[Yasmin_announcements] RFP: Funding Opportunities from the National Science Foundation CreativeIT Program

Funding Opportunities from the National Science Foundation CreativeIT
Program

http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=501096&org=CISE&from=home
DUE DATE

Full Proposal Deadline Date: October 13, 2009
I. INTRODUCTION

Creativity, design, and research all contribute new knowledge and artifacts.
The CreativeIT program focuses on the commonality of these three processes
and solicits proposals that bring creative practice and creativity research
to play a role in transformative research in specific contexts of computer
science, cognitive science, information technology, education, engineering
design and science. The program considers design as a type of research in
which the definition of the problem may change in response to the
exploration and development of alternative solutions, leading to creative
solutions and innovation. The program's objective is to bring together
different disciplines associated with creative and scientific advances in a
way that is mutually beneficial. This program encourages new ways of
thinking about one discipline in terms of another, so that the
interdisciplinary nature of the project is a means to an end rather than an
end in itself.
II. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Information technology is playing an increasing role in extending the
capability of human creative thinking and problem solving, and conversely,
creative uses of information technology are leading to new areas of research
and innovation. Creativity is often the result of a design process in which
the exploration of possible designs changes our perspective on what the
design can or should achieve. A designer develops new artifacts in the
context of a perceived need or problem specification. In creative design,
the reflection on problem finding becomes as important as problem solving.
The combination of creativity and design thinking in information technology,
science, and engineering has the potential to define new areas and lead to
increased successful innovation. *Advances:* CreativeIT seeks proposals for
projects whose objectives are new models of creativity, new models for
research and education, or creativity enhancing tools developed in the
context of a specific discipline.

*Research Areas: *The following research areas elaborate on these potential
types of advances as guidelines for describing how the objectives of the
project contribute to CreativeIT.

1. *Understanding Creative Cognition and Computation. *Research in this
area develops or applies cognitive models that serve as inspiration for
computational models of creativity, support for human creativity, or
approaches for educating people to be more creative. This research is
typically done by adopting or adapting a model of cognition and evaluating
its creative performance in different contexts, or developing a new model of
creativity based on empirical or ethnographic studies. The emphasis in this
area is the development of new models of cognition and computation that
explain or simulate creativity and how these models open up new research
areas in computing and cognitive science.
2. *Creativity to Stimulate Breakthroughs in Science and Engineering. *This
area considers the role and performance of creative professionals in
developing new technologies, discovering new patterns in information, and in
finding new ways of seeing, knowing, and doing computing, science and
engineering. This area seeks to foster research that is conducted with
groups of people from different backgrounds in which the creative synergy is
focused on a specific context, problem, or perceived need. The result of
this research is a new product, new model, or new area of research. The
evaluation of the results of this kind of research does not follow directly
from existing metrics or performance criteria and therefore may need to
redefine relevant performance criteria.
3. *Educational Approaches that Encourage Creativity.* This area
considers a broad range of approaches to learning that encourages
creativity: multi-disciplinary teaching and learning, design studio
environments, skills development through making and doing, serious games,
and open-ended problem-based learning. This area includes the development
and evaluation of innovative computational environments for learning that
reward creativity leading to transformative changes in curriculum objectives
and structure.
4. *Supporting Creativity with Information Technology. *This area
develops new software and interaction design to support people in being more
creative and evaluates their performance through user studies either in
controlled environments with empirical studies or in the context of a
complex problem or situation with ethnographic studies. The emphasis in this
area is the development of new computing environments where the environment
itself may be a creative product, and the environment is intended to support
people in their creative activities.

[Yasmin_announcements] Google Opens Up Its EPUB Archive: Download 1 Million Books for Free

Google Opens Up Its EPUB Archive: Download 1 Million Books for Free Written

[image: google_books_logo_aug09.png]Google just
announced<http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/download-over-million-public-domain.html>
that
it will now allow users to download over 1 million public domain books in
the EPUB format. Google had already made this archive available to some of
its partners, including Sony
<http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/ebooks_sony_now_offers_1_million_free_books_from_g.php>and
Barnes and Noble, but until today users weren't able to download these free
EPUB texts from Google directly. Google will continue to make PDF versions
of these books available for download as well, but users with eReader's will
find the new EPUB files far more useful.

If you don't have an actual hardware eReader but still want to read these
EPUB versions, you can install Stanza <http://www.lexcycle.com/stanza> or a
similar desktop reader <http://www.jedisaber.com/ebooks/Readers.asp> to read
these books.

EPUB: The One eBook Standard to Rule them All

EPUB is a free, standardized format that almost every hardware eReader or
desktop software understands. Amazon's Kindle, however, cannot read EPUB
texts without using some intermediary software that converts these books
into a format the Kindle can understand. While there are a few competing
formats, EPUB has turned into the de facto standard for eBooks. Some
vendors, like Sony, wrap a digital rights management (DRM) solution around
these books, but others just publish completely open, non-DRMed versions of
their books. The EPUB files from Google Books will not be locked down by a
DRM solution.

It is important to note, however, that these EPUB files were run through an
optical character recognition (OCR) system and weren't edited afterwards.
While this software has greatly improved over the last few years, there are
still quite a few mistakes in most books. This post
<http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/download-over-million-public-domain.html>on
the Google Books blog explains the conversion process in more detail. The
PDF versions of these books don't suffer from this problem, as they are just
copies of the actual pages. This also means, however, that these PDF files
are far larger and that users can't, for example, adjust the size of the
books' fonts according to the size of their screens.

[Yasmin_discussions] Art and Atoms : Fusion and Fission

Dear Yasminers,

Today, in Le Monde (daily French newspaper) I read :

The medical imagerie (worldwide) threaten because of lack of
the nuclear material to do it. To be more precise, the
production capacities are decreasing due to repairs on the
few nuclear reactors in the world that produce this
material used among other things for cancer.

Interesting ....

For those of you who read French, here the article that
explains everything.

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] collective genius

This debate begins to enter the mainstream. Please see this in the Guardian.
Seems UK politicians and journalists, as well as government policy makers,
are picking up on new(ish) thinking about networked and rhizomic identity.

Conversation: [Yasmin_discussions] collective genius
Subject: Re: [Yasmin_discussions] collective genius

Back from a holiday in sizzling Dubai, I am sorry that I missed much of the
discussion on collective genius.

My token contribution if of use now is below.

Collective genius seems part of the tensions between individualism and
collectivism evident in the field of Art&Design; the searcher vs the
re-searcher; talented anarchic individual vs trans-disciplinary team etc.
This can mirror macro political stances too eg. re-search culture in a way
mirrors communistic values, whereas the search culture of the anarchic
individual artist can mirror a contrary position.

Gathering people together to create emergence of 'genius' is not as easy as
it might seem. The notion that a individual neural network is likely to be
lesser than a network of neural networks is problematic because the
assumption is that the 'connections' are seemless. They are not. As in any
circuit, connections give rise to noise, breaks, interference etc. In a
collection of people differences in discipline terminology, attitudes etc.
can reduce a trans-disciplinary team - a network of neural networks to
merely a crowd, whereas the seemless connections within a single creative
neural network are super efficent, and perhaps more likely to give rise to
'genius'.

This topic is touched upon in a paper led by Dave Everitt (ref below) which
highlights the need for careful composition of creative collective effort.

Subject: Re: [Yasmin_discussions] collective genius

roger,

couple of more things that somehow should matter within the realms of
collectivity and collaboration:

- collectivity does not necessarily have a physical boundary (not a
community, neighborhood, territory, etc.), does not necessarily have a
book (biblical, regulatory, constitutional, agreements of any sort in
written form, etc.), should be highly dynamic ans does not necessarily
form a clique, clan, brotherhood, fraternity, guild, society, union,
nation, civilization. this is why i love internet collectivity; the
first reason you are involved in a collective is very basic: you have
internet connection. the rest depends on your interests and your ability
to turn this into physical communication whenever possible and/or needed.

- a collective could be the "array of arrays" that are composed dynamic
definitions / coincidences / overlaps / concurrences / intersections /
convergences / etc. it is, in a way, a center of equal peripheries with
no center:) i did not know the great quote from the great marcel
duchamp, thanks for bringing it up: "... the artist is part of a larger
system in which his or her conscious intention forms a small part ..."
this is sort of what i mean by "center of equal peripheries with no center."

best,
murat

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] collective genius

Back from a holiday in sizzling Dubai, I am sorry that I missed much of the discussion on collective genius.

My token contribution if of use now is below.

Collective genius seems part of the tensions between individualism and collectivism evident in the field of Art&Design; the searcher vs the re-searcher; talented anarchic individual vs trans-disciplinary team etc. This can mirror macro political stances too eg. re-search culture in a way mirrors communistic values, whereas the search culture of the anarchic individual artist can mirror a contrary position.

Gathering people together to create emergence of 'genius' is not as easy as it might seem. The notion that a individual neural network is likely to be lesser than a network of neural networks is problematic because the assumption is that the 'connections' are seemless. They are not. As in any circuit, connections give rise to noise, breaks, interference etc. In a collection of people differences in discipline terminology, attitudes etc. can reduce a trans-disciplinary team - a network of neural networks to merely a crowd, whereas the seemless connections within a single creative neural network are super efficent, and perhaps more likely to give rise to 'genius'.

This topic is touched upon in a paper led by Dave Everitt (ref below) which highlights the need for careful composition of creative collective effort.

Subject: Re: [Yasmin_discussions] collective genius

roger,

couple of more things that somehow should matter within the realms of
collectivity and collaboration:

- collectivity does not necessarily have a physical boundary (not a
community, neighborhood, territory, etc.), does not necessarily have a
book (biblical, regulatory, constitutional, agreements of any sort in
written form, etc.), should be highly dynamic ans does not necessarily
form a clique, clan, brotherhood, fraternity, guild, society, union,
nation, civilization. this is why i love internet collectivity; the
first reason you are involved in a collective is very basic: you have
internet connection. the rest depends on your interests and your ability
to turn this into physical communication whenever possible and/or needed.

- a collective could be the "array of arrays" that are composed dynamic
definitions / coincidences / overlaps / concurrences / intersections /
convergences / etc. it is, in a way, a center of equal peripheries with
no center:) i did not know the great quote from the great marcel
duchamp, thanks for bringing it up: "... the artist is part of a larger
system in which his or her conscious intention forms a small part ..."
this is sort of what i mean by "center of equal peripheries with no center."

best,
murat

[Yasmin_announcements] Reminder: Barbara Nessim - CAS September Meeting

*REMINDER*

The BCS CAS SG is pleased to announce that our Autumn Programme
will launch with a presentation by the internationally-renowned
artist and illustrator Barbara Nessim. Barbara is visiting the UK
briefly and we are lucky to have this opportunity to hear her
speak and to see her work. This talk is free and members of the
public are welcome to attend.

Wednesday 2 September 2009
6:30 for 7:00pm
Birbeck College, Centre for Film and Visual Media
43 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PD

Barbara Nessim

"My introduction to the computer began when Peter Spackman, the
then Director of the Council of the Arts at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, invited me to present my work to the
students at The Visible Language Workshop, a new MIT graduate
program. In turn, the students would teach me how to use the
computer to create my work. I was both excited by the challenge
and skeptical as to how a computer could be used to create art.
This was 1980, before the Mac and the IBM PC. I already had 20
years experience as a fine artist and illustrator. This talk
takes us through the years before and after the introduction of
the computer, as an added artistic "super" tool. It covers the
early computers from 1981 to the present, as well as detailing
the many creative ways the art developed into hardcopy. I will
also discuss the ideas central to my fine art exhibitions as well
as reveal the anatomy and concept behind my published
illustrations."

Internationally-renowned artist, illustrator and educator Barbara
Nessim has been a visionary in the art world for decades.
Original in her creativity, she has an extensive resume of
accomplishments, and a portfolio of work that's been showcased in
prominent museums, galleries and private collections worldwide.
Educated at Pratt Institute in New York, Barbara was quickly
recognized for her distinctive style, and became one of the first
female freelance illustrators of her time. In 1980, she embraced
the use of the computer in her fine art and illustration, a topic
upon which she has frequently lectured. Barbara has also taught
at the School of Visual Arts, Pratt Institute and Parsons The New
School for Design, where she served as Chairperson of
Illustration. Today Barbara's focus is on several commissions for
buildings in New York City.

This message was posted by Center for Visual Music on a number of lists, originally the post was sent to CVM by Sandra Naumann.  This show has nothing at all to do with iota; that is just one of the lists it was posted to. Center for Visual Music is involved with this show and has contributed films, research, images, consultation, etc. to this exhibition, plus lectures/guest speakers in October.
 
Thanks for clarifying this to your list.

SEE THIS SOUND
EXHIBITION / WEB ARCHIVE / SYMPOSIUM

The project SEE THIS SOUND explores the past and present of the link between image and sound in art, media and perception. The starting point is the fact that our world of experience today is marked by an omnipresence of audiovisual products and structures, in which the cultural production of image and sound is closely intertwined artistically, and in terms of media technology and market strategy. SEE THIS SOUND reacts to this by presenting and discussing different realizations of contemporary art and art studies. The current fields of reference range here from pop culture to the theory of perception and media technology.

1.) SEE THIS SOUND: SYMPOSIUM
Sound-Image Relations in Art, Media and Perception
2-3 September 2009
Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research.

The goal of the international symposium is an interdisciplinary exchange among the theoretical and aesthetic thematic fields of the project. At the intersection of different academic disciplines the conference touches, among others, on art and music studies, media and art theory, media archeology, and the history of media technology. Artistic presentations are integrated in the course of the conference to stimulate the dialogue between art and science.

2.) SEE THIS SOUND: EXHIBITION
Promises in Sound and Vision
28 August 2009 – 10 January 2010

There are sounds and noises all over the museum, as artists today take an engagement with the sound of this world for granted. The former predominance of the visual has meanwhile been replaced by a multifaceted interplay of image and sound. See this Sound documents this development from the perspective of visual art and refers to the respective contemporary discussions and promises.
In eight sections the exhibition focuses on important milestones and historical-social points of reference, but without imposing a linear development. Starting from the filmic sound visualizations of the 1920s – so-called Eye Music – it traces the topos of traversing genre boundaries in the 1960s and questions psychedelic trance machines and multimedia sound environments about their social-political potential. The illusion of a "natural" interplay of image and sound, for instance in Hollywood movies, is countered by works that disclose the discrepancies of this purported synthesis, all the way to the loss of sound and the power of speech. In addition, there is a special focus on the local production conditions of sounds (industrial cities and industrial sounds), and on sound as a medium of institutional critique.
Collaboration with the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research has also enabled the scholarly treatment of specific media history issues presented within the framework of a web archive and in the exhibition.

Artistic and Scientific Lead: Stella Rollig und Dieter Daniels
Curator: Cosima Rainer
Assistant Curator: Manuela Ammer
Project Coordination: Veronika Floch
Scientific Collaboration: Sandra Naumann

3.) SEE THIS SOUND: WEB ARCHIVE
online from 28 August 2009

The interdisciplinary and trans-genre character of the project is especially conveyed within the framework of an online platform on the subject of sound-image relations (bilingual German-English) .
This interdisciplinary field of knowledge has previously only been explored from the perspective of separate disciplines. For this reason, the audiovisual handbook pursues the goal of establishing a trans-disciplinary knowledge base of image-sound relations with contributions from experts. Specialists from art history, musicology, film theory, media studies, theater studies, pop theory, cognition psychology and neurology contribute their respective perspectives to an "audiovisuology" as an area of intersection between these academic fields. Text contributions from research work in the Institute are conjoined here with essays from external authors.

On the basis of thematic focal points, a multitude of artist and theoretical standpoints are linked with one another and related to historical and scientific information. The entire spectrum of audiovisual arts and phenomena is presented with historical longitudinal sections and systematic cross-sections in 35 lexicon entries. Longer essays provide a more in-depth discussion of interdisciplinary themes. Examples of work are documented audiovisually and commented on and contextualized academically. Audiovisuality is thus at once the theme and the method of the online platform.
The lexicon entries and audiovisual work examples that are coordinated and linked with one another through key words and time sections thus result in an overall view opening up new conjunctions of meaning. This procedure also enables overlapping and interlinking the artistic and academic elements of the project and developing new directions in the multimedia communication and representation of science and art.
The academic texts from the online platform will also be published as a book.

(Un)Inhabitable?
Art of Extreme Environments

September 9 > October 11 2009
Wenesday – Sunday / 11 am-8 pm

OPENING SEPTEMBER 8th 2009 – 4pm – 8 pm

Maison Européenne de la Photographie.
5-7, Rue de Fourcy, 75004 Paris.
Metro: Saint Paul or Pont Marie

The 2009 edition of the @rt Outsiders Festival —celebrating
this year its tenth anniversary—focuses on extreme environments.

These are environments that were, until recently,
uninhabited by human beings and that contemporary science
and technology turn into "inhabitable" places (Antarctica,
underwater world, outer space, deserts); but also those that
are becoming "uninhabitable" due to the impacts of our way
of life (pollution, technological accidents, economical
pressures and global warming).

"(Un)Inhabitable? – Art of Extreme Environments" presents
works that explore the meaning of living in extreme
environments, in the imaginary realm as well as in the
physical one, in the political, social and environmental
fields as well as in the poetic ones.

(In)Habitable ?
L'art des environnements extrêmes

9 septembre > 11 octobre 2009
du mercredi au dimanche de 11 heures à 20 heures

VERNISSAGE LE 8 SEPTEMBRE 2009 – 16h00 – 20h00

Maison Européenne de la Photographie.
5-7, Rue de Fourcy, 75004 Paris.
Métro: Saint Paul ou Pont Marie

L'édition 2009 du Festival @rt Outsiders —qui célèbre cette
année son dixième anniversaire— a choisi de s'intéresser aux
environnements extrêmes.

Ces environnements sont ceux, jusqu'à présent "inhabités"
par les êtres humains, et que la technologie et la science
contemporaines nous rendent "habitables" (Antarctique,
environnement subaquatique, espace extra-terrestre,
déserts), mais aussi ceux qui deviennent "inhabitables" par
nos actions et modes de vie (pollution, accidents
technologiques, impératifs économiques et réchauffement
climatique).

"(In)Habitable ? L'art des environnements extrêmes",
présente un ensemble d'œuvres qui explorent dans
l'imaginaire comme dans la réalité, dans le champ du
politique, du social, de l'écologie et dans celui du
poétique ce que signifie "habiter l'extrême" mais aussi
comment "l'extrême", aujourd'hui, nous habite.
