http://illinois.edu/calendar/Calendar?calId=117Events at the Beckman Institute(c) 2012, Beckman Institute and Board of Trustees, University of Illinois60http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/117?eventId=16256129Software now facilitates many aspects of daily life, whether it's your phone, your bank, your car, or your refrigerator. Though immaterial, software is still a designed object created by humans. I'm interested in how those designs serve their creators, as well as the systems those creations reside within. Why do those designs result in certain kinds of human-computer interfaces? How do those interfaces interact with humans to achieve their goals? What does software want? In this talk I will present an overview of my recent research questions around this topic and the resulting artworks I have generated in response. Ben Grosser is an artist and a composer, and is currently an MFA Candidate in New Media in the School of Art+Design at UIUC. Previously he was the Director of the Imaging Technology Group at the Beckman Institute. His artistic work has been covered widely in the online press, including articles on Boing Boing, the Make Blog, Engadget, Fast Company, and Discovery News. The Huffington Post recently said of his Interactive Robotic Painting Machine that "Grosser may have unknowingly birthed the apocalypse." The St. Louis Riverfront Times called his music "very loud and ugly." The purpose of the Beckman Institute Forum for Imaging and Visualization, held every Tuesday at noon, is to highlight/publicize imaging and visualization capabilities at the University; to feature the work of faculty who utilize those capabilities; and to serve as a locus from which new imaging and visualization modalities may be introduced to the University. The intent of the Forum is to convey information on imaging and/or visualization, weekly, to researchers from a wide swath of disciplines. Thus, a solid introduction to the pertinent principles should be provided before launching into difficult concepts. Please feel free to forward this announcement to anyone who may be interested.http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/117?eventId=16256129Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:00:00 GMThttp://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/117?eventId=14769586http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/117?eventId=14769586Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:00:00 GMThttp://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/117?eventId=12863676http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/117?eventId=12863676Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:30:00 GMThttp://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/117?eventId=15055181http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/117?eventId=15055181Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:00:00 GMThttp://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/117?eventId=9300258The Beckman Institute "Thursdays at 12:20 Concert Series" features performances by members of the University of Illinois School of Music.
