  1. Computational and Digital Arts Drivers: leveraging and synergizing cyberinfrastructure advances Donna Cox, Guy Garnett, Kelly Searsmith, Robert Patterson, John Toenjes, Alex Betts, Matt Hall, Stuart Levy, AJ Christensen, Dave Semeraro, Mary Petrowicz IACAT Creativity and Computing, eDream Institute Partners NCSA Strategic Planning Presentation (April 20,2010)

  2. After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are artists as well. (Albert Einstein) The art that is coming will give formal expression to our scientific conviction. (Franz Marc, from Man and his Symbols, Carl Gustav Jung) Art reflects the greatness and humanity of a culture NCSA Strategic Planning Presentation (April 20,2010)

  3. Grand Challenges and Objectives: Cultivate unexpected synergies between art and science • Interdisciplinary teams to solve global complex problems Multimodal & dynamic interactive human-factors research • Embodied experiences to reinforce knowledge acquisition • (visual, audio, gestural, etc) • Alternative data representations and modalities • Wireless networked interactions Broader impact, public outreach & engagement, informal ed. • Future digital cinema and streaming content • Communicating science in dramatic and new ways to the public • Virtual distributed performances Technology transfer into private sector & international partners • Attract high-quality students and competitive advantage NCSA Strategic Planning Presentation (April 20,2010)

  4. NCSA strengths: • Cinematic scientific visualization for public outreach • Creative and educational gaming • Virtual worlds development • ArtsGrid (distributed communities over high-speed networks) • Computational music and performing arts • KCPA and campus relationships NCSA Strategic Planning Presentation (April 20,2010)

  5. Challenges in Reaching the Objectives NCSA Strategic Planning Presentation (April 20,2010) • Issues building & leveraging CI: Collaborative, distributed community and team building Different reward systems for disciplines (exhibits vs tech pubs) Disciplinary language differences in technology use Education and training in use of technology Large data streaming, storing, processing (eg.600B pixels) • Co-opetition: CMU, Berkeley, RPI, CalIT, MIT Media Lab

  6. CI Challenges in Reaching Objectives • CI needs reflects and leverages other scientific technology developments: Handling of real-time data streams (bandwidth, GPU’s, etc) Collaboration and software tools for interactions Multimodal human computer interfaces: • data and vis tools for understanding multiple source data Large-scale computational needs for data and vis processing • Collaborations with technologists and domain scientists NCSA Strategic Planning Presentation (April 20,2010)

  7. Funding: NSF CreativeIT in CISE Cyprus Institute: Digital Cultural Heritage NASA Science-Art Communication Internships Film and gaming industry, Creative Industries Commercial content producers & contracts GLIF, iJapan Performance Network, Cinegrid, etc. NCSA Strategic Planning Presentation (April 20,2010)
