Workshop 2

NMNT 2017

Old New Media Expo• Steps

– Audience experience first – if possible by experiencing the work with minimal introduction

– Then explain the concept how you would explain it to a general visitor audience, what led you to the concept, possible extensions – again from a conceptual or experience perspective

– Only then provide any ‘inside info’ on how the project is realized (more for your fellow students)

– Audience should reflect on the work by asking questions & giving (constructive) criticism and comments

• Evaluation criteria– The strength, novelty, depth, interestingness, originality, clarity,

creativity, context of the concept itself (i.e. not taking into account technicalities of how it was built)

– The execution of the project as displayed by the end result– The (technical) approach of how the project was realized – complexity

not necessarily an advantage (maximum of effect with minimum of means).

– The documentation on the course website

The Cinema of the Future (Morton Heilig, 1956)

• ‘The Cinema of the Future’

• Reality Machines• Dissolving the

So what is the ultimate display? Where there is no

distinction between the real and the virtual?

NMNT 2017

Building blocks for the reality

engine

To rebuild reality?

No.

To gain familiarity

with concepts not realizable in the physical

world.

The Ultimate DisplayIvan Sutherland, 1965

‘The ultimate display would, of course, be a room within which the computer can control the existence of matter. A chair displayed in such a room would be good enough to sit in. Handcuffs displayed in such a room would be confining, and a bullet displayed in such a room would be fatal. With appropriate programming such a display could literally be the Wonderland into which Alice walked.’
