SAGE (Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment)
I.    Introduction
Several unique events gave me the preconditions for exploring this paper. On the first day of class in EV Grad Seminar, we were given a tour of the cavern by Laura Wolf. For me the 55-panel LambdaVision display stood out. I asked whether these devices were available to us and [...]

Complicit Warnings
AD 508
Benjamin Thorp
Complicit Warnings involves computer vision and also is grappling with issues of surveillance, complicity (of those being surveilled) and the potential for liberatory action. The work engages how people experience spatial forms when they are filled in with dynamic and rich multimedia information and how we’ve adapted and reacted to the knowledge [...]

EV Seminar Fall 08 Project proposal
Short Description:
The proposed project would treat a viewer in much the same way as most people are treated, as a data source.  In essence the project would  “data-ify” the viewer.  This would be done by realtime processing of video of the viewer and overlaying a data trail on the user.  [...]

Write a 1 page project proposal, including short description, diagram(s), equipment/space/lighting requirements (based on what you/we have).
Short description. I am proposing a collection of landscapes. The presentation of the landscapes will be video slit scans and stretched from a 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:3 aspect ratio and propose new ways of looking at landscapes both [...]

Community Game

Background: I’ve been working on a series of play concepts that work against the ideologies apparent in commercial game designs. This series of play scenarios will endeavor to teach a different set of values than what most games teach. This public space, electronic toy will seek to present community and giving as its primary [...]

Description
I propose a mobile controlled virtual space, which is located geographically (in real space) far from the mobile user.
The virtual space that I will start out with would just be an object that can be manipulated by the mobile phone. Since, the GPhone has at least a 3-DOF (degrees of freedom), accelerometer built-in, I would [...]

Ghosts Behind
Julio Obelleiro
EV Seminar Fall 08 Project proposal
—
Concept and sketches
The proposed project is an evolution of the installation that was displayed in the Matadero (old Madrid’s slaughterhouse), called Matadero Phantoms.  The idea of the project would be to allow the viewer to unveil what is “behind” the walls of a building with the light of [...]
