what is EYEO?an assembly of creative coders / data
designers/ designers / artists
...so clearly, I’m not a coder or a designer, so what the hell am I doing here?
simple: this may be the one of the most progressive group of thinkers + culture makers
in the world today.
caveat: the following is extracted from my garbled notes
some ideas may be paraphrased, but all
cited for further exploration (which I highly recommend...)

Can a machine draw the same way I can?

Frieder Nake• A true pioneer in digital media known for his
groundbreaking efforts in algorithmic arts, who believes there is not complete unity between the algorithmic world and the artistic world
• a perspective on artificial intelligence - it is only truly possibly if the behavior you are trying to elicit is computable - non-computable behaviors are infinite. (“There Should Be No Computer Art”, 1971)
• “paintings are waiting in museums because they want to talk to us - the museum of the future will be completely interactive”
wikipedia.org/wiki/Frieder_Nake
Lillian Schwartz
• Lillian Schwartz is the original gangster digital artist - and the first digital artist to be acquired by MoMA
• one of the pioneers of abstract computer graphics she was one of the only females at Bell Laboratories in the 60’s - understanding machine language and playing with color and 3D effects well before it became a “thing”

“Drawing is the tactile feedback for your mind.”

“the shape of my thoughts”
• drawing is a mixture of what your are seeing and what you are imagining
• drawing is a means to figuring out exactly what it is you’re thinking
• to structure information
• to explore elements
• to refine an idea
• captures whimsy and emotion in interfaces sometimes lost in digital world

“Where there is participation you feel it in the bricks.”

we can dance • Daily tous les jours - Montreal based multidisciplinary
projects at the intersection of participation, design and technology
• Breathing some magic into everyday spaces inviting the public to become active participants in the process and outcome
• Kit Operette - interactive operetta
• gesture based design, inspired by marionettes
• “Kit Opérette is a playful interactive game that invites visitors to slip into the persona of iconic characters from an operetta. Visitors sing and dance their way through a dynamic decor that is virtually and physically reminiscent of a period operetta. Every player adopts different parts in the performance, each following opportunely placed props and instructions, together creating a piece that evolves along with their participation.” read more

moment now than it is of the actual future
• “future music” could not contain lyrics
• cannot be rhythmic - tied to physiology
• eternal music would just be tomes
• Computer Music: machines making music for each other, not just for humans
• Daisy 1961- Bell Labs + Hall (IBM)
• Hatsune Miku - Japan’s socially constructed pop star, spurred on entirely new kind of fan culture that could never be supported by a human.
