Re: 11.25: Final Project Presentations

In 2020, Peter Weibel, director of the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, delivered an insightful speech in the context of the Biomedia exhibition that brings us to the theory of holon and holarchy. Holon means an independent unit as well as a part of a larger whole (such as molecules, cells, o...

Re: wk8 11.11/11.13: Artificial Neural Networks | CNN | Style Transfer, Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence today is often discussed through its impressive outputs, but I am more interested in the processes behind those results. This includes how datasets are collected, categorized, and structured, and what kinds of human decisions shape the training environment of a model. The “in...

Re: wk7 11.04/11.06: Digital Object | Digital Fabrication, Robotics | Automation

One of my main interests is how designers take inspiration from nature to create “organic” forms. In design, organic usually means shapes or structures that feel natural (fluid, irregular, asymmetrical, or evolving) rather than geometric or mechanical. This idea has always been a challenge for artis...

Re: wk6 10.28/10.30: Emergence, Self-Organization, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality | Methodology Guidelines

The concept of self-organization fascinates me deeply; it can be one of the most profound inspirations for art and design. The world itself is a vast system, and every creature within it is a smaller world as well. As human beings, we tend to control and intervene in our technological systems, while...

Re: wk5 10.21/10.23 Systems Art, Generative Art, Algorithmic Art, Bio Art, Biometrics, Bio Data

Human agency versus mechanical performance has long been a continuous discussion in both art and science, and it remains a source of inspiration for many media art practices. I am particularly drawn to the question of how natural life forms (patterns, unpredictability, and emotional depth) can be tr...

Re: wk4 10.14/10.16: Data, Information Arts, Information, Noise

From the I Ching diagrams that inspired Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s binary system in 1701, to the public installation eCLOUD (2010) by Aaron Koblin, Nik Hafermaas, and Dan Goods, and the audiovisual installation data.tron (2011) by Ryoji Ikeda, I see an evolution in how we understand and aestheticiz...

Re: wk4.1 Data Presentations

Difference between Data mining & Knowledge Discovery (KDD) 1. Definitions Knowledge is more than just raw data or numbers. It means useful patterns, relationships, or insights that help us understand a situation or make better decisions. Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is the entire process ...

Re: wk3 10.07/10.09: Digital Image, Time, Space, Interactivity, Narrative

I’m very interested in full-body immersive experience with affective computing. In the 5th episode of Black Mirror Season 7, there is a technology called Eulogy that uses brainwave control and AI generation to turn old photos into 3D spaces that people can actually walk into, so they can relive thei...

Re: wk2 09.30/10.02: Early References

The article I chose is Visual Intelligence: The First Decade of Computer Art (1965–1975) by Frank Dietrich. It traces the development of computer art from its scientific beginnings in 1965 to its artistic expansion in the following decade. The first computer art exhibitions, which were organized by ...
