Primary and Other Remote Locations
Minor Correction:
Primary and Other Remote Locations
Algorithmic pattern-matching of the landscape (utilizing the C5
Landscape Database) on Lemay Island and the Silver Island Mountains, Box
Elder County UT, Aug 12th-15th, 2K5.
For "Primary and Other Remote Locations", the South East corner the
Center for Land Use Interpretation's Remote Location property on Lemay
Island was used as an input point.
A database containing topographical data for the surrounding area
(including Lemay Island, Floating Island and the Silver Island mountain
range which includes Crater Island) was searched, seeking points with
similar topographical characteristics. The database search isolated five
topographical others of the CLUI Remote Location; or as we call them,
the "Other Remote Locations".
The "Other Remote Locations" were visited with the help of GPS, four
wheel drive, a[nd] hiking. The sites were documented, with the primary
goal of producing landscape paintings in which agency of site selection,
often assumed to be the natural province of the painter, is turned over
to the algorithm and the data; digesting the landscape data through
pattern matching, and allowing the data to tell us where to go.

Time Based Performance And Screenings from the Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts Major
Wednesday, June 1, 2005, 5-7 PM
CRCA Research Lab, EBU1/6501
University of California San Diego
Co hosted by the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts, and the UCSD departments of Music and Visual Arts.
Presenting:
Kasey Wallrath
Primitive ceremonial drums from India are infused in a digital medium to create a new synthesis of meaning in classical from as well as electronica form.
John Patrick McDaniel
An interactive multi-angle surround sound solo drum kit composition performed by Morris Palter involving multiple audio perspectives conveyed through the medium of DVD.
Nirvana Singh
CD with 11 tracks, I wrote and composed lyrics and score of all tracks.
ICAM 120 class project - http://www.oddition.com
James Lin, Christina Lee and Mike Rossmassler
Oddition is a 3D environment in which odd characters are practicing for roles in video games. The environment is non-interactive though, so viewers can only watch as the video game rejects go through regular video game animations outside the context of their respective video games.

In the same way that ironical Pop Art came down with both feet onto humorless Abstract Expressionism, the Gaming Response Research Faction's game creation & presentation is our modest antidote to the glazed expectations of a game-savvy audience (which we can assume any group of 18-24 year-olds to be). We incorporate a terminology completely familiar to them, and yet give them precisely nothing of what they are expecting.
Christina Kelly
http://sdcc21.ucsd.edu/~cmkelly/nobodies.mov
An adaptation of the short story "Excursion in the Forest" by Franz Kafka, using stop-motion animation.
Patrick Ryan
Sublime Reality
My project is a musical piece, done in surround sound, that evokes the sublime realization. The project brings the listener into a surreal environment of a forest, which leads to destruction, sorrow, and realization of most forests of the present day. The project is constructed of four movements and the entire run time is 25 minutes.
Michael Dantzig
Enivrez-Vous!
A tape piece
Poetry and wine - no less than revolution - are 'utopian' expressions of human desire; they are all forms of revolt against the limitations and miseries of the Real, challenges issued by the human imagination to 'un monde o— l'action n'est pas la soeur du rˆve'. Wine, poetry, and the collective action of the crowd all generate a particular form of 'ivresse' that negates things as they are and awakens the vision of a Promised Land in which all human longings would at last be satisfied. (R.D.E. Burton, Baudelaire and the Second Republic: Writing and Revolution).
And mabye others...

Kansas looks at redefining science
Of course, what Kansas is doing is laughable and/or pitiable. But one
thing that strikes me as interesting is that the Kansas school board is
seeking to replace the definition of science with one that is very much
like a definition of much contemporary art practice...
TOPEKA, Kansas (AP) -- The Kansas school board's hearings on evolution
were not limited to how the theory should be taught in public schools.
The board is considering redefining science itself.
Advocates of "intelligent design" are pushing the board to reject a
definition limiting science to natural explanations for what's observed
in the world.
Instead, they want to define it as "a systematic method of continuing
investigation," without specifying what kind of answer is being sought.
The definition would appear in the introduction to the state's science
standards.
...
Evolution defenders scoff at the notion.
"In order to live in this science-dominated world, you have to be able
to discriminate between science and non-science," said Alan Leshner of
the American Association for the Advancement of Science. "They want to
rewrite the rules of science."
