Certain facial movements were acquired to serva a biological adapture function. Their association with emotion over time has become innate. Darwin states that there is a difference between facial expressions of emotions, which are innate ...

Ekman
Ekman diagram looking into the way that a persons facial expression develops with environment/ cultural variability. Eckman agrees with Darwin stating that there are 2 rules for controlling facial expression. One which is Universal and the other that is culturally different. Ekman’s research goes on to explain key basic facial expressions that occur biologically universal ...

Emblems
Looking into Paul Ekman (Adrians suggestion). Perfect research for developing humanities project and raises many interesting points on body language and facial expression. This is proving to support our current work into slowing down emotional responses of participants thinking about different emotions drawing upon their previous experiences. The participant bringing their response to the piece ...

Holtin Glance
Really nice use of servo motors timed with video footage. I like this idea of capturing that moment of uncertainty. Is the face looking at me… it would be really nice to incorporate the spectator into something like this making it a 3 way system…what if the DFI’s started to glance at the spectator or ...

Max Fragmentation Reflection
I began this doing project by looking into the concept of fragmentation. From this I thought I would look into how to redraw fine art “masters” images, still lifes in particular. This resulted in me having a look at counter objects, pack, and getcell sencell objects…after unpacking the numbers I thought I could play about with ...

Max Fragmentation 2
After thinking through this title and playing about with Max it seems that the idea that all things are fragmented when displayed (working wit the quote from William Vaughan in his essay ‘History of Art in the Digital Age: Problems and Possibilities’) that my idea of fragmenting a scene or art work would really compliment this ...

Aaron Koblin
Just found a really interesting connection between some of new participatory web experiences thanks to Brigitta. So it seems that this guy Aaron Koblin is involved in most of the new music and data visualisation projects coming out. lets just say that he is a bit of a ninja. “the culture of the 21st century will ...

The Internal Retreat from Shared Public Space
Looking at how we close ourselves of in public spaces such as the subway (metro) and retreat into using devices such as Ipod, mobile phone … both intrusive yet solitary, only one person engaged … unless you are “lucky” enough to have a gang of young persons in tracksuits play their favourite tunes at a ...

Fragmentation Max
Found a really incisive quote in regard to digital images by William Vaughan in his essay ‘History of Art in the Digital Age: Problems and Possibilities’. His sentiments begin that : – The digital image rather than it being a reproduction in the way that an analogue is. It is a transformation of an image. ...

MIP reflection
If I was to start this project again I think I would look further into my initial ideas, that of a flowing river resonating above one of the hidden waterways and the image fugulator, and possibly thinking about combining the two like Michael suggested. It has only really come to me recently about how I ...

World Game
Article from http://www.bfi.org/about-bucky/buckys-big-ideas/world-game In the 1960′s Buckminster Fuller proposed a “great logistics game” and “world peace game” (later shortened to simply, the “World Game”) that was intended to be a tool that would facilitate a comprehensive, anticipatory, design science approach to the problems of the world. The use of “world” in the title obviously refers ...

Urban Golf Rules
Just thinking of some rules for Newcastle Urban Golf – using some already mentioned by other groups and some new ones. Using basic golf rules as back drop. 1. Do not play where people may be injured. Use quiet areas, disused spaces. Follow original golf course. If you come up with variation post on group ...

Accursed Share (Vol1) Bataille
Bataille’ text looks at the abundance of energy within the ecosystem and how its abundance creates new organisms (the sun). Also looks into loss/ waste of such energy and how we have at our disposal more energy than is needed…. curious as we as humans are still fighting over fossil fuels when science and technology ...

Materialism Expanded and Remixed
In any case, these developments are 1) Real, 2) Pressing and 3) They severely limit (or in the case of nonlocality, profoundly undermine) a materialism consisting of little shiny pingpong balls, bundled with the attitude of subject–object dualism…….how human beings progress to a point at which they are ready to drop the shiny pingpong balls might look paradoxically like a ...
