AlloBrain@AlloSphere Project

Marcos Novak’s ongoing AlloBrain@AlloSphere project investigates the neurophysiological basis of aesthetic appreciation while at the same time seeking to merge scientific research with avantgarde artistic production

Shaping Forms series

We can consider the artwork and the audience as interacting systems that influence one another. We can think of the influence that such systems will have on their audiences. We therefore need to consider computational generative art in open systems terms from the very core of their design.

Sui Generis

Practices in digital media culture are no longer limited to screen-based, audiovisual and interactive media content. These practices address the wider social, urban and global context of the information environment,through new types of process-based, networked projects and genres.

The Hybrid Invention Generator

The Hybrid Invention Generator provides an environment for rich associative and contemplative activity surrounding the notion of invention….the combination and recombination of evocative digital fields of meaning that a new form of poetics called Recombinant Poetics can be explored
