The Clarinet as a Tangible Acoustic Interface

This article proposes to support the concept that the clarinet can be transformed and considered as a Tangible Acoustic Interface (TAI) when under the influence of digital media art or digital components. The traditional instrument, developed over centuries by luthier’s handcraft in collaboration with instrumentalists and composers, underwent an evolution triggered by digital means in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Instrumentalists became the new luthiers and began to explore this digital path by augmenting and actuating their instruments. This exploration brought new properties and directions for its performance and, also, new conceptions regarding the connection between the actors involved – instrumentalist, instrument, computer, microphone, software, and others. By comparing and analysing concepts and definitions related to interfaces and their interaction, this paper discusses the new concept of TAI, which results from an expanded vision of the subject and first-person experience. This concept discusses a point of view where the instrument can also be a communication channel between different domains, connecting the instrumentalist with other realities and giving the possibility to seek new artistic paths.

A New Paradigm for Visual Communication in the Convergence of Digital Media and Art and Design

Abstract This paper integrates motion graphics into the field of visual communication art design. Hierarchical analysis is utilized to calculate the comprehensive weight ranking of each dynamic graphic design element at the sub-criteria level and to understand the real needs of users from the perspective of user needs and experience design. The relationship between dynamic graphics and emotional relief is explored by comparing the data of the emotional self-assessment scale of the experimental and control groups. After analysis, it can be seen that the perceptual attribute (0.43587) is the most important indicator of perceptual fluency in dynamic graphic design and the most important issue that should be considered in the design, followed by the aesthetic attribute (0.28816). In the analysis of user requirements, content that is vivid, interesting, and colorful accounts for a mean value of 60%. As the use of motion graphics design expands, it will undoubtedly become one of the most basic, versatile, and universal ways of visual communication and artistic expression.

Процессы цифровизации в искусстве и творчестве: диалектика взаимосвязи

The article examines the peculiarities of the processes of digitalization in contemporary art and their influence on the artist, the comprehension of virtual space in the philosophy of postmodernism. In the article the specificity of digital art is discussed, and the extent of justifiability of the predictions of the development of virtual reality in art is determined. In the philosophy of postmodernism, the processes of virtualization have been evaluated ambivalently. The virtual dimension does not always stand against reality. Art presents a sphere of a productive interaction between the real and the virtual. The virtual world created by art contains within itself the possibility of transferal into actual reality. On the one hand, the contemporary processes of digitalization in art enhance the tendencies of degradation of the cyber culture, the possibility of replacement of the artist with the programmer. On the other hand, they erase the boundary between the real and the virtual worlds. The space generated by the computer opens up new strata of the multifaceted world, other dimensions of the already familiar existence. The means of computer technologies generate diversity in the aesthetic perception of art. But for actualization of the virtual space as a transformed reality a creator is required. The preservation of the self-sufficient presence of the artist in digital technologies of art would be possible with the aid of the dialectic character of their interaction.

Florence 4D. Locating, Connecting and Experiencing 3D Models in the Early Modern City

3D models of historical sites tend to be presented to researchers and the wider public as isolated "objects" that can be freely manipulated through online platforms, with little consideration of their original settings or their physical qualities. The Florence 4D project proposes new ways of presenting 3D models of buildings and the artworks they contained within the early modern city of Florence through an interactive website that allows users to navigate the built environment using historic maps, a variety of historical geodatasets, and embedded 3D models linked into an underpinning database. Such an approach makes it possible to digitally reinstate connections between buildings that have often been radically transformed and their spatial context. In turn by redeploying these same 3D models onto an agile location-aware app (Hidden Florence 3D), the models can be experienceed as Augmented Reality enhancements on location in the city, as well as in connection with artworks that may have been relocated to museum collections, delivering innovative digital art history research to wider audiences.
