“In this course you will learn about how the visual system works. We will follow the representation of a visual stimulus along the pathway from the retina through the geniculate and on to the visual areas in the cortex. You will learn how the way we perceive lightness, contrast, color, motion, depth, faces and objects are reflected in the neurophysiological responses at each stage in the visual pathway. Student learning goals”

Behaviourist Art and the Cybernetic Vision

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 12:20:00 -0400

“At this early stage of a radically new culture, the artist is doing little more than explore his new relationship to the spectator. He is searching for new ways of handling ideas, for more flexible and adaptive structures to contain them; he is attempting to generate new carrier-waves for the modulations of contemporary experience; and he is searching the resources of technology to expand his repertoire of skills. His concern is to affirm that dialogue is possible-that is the content and the message of art now; and that is why, seen from the deterministic point of view, art may seem devoid of content and the artist to have nothing to say. The modern means of i, of feedback and viable interplay-these are the content of art. The artist’s message is that the extension of creative behaviour into everyday experience is possible.”

Roy Ascott, 1966

“This one’s a bit morbid, but the technology behind it all is actually quite interesting. Japan’s own Nichiryoku has evidently created a unique urn retrieval system that enables family members with deceased loved ones to return to a reverent storage facility, swipe an RFID card, and watch their late mother / father / etc. emerge from the underground for viewing. Aside from saving space and money, this also provides mourning kin with a sense of security, as we’re told that the urns are kept where even minor acts of God won’t disturb them.”

“Further investigation into 3D visualization for experimental artists. Building on foundations established in 3 Space 1 & 2, methods are introduced for orchestrating movement including deformation, dynamics, and rigging. Techniques such as particle systems, simulation, and scripting are also covered, giving students experience using advanced tools for envisioning and creating original artwork.”
