4. Corposcopio

   O projeto Corposcopio é uma instalação cíbrida que integra dois mundos. Por um lado, os participantes são convidados a vivenciar uma atividade muito antiga e presente em diversas culturas do mundo: as danças circulares. A proposta é estimular a experiência da riqueza ritual presente nas danças realizadas em círculo, de mãos dadas. Tais danças têm uma grande capacidade de agregar pessoas em grupos colaborativos. Por outro lado, questões referentes ao cotidiano tecnológico são propostas a partir da utilização de imagens midiatizadas, bancos de dados e remixagens. Nesse sentido, Corposcopio utiliza elementos tais como câmeras de vigilância, tecnologias móveis, aparelhos de telefone celular, estética do banco de dados, projeções e manipulações de imagens em tempo real.

5. Kubbe Lager Skyggeteater

   In this digital first picture book app, the reader encounters several interwoven stories connected by a thoroughly digital aesthetics that suits the different stories. The frame narrative centres around Kubbe, an anthropomorphic wooden log (kubbe is Norwegian for log) who is having a picnic with his grandmother and becomes curious about the shadows he sees. Upon hearing his grandmother’s story about how shadow theatre was created in ancient China, Kubbe decides to produce his own shadow theater: an unusal retelling of “Little Red Riding Hood”. The tablet’s affordances of back lighting, animation and visual spatiality are exploited in this app in a manner that suits and enhances the different stories’ individual characteristics.

6. ISEA2015 Disruption

   ISEA2015’s theme of DISRUPTION invites a conversation about the aesthetics of change, renewal, and game-changing paradigms. We look to raw bursts of energy, reconciliation, error, and the destructive and creative forces of the new. Disruption contains both blue sky and black smoke. When we speak of radical emergence we must also address things left behind. Disruption is both incremental and monumental. In practices ranging from hacking and detournement to inversions of place, time, and intention, creative work across disciplines constantly finds ways to rethink or reconsider form, function, context, body, network, and culture. Artists push, shape, break; designers reinvent and overturn; scientists challenge, disprove and re-state; technologists hack and subvert to rebuild. Disruption and rupture are fundamental to digital aesthetics. Instantiations of the digital realm continue to proliferate in contemporary culture, allowing us to observe ever-broader consequences of these effects and the aesthetic, functional, social and political possibilities that arise from them.
