V1.1 In comparison of V1.0 that the installation only have one camera and one HD screen, I'd like to setup three cameras and three HD screens to present the idea of redefining the space with the consideration of human as a essential element. Each camera will track one particular part of visits in th...

Here is the PDF of the proposal v1.0

Version 1.0 Site Specific Art Proposal: Courtyard of Kohn Hall, UC Santa Barbara MAT 254: Arts & Engineering/Science Research Rodger (Jieliang) Luo Introduction This site specific art project seeks to implement a temporary art installation on campus which explores new meanings of 3D space by creatin...

Thoughts about data visualization I’m particularly interested about how Ursula Damm visualized data based on video tracking system, because coincidently that my final proposal of this course is also about to visualize some information gathered by some cameras in a specific site. The intriguing part ...

Version 0.1.1 Feedback after the first presentation: (1) Could it be more site specific? The current proposal seems that it can work at any locations. Since it's a site specific project, how to make it more particular of the site? (2) How to get feedback from audience? We are talking about the eye c...

Version 0.1 To start the project, I ask a whole bunch of questions to see where it ends up. Q1: What’s happening in the space? For most of the time, it's a quite and empty space. A PTFZ (Pan, Tilt, Focus, Zoom) Camera is a good way to record the space. However, it would be too boring of only showing...

It’s very interesting for me personally that Prof. Francesco’s Lab talks a lot about data visualization. More interestingly, his lab takes data visualization one step further comparing with some other scientific labs that many of the data viz projects in the lab were only about pie chart or column c...

I totally agreed with Kurt that The Vision and Image Understanding Lab has the most artistic sense among all the lab we’ve visited. Actually, they are doing some artworks. The female graduate student who introduced us the eye tracking system used Unity to develop some 3D scenes, which were implement...

Physics Lab or Contemporary Museum It will not be weird if I enter a contemporary museum, and see an atom generating machine and a two dimensional array of laser robots. On Weld Lab’s website, if all the texts are erased, it’s like a portfolio of an artist. We can see the images of Nanostructured C...

Can everything be computational? The Book of Change, an ancient Chinese philosophy book, believes that the universe began as a whole, then divided into two, then three, then everything. Hence, the fundamental part of Chinese culture believes that the universe evolves following a pattern, and so as ...
