Beyond Codes and Aesthetics with Michael and Shaiyan | Art Focus, Spoken
<p>In this episode of the Beyond Codes and Aesthetics podcast, we speak with Michael and Shaiyan, postdoctoral fellows who research emerging topics and innovations in human and computer vision, virtual reality and sense of presence, and very relevant to all of us now, zoom fatigue.</p> <p>About the speakers:<br> Michael is a postdoctoral fellow at York University. He is currently using virtual reality (VR) to study the relationship between the 3D space depicted on a screen and the space that an observer is in. He wants to use the findings of this line of research to improve existing telecommunication technology and provide an increased sense of presence when interacting with digital contents on the screen.</p> <p>Shaiyan is also a postdoctoral fellow at York University. His goal is to understand the computational mechanisms that underlie human vision. His approach tests modern machine vision and graphics algorithms as models of human behaviour. Apart from elucidating biological vision, his work has the potential to improve computer vision applications.</p> <p>Websites: www.shaiyan.com wxyresearch.com</p> <p>-----</p> <p>2:30 groundwork of research focuses -from human and computer vision to VR and presence</p> <p>11:10 Zoom fatigue and VR workplace in the future and</p> <p>13:03 Future of VR & art and challenges</p> <p>15:55 VR art exhibitions & biennales</p> <p>21:40 Programming realistic VR scene, avatars, haptics,</p> <p>23:45 Human-computer vision relationship, tests, and improvements</p> <p>30:32 Vision and art: shadows, Colour constancy, space, and atmosphere</p> <p>42:06 Perceptions of the world with visual or hearing impairments</p> <p>43:58 Making art more accessible and digital creators making virtual experiences realistic to human senses</p> <p>50:10 Deep learning process and human brain comparatively</p> <p>55:10 Data protection and personal privacy</p> <p>59:00 Art-science collaboration potential</p> <p><br></p>

Beyond Codes and Aesthetics with Yishen Chen | Art Focus, Spoken
<p>In this episode of the Beyond Codes and Aesthetics series of the Art Focus Spoken podcast, we spoke with Yishen Chen about her new curatorial project Parallelism·Futurism (2020). This exhibition takes a holistic approach to explore the collective consciousness of humankind, something that transcends the shackles imposed by our bodies. In the process of this exploration, she raises concerns about modern technology, the perpetual connectedness and the reduction of someone’s existence into a single datum that challenges the very existence of consciousness itself. This curatorial project realized amidst the challenges of 2020 intends to be a response to the concerns and questions raised in quarantine. Overall it conveys a renewed faith in humanity, in 2020 and this exhibition presents the opportunity for the audience to explore their own answers.</p> <p><br></p> <p>About the speaker:<br> London and Shanghai based artist and digital art curator, Yishen Chen received her Master’s degree in Visual Art (book arts) at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London (2018). Yishen's work has been selected for exhibitions in London, Oxford, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Changsha, among others. She continually develops cross-disciplinary research that connects her linguistics, sociology backgrounds with art and philosophy. She mainly works with artists’ books, performance, sound arts and installations. </p> <p>To explore a more undefined realm of expression, Yishen started her practice in both art and tech as a curator who focuses on the field of digital art, and collaborated with artists from all over the world since 2019. Her previous curation and production projects include: the opening exhibition of Aranya Art Centre After Colors (2019), SHIMAO 30th Anniversary Theme Exhibition 30 under 30 (2019), and touring exhibition Parallelism·Futurism (2020).</p> <p><br></p> <p>Check out Kimberly and her work:<br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/easooon/">https://www.instagram.com/easooon/</a></p>

Beyond Codes and Aesthetics: Curating Art-Science Collaborations | Art Focus, Spoken.
<p>Delighted to introduce Beyond Codes and Aesthetics, a new podcast series from Art Focus that explores innovative art-science collaborations that engage with society. This series offers an in-depth look from the perspective of artists, curators, and scientists into the realms of art and science and how they come together to create unexpectedly interesting sparks. </p> <p><br></p> <p>For its first-ever episode, we spoke with art historian, curator, and digital communicator, Kimberly Glassman to discuss the fascinating intersections of art and science in exhibitions, digital outreach projects, and art residencies at scientific research institutes. The Montreal born, Oxford based art historian has curated several interdisciplinary exhibitions, founded the Diversifying Academia research residency at Concordia, and the Interrogating Art-Science Relationship conference at University of Oxford. She has worked at the McCord Museum, the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling, the SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Jewish Montreal, the Convergence Initiative, and the North Wall Art Centre. Kim obtained her BFA in Art History and Psychology at Concordia University and completed her Master of Studies in History of Art and Visual Culture at the University of Oxford.
