Mental Maps of Traditional Fishermen in the Caribbean Sea
Fabian Leotteau / Colombia
Universidad de Caldas
Paper
http://www.ucaldas.edu.co
Traditional fishermen of Old Providence, Taganga and La Boquilla, Colombia rely on mental maps as a tool to identify the best locations to fish. Fishermen read natural signs and use geometry, arithmetic and images in the mind to create mental navigation maps for fishing in the Caribbean Sea. Life experiences provide the empirical knowledge to create oral stories and life histories in the development of mental paths in the minds ideological heritage of the fishermen. These mental paths, revealed by the researcher-artist through drawings visualized, form a metalanguage that has its own visual codes, a visual alphabet and a glossary of images.- Date

Journalism visualization devices: six visual modes of seeing
Hugo Plazas / Colombia
University of Narino
Paper
http://www.udenar.edu.co
The growing number of visualization devices in the online journalism world draws attention to the mechanisms both technical and symbolic that build the relationship between the producer and the user in the interaction with the device. This relation has been studied in different approaches and empirical research; some of them related to the visual studies field. This paper aims to contribute to the study of the visual aspects of this relationship through the analysis of the implicit representation of the user that the producer depicts into the device.- Date

TURBA Concert in 15 movements for 64 neural oscillators
Patxi Araujo / Spain
UPV/EHU
Paper
http://www.patxiaraujo.com
TURBA is a hybrid environment of artistic speculation that combines an electromechanical robotic device and its sonification with the network structure of 64 neural oscillators and the social context of the collective behaviors. None of the actions generated by TURBA is previously arranged: no sound, no movement, no pattern is deliberately produced. Quite the opposite, these elements come alive because of their own processes in their own network structure.- Date

Place-making With Telepresence: A Navigation Guide to A Journey into Time Immemorial's Seven Exhibition Spaces
Claude Fortin / Canada
McGill University
Paper
https://www.mcgill.ca/ahcs/people-contacts/postdocs/claude-fortin
A Journey into Time Immemorial is an interactive website that historically represents the everyday way of life of Stó:lō-Coast Salish peoples in a computer-generated naturalistic setting. This paper closely examines aspects of its seven exhibition spaces to investigate the relationship between the poetics of new media and contemporary curatorial practices in Indigenous culture. By doing so, it seeks to showcase an award-winning example of how an Indigenous community made use of digital technologies and online platforms to reclaim the right to curate, design, and display its own living history, to extend placemaking into cyberspace, and to establish a direct relationship with the general public.- Date

Prolegomena for a Transdisciplinary Investigation Into the Materialities and Aesthetics of Soft Systems
Jonas Jørgensen / Denmark
IT University of Copenhagen
Paper
This paper presents exploratory research on the materiality, aesthetics and ecological potential of soft robots. Within the still emerging paradigm of soft robotics research, bio-inspiration is often hailed as being of central importance. The paper argues that soft robotics should equally be seen as giving prominence to materiality and the enactive and processual potential of soft matter. The paper excavates different notions of materiality within media art that uses soft robots and in technical soft robotics research practices and discourses. Against this background, the author's own practice-based experiments with soft robots are presented.- Date

The Demise of the Frame: A Media Archeology of Motion Prediction
Ricardo Cedeño Montaña / Germany
Humboldt-Universität in Berlin
Paper
http://drnn1076.pktweb.com
Prediction theory emerged during the WWII in order to improve anti-aircraft artillery and resulted in algorithms devised to statistically predict airplanes and missile paths. Although today prediction is the backbone of the video compression, the historical and technical connection between this mathematical theory and contemporary imaging technologies has not been sufficiently determined. Using a media archaeological approach this paper discusses how the implementation during the 1990s of prediction algorithms to video compression has generated an entirely new type of moving images.
