  • What is Digital Art?

    Digital art is a term and a practice that has been prevalent in the museums and contemporary art sectors since the 1960s. As technological advances mean that digital innovations are now pervading many more areas of our lives, the arts industry is starting to take the work of artists working in the digital realm increasingly…

  • Detours: Disney researchers turn houseplants into theremin

    In the Disney Research Lab at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University, Ivan Poupyrev built “Botanicus Interacticus,” a technology designed to create interactive musical instruments out of plants — both living and artificial. Poupyrev’s projects are typically top secret, but he opened Disney’s doors to The Verge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJHDya2UzTU

  • Muscle-Computer Interfaces (muCIs)

    Many human-computer interaction technologies are currently mediated by physical transducers such as mice, keyboards, pens, dials, and touch-sensitive surfaces. Explore the feasibility of muscle-computer input: an interaction methodology that directly senses and decodes human muscular activity rather than relying on physical device actuation or user actions that are externally visible or audible. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/muscle-computer-interfaces-mucis/
