Google Rhapsody
Billy Sims / USA
Independent artist
www.billysims.net
In Google Rhapsody, a single, happenstantial image of Chicago architecture serves as the onset for a potentially continuous chain of phantasmagoric imagery. The single image queues a search, providing Google with content which can then be evaluated for relevant subject and pattern to anticipate a user's needs. After including 30 images from each search, the 30th image is then fed back into the search queue, allowing the process to continue indefinitely. Using these returned results, the search extends to over 50,000 images from throughout the globe. As Google is a web crawling technology, its indexing methods can be applied to anything linked on the web. This allows for a diversity exceeding any given method of image production. In reconciling these different fields, the search engine must swim across disciplines of visualization, evincing a semiotic coherence that is as indistinguishable as possible from that of the user.

Interactive Instantiation of Artworks
Raivo Kelomees / USA
Estonian Academy of Arts
Design Cases
www.artun.ee
This paper provides two examples of interactive emulations of analogue artworks by Estonian artist Raul Meel. These meta-artworks allow to preserve, to establish and open the artworks for the audience. My object of interest is Estonian artist Raul Meel and two of his works: "Under the Sky" (beginning of 1970ties) and "The Dice" (1994, original idea 1969). New digital emulators allow the audience to experiment with artists original ideas, to create their own compositions and to approach artworks as they were initially made for open participation.

On the other side of the strategic design for the trans-disciplinary
Francisca Keller / Chile
Wide Beach University
Design Cases
www.redhacedores.cl
In most governance systems, public policies seek to promote sectorization to measure the country's growth. The success of the strategic plans of the governments is determined by the stratification in biased productive sectors that move away from a holistic conception of the human experience. The tendency to generate actions of exclusion and privileged selection based on an imposed sectoral definition, creates spaces of opacity that prevent the emergence of experiences that propose new organizational logics from the unsuspected combination of the transdisciplinary. The strategic design emerges in the institutions, from the use of new technologies and the new value of advertising, to bring about an experimentation that contributes to overcoming gaps such as distrust of institutions.- Date

Ways of Knowing: Creative Pedagogies for Digital Literacy
Catalina Alzate / India
Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology
Design Cases
This sample design includes two examples of projects that consider digital literacy as a political act with the potential to empower people. The basic premise is that digital literacy is not an isolated educational and technical component for communities, but rather something significant that must be derived from current social and cultural practices, and find scenarios where technology adds value, since digital literacy is an experience and not a final product. The two projects were carried out in rural areas of the state of Karnataka, India, with two communities of women, who engaged in a pedagogical process using digital tools.- Date

DataBlocks - A Tangible Interface for Data Visualization
Ana Jofre, Stephen Tiefenbach Keller, Lan-Xi Dong, Samaa Ahmed, Steve Szegeti and Sara Diamond / Canada OCAD University
Design Cases
We present a prototype for a tangible user interface, designed for interactive data visualization, which we believe will be useful to facilitate collaborative work in data analysis. Our hybrid system combines a desktop-friendly user interface with a two-dimensional display screen. Users interrogate the data by manipulating 'tokens' on the table and screen, which display the results of the user's query. We demo our system with UN demographic data, but we've designed it so that the user can enter their own data to view it.

Experiments at the interface between art, anthropology and science to re-design health campaigns against mosquito-borne diseases
Alejandro Valencia-Tobon / Colombia Autonomous university of Occident
Design Cases
www.alejandrovalenciat.com
The reality is that the number of people becoming infected with mosquito-borne diseases is increasing each year. Dengue ranks as the most important mosquito-borne viral disease. I present mosquito-borne diseases from another point of view, suggesting that the "over-automation" of health campaigns must be replaced by new ways of seeing and thinking about them. Through the creation of Vampires (https://goo.gl/Da7Yyn), the Mosquito Kite (http://goo.gl/oQt2gV), Serotype (http://goo.gl/NnTg6P) and Buzzing (https: / /goo.gl/Zjjzmu), I argue that the simplistic understanding of mosquito-borne diseases centered on the elimination of mosquito breeding sites only leads to inaccurate and imprecise observations of the human-human relationship. mosquito-virus.- Date

ROVER: The Reactive Observant Vacuum Emotive Robot
Hanna Wolfe / USA
University of California Santa Barbara
ROVER, the Vacuous Emotive Robot Reactive Observatory, is an interactive sculpture that navigates the gallery and sings emotionally when it meets people. Based on audio and emotion research, ROVER modulates audio qualities such as timbre, fundamental frequency, contour, mode, and tempo to portray emotion. It also learns space, tracking obstacles and people, while navigating using proximity, bump and heat sensors. ROVER is an experimental platform for human robotic interaction and has been used to conduct research on the human affective response to emotive sounds produced by an embodied agent. ROVER has two modes, an active mode where it moves around the space looking for people to interact with and a passive mode where it is stationary and only interacts when approached. ROVER is a biologically awkward alien form trying to learn to communicate and express emotions.- Date

Interstellar: Cross-Scale Space-Scapes
Clarissa Ribeiro, Mick Lorusso and Herbert Rocha / Brazil
CrossLab, University of Fortaleza
www.clarissaribeiro.com
Conceived as a peaceful and playful exploration of the interstellar space, the augmented reality soundscape installation – “Interstellar: Cross-Scale Space-Scapes” invites the audience to access the experiential dimension of space technologies and how the huge amount of data derived from space exploration can be accessed, processed and visualized. Walking through a softly illuminated room where a few transparent cables come from the ceiling having small augmented reality markers in its extremities, holding an ipad mini one will find him/herself immersed in a soundscape populated with 3D animated models derived from actual nanoscale stardust particles' images.
