostinelli, Leandro Agrò, David Orban (right) à Turin nommé open spime .
Le projet Open spime, consiste à développer une plateforme d’identification des objets communicants. Il propose de développer des APIs et des protocoles, a priori ouverts. Rien n’est encore téléchargeable sur leur site, mais les versions alpha sont en cours….
En 2006, des chercheurs (Jia Sheng, Ravin Blakrishnan and Karan Singh) du “département of computer science” de l’université de Toronto , on adapté les technologies de motion tracking afin de créer une interface physique de modelage 3D. An Interface for Virtual 3D Sculpting via Physical Proxy.
L’interface est prometteuse, mais il serait bien de la simplifier, car la grammaire de l’interactivité reste encore compliqué. En savoir plus :
The Burble is a massive structure reaching up towards the sky, composed of approximately 1000 extra-large helium balloons each of which contains microcontrollers and LEDs that create spectacular patterns of light across the surface of the structure. The public, both audience and performer, come together to control this immense rippling, glowing, bustling ‘Burble’ that sways in the evening sky, in response to movements of the long articulated interactive handle bar at the base of the structure. The ephemeral experience exists at such a large scale that it is able to compete visually in an urban context with the buildings that surround it.
creating Movement is a computer program for analysing film sequences and has been developed within a diploma thesis. With the help of various filters and settings Recreating Movement makes it possible to extract single frames of any given film sequence and arranges them behind each other in a three-dimensional space. This creates a tube-like set of frames that “freezes” a particular time span in a film. By using the keyboard the viewer can browse through the sequence of frames, chose any kind of view of the sequence of frames and influence the displayed frames directly via a displayable menu bar.
This project is a diploma thesis presented in July 2005 by Martin Hilpoltsteiner at the University of Applied Sciences Wuerzburg, Germany, Communication Arts .
Examiners: Prof. Erich Schoels, Prof. Kerstin Stutterheim.

ARS Electronica | Prix12 hours ago The aim of this art & technology grant bestowed annually by voestalpine and Ars Electronica is to honor new and extraordinarily promising ideas and to support the process of developing them further. Artistic and social innovations are what we’re looking for; technological and scientific approaches too! Whatever it is, the accent should definitely be on striving to conceptualize something in a totally fresh way, advancing it to the next level and significantly enhancing it thereby. Taking the next big step forward.
UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis2010/09/02 The Google Map Image Cutter is an application designed to take any image or digital photo and cut it into tiles which are displayed on a Google Map. Using this tool, large images can be published on the web in a format that allows the user to pan and zoom using the standard Google Maps interface. Although publishing large digital photos is the most obvious application, this technique can also be used for annotated maps of an area that are not to scale e.g. directions for how to get to the office
Design research - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia2010/09/02 Design research investigates the process of designing in all its many fields. It is thus related to Design methods in general or for particular disciplines. A primary interpretation of design research is that it is concerned with undertaking research into the design process. Secondary interpretations would refer to undertaking research within the process of design. The overall intention is to better understand and to improve the design process.
Rolling shutter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia2010/09/01 Rolling shutter is a method of image acquisition in which each frame is recorded not from a snapshot of a single point in time, but rather by scanning across the frame either vertically or horizontally. In other words, not all parts of the image are recorded at exactly the same time, even though the whole frame is displayed at the same time during playback. This produces predictable distortions of fast moving objects or when the sensor captures rapid flashes of light.
Graffiti Markup Language2010/09/01 Graffiti Markup Language (.gml) is a universal, XML based, open file format designed to store graffiti motion data (x and y coordinates and time). The format is designed to maximize readability and ease of implementation, even for hobbyist programmers, artists and graffiti writers. Popular applications currently implementing GML include Graffiti Analysis and EyeWriter. Beyond storing data, a main goal of GML is to spark interest surrounding the importance (and fun) of open data and introduce open source collaborations to new communities. GML is intended to be a simple bridge between ink and code, promoting collaborations between graffiti writers and hackers. GML is today’s new digital standard for tomorrow’s vandals.
The Creators Project | Technology and the Brightest Young Minds in Music, Art, Film, and Design2010/09/01 The Creators Project is a new network dedicated to the celebration of creativity and culture across media, and around the world. At a time in the history of the arts where digital technologies have revolutionized distribution, democratized access, and completely re-imagined the scope and scale with which an artist can create a vision and reach an audience, The Creators Project is a completely new kind of arts and culture channel for a completely new kind of world.
