Computational art project from Parag K. Mital and Evan Boehm generates abstract 3D forms from a 24 hour news feed - video embedded below:

Dec. 11 2014

365 days ago, Parag K. Mital and Evan Boehm collaborated on the following video collage using only images collected from the previous 24 hour news cycle. The entire video was computationally generated from those images over the 24 hours.

Previously unreleased, this is the result.

No post effects were used.

Primer 2014 Primer is an ongoing collection of moments, extracted from YouTube makeup tutorials, in which the person applies “eye primer” or eyeshadow. The strange sense of intimacy in the banal bedrooms and bathrooms of YouTube tutorials is nothing new, but I have always been fascinated with the ways in which the person in a makeup tutorial uses the computer camera (and, implicitly, the viewer) as the mirror itself. Initially I went in search of those moments where the eye is held open — a kind of vulgar, low-res invitation to one’s soul — but became more fixated on these closeups of the delicate, filmy skin of the eyelid. Here, its fragility is visibly palpated by the (often manicured) finger: a moment where the softness of the human is translated by the softness of digital video. Moreover, after watching so many tutorials, I am left with the sense of a fatigued and embattled eye, forever covered in primer, then scrubbed clean, then covered, then scrubbed clean, day after day. more here

Omnipresenz

Startup project aiming to turn telepresence as a service to guide people as ‘avatars’ in the real world from a computer. They have launched an Indiegogo campaign - video embedded below:

It’s a new way of experiencing reality. Through Omnipresenz you can control the actions of an human Avatar (a teleguided actor/performer that represents you in the distance) located in a specific area of a big city anywhere around the world.

This telepresence tourist makes a live stream online of all of what he sees and hears, while the interaction with you this avatar is done trough an interface similar to a first person video game.

With this online system, not only your eyes and legs can be anywhere you want, but your emotions and decisions to guide and control an unique interactive social experience that can really make an immediate impact local contexts.

I think that some of the terms used here have been stretched a little to sell the idea, but I can certainly see a telepresence workforce in various vocations in the very near future. With recent issues regarding death via policing, systems like this would be necessary.

You can find out more about Omnipresenz and their aims (including some interesting and creative incentives) here
