CATtalk: An IoT-Based Interactive Art Development Platform

Interactive art has been significant advanced by the Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber physical interaction technologies, which enables the participants to engage with the art devices. Several tools and platforms have been proposed to create the art devices. However, the interactive artworks are typically developed with these art devices in ad hoc approaches, and the artists need to spend significant programming efforts to integrate the art devices. This paper proposes CATtalk, a platform to create and maintain interactive artworks. The novel idea is to treat all art devices in an interactive artwork as IoT devices that can be transparently reused by reconfiguration in CATtalk. Therefore, the artworks developed independently by individual artists can be quickly integrated to create new interactive applications. Through CATtalk’s no-code and low-code mechanisms, the artists can manipulate CATtalk with little or no programing efforts. CATtalk offers a built-in mechanism so that any person in the audience can play with an interactive artwork with his/her smartphone. We also conduct analytic analysis, simulation and measurements to ensure that the interactive art performance in cross-country remote stages are not affected by the communications delays. In our measurements, the average local and remote communication delays are about 0.01 and 0.05 seconds, respectively. If the art performance is designed such that the average delay between two actions of a local (remote) performer is longer than 0.1 seconds, then the probability of out-of-sequence actions is less than 0.01%. That is, the local dancer should perform slower than the remote dancer. Such delay analysis for remote interactive art performance has not been conducted in the literature.

What Kind of Influence Can Be Obtained during Groupwork in Art Appreciation

Recently, there have been many movement to utilise arts in order to solve certain problems —such as “business x art,” “education x art” and “artistic community x area activation.” The situation of art has been also diversified. Accordingly, it will be diversified in the style of meeting the artists or artworks, and art appreciation styles. For such a unfamiliar group, instead of the appreciation style that mainly explain about artists and artworks, a strategy such an interactive art appreciation where participants think important what they feel during art appreciations.In this paper, we will propose the easier art appreciation strategy according as the diversification of the situation in art. By the strategy, we have an objective that people can have more opportunities for art appreciation and have more interest in art.

The Influence of Artificial Intelligence on Art Design in the Digital Age

With the advancement of technology represented by artificial intelligence, art creation is becoming increasingly rich, and content expression is intelligent, interactive, and data-driven, making the relationship between technology, art, and people increasingly close and bringing opportunities for the development of emerging interaction. Artificial intelligence technologies aim to perfectly replicate the human mind by enabling natural responses based on the surrounding environment, decoding emotions, and recognizing human traits within the energy range. Driven by AI technology, interactive art no longer focuses on a single audiovisual sensory experience but rather on integrated artistic expressions that are highly interactive, kinetic, and emotional, based on the study of natural human behavior and integrated senses, combined with intelligence. In this paper, we first sort out the intersection of AI technology development and interactive art expression streams on the timeline based on historical development and analyze the deconstructive relationship between the two from the macroperspective of the historical development of technology and art. First, based on the conceptual connotation, development history, technical application, and singularity outlook of AI, we identify the current characteristics and development trends of interactive art; second, based on exploring the advantages of AI technology, we propose the impact of AI on the creative thinking, creative mode, and artistic experience of interactive art and establish the paradigm of interactive art creation in the context of AI. It solves the problem that experts are unable to quickly locate the category of painters when facing different styles of unsigned digital Chinese painting images in the authenticity identification task.

A Digital Health Platform for Integrated and Proactive Patient-Centered Multimorbidity Self-management and Care (ProACT): Protocol for an Action Research Proof-of-Concept Trial

BackgroundMultimorbidity is defined as the presence of two or more chronic diseases and associated comorbidities. There is a need to improve best practices around the provision of well-coordinated, person-centered care for persons with multimorbidities. Present health systems across the European Union (EU) focus on supporting a single-disease framework of care; the primary challenge is to create a patient-centric, integrated care ecosystem to understand and manage multimorbidity. ProACT is a large-scale project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme, that involved the design, development, and evaluation of a digital health platform to improve and advance home-based integrated care, and supported self-management, for older adults (aged ≥65 years) living with multimorbidity.ObjectiveThis paper describes the trial implementation protocol of a proof-of-concept digital health platform (ProACT) in 2 EU member states (Ireland and Belgium) to support older persons with multimorbidities self-managing at home, supported by their care network (CN).MethodsResearch was conducted across 2 EU member states, Ireland and Belgium. A 12-month action research trial design, divided into 3 evaluation cycles and lasting 3 months each, with a reflective redesign and development phase of 1 month after cycles 1 and 2 was conducted. Participants were 120 (60/120, 50% in Ireland and 60/120, 50% in Belgium) older persons with multimorbidities diagnosed with two or more of the following chronic conditions: diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic heart failure, and cardiovascular diseases. With permission from persons with multimorbidities, members of their CN were invited to participate in the study. Persons with multimorbidities were provided with ProACT technologies (tablet, devices, or sensors) to support them in self-managing their conditions. CN members also received access to an app to remotely support their persons with multimorbidity. Qualitative and quantitative feedback and evaluation data from persons with multimorbidity and CN participants were collected across four time points: baseline (T1), at the end of each 3-month action research cycle (T2 and T3), and in a final posttrial interview (T4). Thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative interview data. Quantitative data were analyzed via platform use statistics (to assess engagement) and standardized questionnaires (using descriptive and inferential statistics). This study is approved by the ethics committees of Ireland and Belgium.ResultsThe trial implementation phase for this 44-month (2016-2019) funded study was April 2018 to June 2019. The trial outcomes are at various stages of publication since 2021.ConclusionsProACT aims to co-design and develop a digital intervention with persons with multimorbidities and their CN, incorporating clinical guidelines with the state of the art in human-computer interaction, behavioral science, health psychology, and data analytic methods to deliver a digital health platform to advance self-management of multimorbidity at home, as part of a proactive, integrated model of supported person-centered care.International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)RR1-10.2196/22125

Aesthetics and STEAM education: the case of Korean STEAM curricula at the art high school

ABSTRACT Scientific reasoning and aesthetics are not mutually exclusive disciplines, as scientists’ achievements are based not only on cognitive ability, but also on creativity, imagination, and embodied thought through various experiences. With the aim of investigating the role of aesthetic experience in the learning processes involved in the integration of art, science, and technology, this study explored students’ experience of creating interactive art, which is the combination of art, science, and technology, within the context of Korean STEAM education. The participants were 19 high school students majoring in art. Each student envisioned their own artwork and constantly held individual consultations on their ideas with technical, artistic, and science education experts. I visited and observed this project for nine months and collected various types of qualitative data, such as conversations between students and technical experts, individual interviews with students, interview with a teacher, and students’ artefacts. These data are used to construct a case study to interpret the meaning of art high school students’ experiences of interactive art creation from the perspective of aesthetics. Through this learning experience, students were able to recognise the limitations of their thoughts and transform their ideas through the application of new scientific knowledge and skills.

PROBLEMS OF TERMINOLOGY WITHIN THE CONCEPT OF «UKRAINIAN LAND ART»

Abstract. Fundamental art studies in the field of land art are not yet available in Ukraine, and individual articles in periodicals do not reveal the principles of the formation of the actual Ukrainian art of the environment, its features and differences from abroad land art. To date, the phenomenon of Ukrainian land art has not received its own term and for thirty years in a row uses the borrowed foreign name «land art», while the uniqueness of domestic environmental art is an indisputable fact. The article considers the peculiarities of the formation of land art abroad and in the system of Ukrainian contemporary art. The analysis and clarification of terminology related to land art in Ukraine has been carried out. The author's term for the phenomenon of the Ukrainian land art is offered. The study found that the application of the foreign term «land art» to the domestic art of interaction with the environment is not exhaustive, because it does not reveal the full range of creative communication of artists with the environment and is too narrow in relation to it. At that time, the term «mystectvo dovkillja» («art of the environment»), introduced by P. Bevza, is too wide a range of artistic creativity, where «environment» is used in the sense of «environment» as one that contains the entire surrounding space. Therefore, it isn't inexpedient to apply the foreign term «land art» to the creative practices of Ukrainian artists. At the same time, «art of the environment» is too abstract a concept for the term «land art», which aims at a specific creative interaction with the earth. Environmental art aims to decorate and equip a person's place of residence, which expresses his utilitarianism and may include: both landscape art and landscape design and monumental art, site-specific art, ecological art, as preservation and repair of the Earth's resources, etc. Domestic artists work with natural materials in the natural environment in order to create a new art product. Accordingly, instead of the term «Ukrainian land art» it is appropriate to use the term «pryrodotvorche mystectvo» («natural creative art»), because the context of the Ukrainian art form is characterized by creative interaction with the natural environment and materials as a way to create a new art product. Theoretical research of the work is the basis for further in-depth scientific development of the problem, namely, the phenomenon of land art in the system of contemporary art of Ukraine.

Innovation and Agency: To What Extent Did Cultural Appropriation Affect the Development of Jewellery in Britain During the 1st to 2nd Centuries AD?

From the Late Iron Age (LIA) to the second century AD significant cultural and technological changes occurred within Britain, commonly associated with the new relationship formed with the Roman Empire. This paper examines the jewellery of Roman Britain in an attempt to track the changes which occurred after the Roman occupation began. This examination aims to allow us to understand the true nature of the developments and how they could have been influenced by cultural appropriation. This paper argues that the Roman occupation acted as a catalyst for change, promoting the development and innovation of techniques, styles, and designs which were already established in pre-Roman traditions. As evidence for this, the pre-existing technical and artistic interactions with places, such as Gaul and Ireland will be discussed with consideration given to the persistence and innovation of already established pre-Roman techniques. A discussion of internal trade and distribution patterns in use prior to the Roman occupation is incorporated. These existing trends will then be compared to the development patterns which emerge during the early period of Roman occupation.

Om skønheden i den interaktive installationskunst

Heinrich analyses three interactive installations and outlines a rudimentary theory for the notion of beauty in interactive art. Interactive beauty is identified as a judgment unfolding as performative ‘flow’ on the one hand and on the other as a potential for overcoming the rigid limits of the algorithmic systems.

PENCIPTAAN WAYANG GODHONK BERBAHAN LIMBAH DAUN KERING SEBAGAI UPAYA PENINGKATAN PENGETAHUAN SENI BUDAYA

Traditional art is more hereditary and follows the existing standards, while modern art is more towards novelty and longs for fresh works. Creative artists will produce works that can be enjoyed both visually and conceptually. The art of wayang godhong performance is one of the mediums of expression about the traditions and lives of tobacco farmers in treading their lives. Wayang godhong is expected to be asustainable art and can also be included as contemporary art that combines tradition and contemporary art. Wayang godhong is indeed a unique and interesting work of art that combines performances and works of art that are embodied in the figures of the puppet forms. The works of art that are displayed become a puppet. Wayang godhong already has a lot of fans, besides that wayang godhong can also be used as an effective communication medium other than as a medium of education, especially knowledge of art and culture. In this study, the author uses an interactive art creation methodology with children, and effective two-way communication occurs so that art and culture knowledge education for children in Kalisak, Salaman, Magelang can be achieved.

Identity and Economy at the Crossroads of Innovation and Sustainability. Artistic Interaction Combined with Scientific Analyses of Two Small Norwegian Rural Communities

AbstractThe focus of this article is two small Norwegian rural societies and the adaption to a creative economy at the crossroads of innovation, sustainability, and survival, during centralization, generational change in a welfare state. One of the communities, Etnedal, is an inland mountainous municipality. The other, Solund, is a coastal fishing, fish-farming, and farming municipality. The two municipalities are from point of population among the smallest in Norway. The author discusses, the importance of the identity attached to the traditions of sustainability. The data is published statistical and historical information, as well as oral information and the interaction from two art projects in the communities. Both are ongoing artistic interaction and documentation. The discourse of the article is from the point of critical realism.

DataStory\u2122: an interactive sequential art approach for data science and artificial intelligence learning experiences

Technical training in the fields of data science and artificial intelligence has recently become a highly desirable skill for industry positions as well as a focus of STEM education programs in higher education. However, most of the educational training and courses in data science and artificial intelligence are abstract and highly technical which is not appropriate for all audiences. In this paper, we propose a sequential art approach that uses visual storytelling with integrated coding learning experiences to teach data science concepts. A scoping literature review was conducted to answer the following question: does sufficient evidence exist in the literature to support a sequential art approach to data science and A.I. education? The learning science, sequential art, and dual coding literature bases were then interrogated to answer that question. With knowledge gained from this review, an initial DataStory™ prototype was constructed, using a technical platform capable of delivering an engaging and interactive sequential art learning experience. And finally, findings from a focus group study using the DataStory™ prototype are discussed in which participant feedback to this new learning experience is reported.

Performance Art Using Biometric Data

Summary This research analyzes performance art that uses biometric data, based on two concept perspectives – inhuman interconnections and transcorporeality – applied to examples of European performance art from Lithuania, Finland, Poland, and Denmark. The term performance art theoretically refers to all art that involves the human body, human biometric data, inhuman interconnections, transcorporeality, and liminal space. This study examines the differences between wide-scope interactive art and design and performance art involving biometric data created through the application of recent developments in consumer technology for live events. This research examined three case projects through the method of autoethnography. The data presented in the article was either collected during the author’s performance art events or at performances the author was attending as a visitor. The cases are analyzed by means of qualitative data analysis, utilizing terms representing human biometric data and interactivity adopted from research within the fields of interactive art and interactive design. The study examines the combination of biometric data and art to explain the phenomenon of humans meeting technology, revealed through data collected from a body and transmitted to an audience during a performance art event. The conclusion revisits the key terms – performance art, biometric data, inhuman interconnections and transcorporeality – as applied to artistic practices, where performance art and biometric data meet.

Do chimpanzees enjoy a virtual forest? A pilot investigation of the use of interactive art as a form of environmental enrichment for zoo-housed chimpanzees.

Environmental enrichment is essential for the well-being of zoo animals. Recent advances in sensor and video technologies may contribute to improvements in enrichment in terms of their flexibilities and time constraints. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether interactive movie art can be used as a form of environmental enrichment. We implemented interactive movies designed by a professional artist, a visual art aiming to reflect naturalistic forest habitat, in an indoor chimpanzee enclosure at Kyoto City Zoo in Japan. Motion-tracking sensors embedded in buoys were installed at several locations around the indoor enclosure; the chimpanzees could change the movie contents by physically interacting with these objects. We recorded behaviors by observing entire troop of chimpanzees (six) between March 16 and 20, 2020 (control condition), then recorded behaviors when the interactive movie was presented (experimental condition) between March 21 and 29, 2020. Behaviors were recorded via direct observations and video recordings to examine any changes after the installation of interactive art. The chimpanzees spent more time in the indoor enclosures during the experimental condition than during the control condition. Activity budgets did not change substantially during the study period. There was no evidence of habituation to the movie during the study period. Three chimpanzees, including two young chimpanzees, interacted with the movie more frequently than the others; these young chimpanzees occasionally showed playful expressions when interacting with the movie and exhibited different reactivities to the movie scenes. These results demonstrate, first, that the interactive art did not negatively affect chimpanzee behavior, and second, that some of the chimpanzees indeed showed positive responses to the art. This study, therefore, introduces a novel possibility for environmental enrichment in zoos, involving a collaboration between science and art.

Social media art and/or interactive art? Exhibitionist: PeeP Stream by Ye Funa and Bei Ou

In December 2015, three artistic events of the Exhibitionist: PeeP Stream Series were held, initiated by Ye Funa (b. 1986) and Bei Ou (b. 1987). The artists and other participants took part in a performance, which was shown live online. The artists used social media and live streaming to make the work. Viewers were invited to post their comments about it and their statements became part of the artistic project. For the artists, their intent was to break down boundaries between daily display and art exhibition, and to reduce the distance between the public and contemporary art. The Series raised questions about contemporary consumerism, sexual identity, the aesthetics of Camp, and stylizations derived from Japanese pop culture. The essay also considers if Exhibitionist: PeeP Stream should be regarded as ‘social media art’, a genre of interactive art, or an ‘interactive spectacle’. The article highlights the innovation of Exhibitionist: PeeP Stream as an artwork created on the border of art and daily life and indirectly continuing the artistic tradition of Fluxus.

Watching Me, Watching You: Reflections Upon Surveillance, Gare Loch Duality and the #UndesiredLine

From my local observations, the everyday military surveillance, an ever-present panopticon, perpetuates both conscious and unconscious stress in the lives of those who endure it. In this paper I will reflect upon my experiences of a 224 mile pilgrimage that I undertook in 2018, over a period of 50 days. It was a daily walk from the front door of my house to the front door of the Faslane Nuclear Submarine Base, on the Gare Loch in Scotland. A walking performance, through which I drew an Undesired Line on the grass verge in parallel to an existing "undesired line" - the perimeter fence of the Base. Throughout the time the performance was in progress, I made an online text artwork using the Twitter hashtag #UndesiredLine. One year later, I reactivated the #UndesiredLine text-work in order to analyse subsequent observations and to establish a platform (and outlet) to examine the complex reality of Gare Loch ‘duality’. I will look at the potential legacy for The Undesired Line, and how I can use the documentation: video, photos, daily journal writings, field recordings, tweets and maps. In addition to appraising my own work, I will discuss surveillance focused artworks by David Rokeby, Janet Cardiff and The Surveillance Camera Players. I will also consider some of the ethical challenges of interactive art, as well as the implications and limitations of "piggy-backing" an online artwork onto existing online platforms such as Twitter and Google Maps.

Integration of Resilience Training and English Training through a Lens of Social Constructionism

ABSTRACT Most Chinese pre-arrival training programs are focused on English language training without preparing students with psychological readiness to overcome potential adversities. This paper explores the effectiveness of an innovative six-week pre-arrival training program that integrated English training with resilience training through the lens of social constructionism. The program involved a mix of English proficiency training using stories with an underlying resilience theme coupled with further reinforcement of resilience skills through interactive narratives, bibliotherapy and art therapy. Thirty Chinese students who were enrolled in a joint venture training program between China and the U.K. were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The result of the pretest and posttest comparison after students participated in the training program showed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s overall English skills and resilience, and a decrease in their anxiety, stress, and depression compared to the control group.
