Research outputs

Posted by: Mónica Mendes in Digital Media Environmental arts Interactive installations Online platform PhD research 15 years, 2 months ago

RTiVISS outputs will be a trade-off between aesthetic pleasure from contemplative observation and interactive experiments of forests real-time videos. RTiVISS will also explore a tense feeling of control over danger and functional monitoring for forest protection in a surveillance system. Main outcomes include:

. Online, a multiplatform prototype optimized for access with computers and mobile phones. It includes real-time forests videos, artistic explorations, interfaces for users input, forum, statistics database, a video archive open for free use, and a repository of the documents and software produced within the project

. Interactive installations for public exhibition and participation

. Users feedback and evaluation

. Publications and digital arts exhibitions.

By promoting a more sustainable world through digital media arts and experimental design, this project blurs the distinction between art and society, local and global, contributing to broader aesthetic and political implications of new technology-engaged art forms, tools and media.

Activist RTiVISS

Posted by: Mónica Mendes in Digital Media Environmental arts Forests protection PhD research Sustainability 15 years, 3 months ago

RTiVISS proposes innovative ways of conceiving both digital media arts and cutting edge environmentally sustainable practices through critical research and experimental approaches. Multiplatform devices will provide access to real-time networked video for users to "adopt" selected forests. The interactive system feeds a broad community sharing "the emotion of real-time" and the challenge of uncertainty, remotely monitoring natural environments for forests protection and aesthetic exploration.

An activist facet sparks due to the potential of contributing to forests preservation and, ultimately, to a more sustainable world.

RTiVISS

Posted by: Mónica Mendes in Digital Media PhD research Real-time video Sustainability 15 years, 3 months ago

Real-time Video Interactive Systems for Sustainability is part of a PhD research in Digital Media in the framework of the UT Austin-Portugal Program by Mónica Mendes, with Nuno Correia and Sílvia Chicó as advisors.
RTiVISS proposes innovative use of real-time video in artistic contexts, simultaneously contributing to help forest protection. Assuming a surveillance metaphor, can we conceive a project that is both artistic and functional?
