Project: Iconikit

Iconikit is an online profile builder that plays with the reductive nature of data capture in form filling with what you might call creative statistics.

I think it would be a fun way to enrol visitors for espacioenter and could give a geo spread of visiotrs profiles, see http://iconikit.com/dev/map2.html for a geo spread of Y&YW audience.

Iconikit has enabled the commisoning organisation You & Your Work to build up a collective online portrait of it's audience members and their individual relationship to performance.

Forms by their very nature are limited and try to reduce complexity into byte sized chunks that are manageable. This can be challenged as in the 2001 England and Wales census when 390,127 people declared their religion to be Jedi. I would like to find even more ways for people to create a definition of themselves.

One of the most common form questions is ‘Are you male or female?’ But what if there are more than two sexes? What if as Anne Fausto-Sterling suggests “In The Five Sexes: Why Male and Female Are Not Enough” that there could be five choices, male, female and three intersexes - herms. merms and ferms. What if we had more choice to be and experiment with what we’d like to be?

		Kay Malek Bochum. Germany http://www.vimeo.com/23448479 Project: MEMORY PROJECTION #001 The Memory Projections by Kay Malek are conceptionally positioned between physical existence and virtual simulation. In essence a digital memory pattern is formulated that change and develop through interaction with itself without any influence from outside. Rather than being virtual simulation this digital pattern describes an autonomous conception of digital reality defined by formless existence in the closed space of computer memory and its own definition of corporality perceptible as graphical representation of inner states. Developed as digital universes with no defined ending, each work represents a certain state in the research of using digital memory as material for creating conceptions of autonomous realities beyond the principles of physical existence. tag: artificial life

		Mauro Ceolin Milan. Italy http://www.facebook.com/contemporaryNaturalism?ref=ts Project: Contemporary Naturalism AlphaTaxonomy ContemporaryNaturalism (CN) Hypotheses for a collective imaginary's biology ContemporaryNaturalism (CN) focuses on something that exists but hasn’t been systematically described yet... CN is an advanced research project, which fluctuates between art and science... CN wants to identify itself in a complex of related activities oriented to develop a system of connected identities, which can describe the permeation of the collective imaginary into the real and/or tangible sphere of the living world. This project is considered “seminal” because it does not aspire to be definitive, but wants to outline some paths that can be subsequently developed and brought to an end. CN study will be based on the current interaction between humans, as biological animated forms, and computer animated forms that are created by humans to resemble life, thereafter called “silicon based life”. Thus CN supports the redefinition of the concept of life: the project will draw upon experiences embracing the research on artificial intelligence, cybernetics and science fiction. The word "ContemporaryNaturalism" is derived from the words Contemporary, or, "in generic sense, living, occurring, or existing” at the electric or electronic time , and, Naturalism, or "an empirical method of study”. tag: artificial life

		Rui Filipe Antunes London. UK http://www.pikiproductions.com/rui/halley/halley.html Project: Halley's series Departing from the colors and dimensions of the digital representations of Peter Halleys paintings, an ecosystem of pixels reinvents its imagery. Taking as a starting point Borges &rsquo s Library of Babel -a vast library containing all possible 410-page books of a certain format-, we can extend this idea and imagine all the possible stories that we can tell using the words from an initial book. To produce the equivalent exercise with an image, we have to explore all the combinatory compositions we can produce using the pixels from an initial image. All the possible images produced only by changing pixels positions. On this series, depending on its initial light and color, each pixel is determined to be a living agent or simply a nutrient. With their limited artificial intelligence, the agents will move through the image producing new images, a part of the previously referred domain of possibilities. tag: generative arts
