revista V!RUS

O número 05 da revista V!RUS propõe como tema a revisitação de conceitos relacionados ao habitar, compreendendo o cotidiano urbano e os lugares nos quais ele se desenvolve. Tais conceitos foram o ponto de partida da criação do Nomads.usp, cujo nome era, em sua formulação inicial, Núcleo de Estudos sobre Habitação e Modos de Vida. Ao longo de seus dez anos de existência, o núcleo foi ampliando e complexizando seus estudos sobre essa relação entre espaços e comportamentos, passando a incluir processos de comunicação, que têm o potencial de tornar híbridos os espaços físicos da habitação e da cidade.

O tema "lugares do habitar: revisited" expressa um tripé no qual apoiamos a reflexão proposta. Por um lado, a noção de lugar envolve espacialidades físicas, híbridas e virtuais vinculadas ao desenrolar da vida cotidiana das pessoas. Por outro, o verbo habitar utilizado como substantivo permite abranger o caráter de imprevisibilidade e não-determinismo, de diversidade e mobilidade, que reveste os atos humanos. Por fim, revisitar esses conceitos significa lançar sobre eles um olhar agora re-orientado por posturas teóricas que foram se tornando importantes no Nomads.usp ao longo dos anos: o pensamento complexo, a teoria cibernética de segunda ordem, os estudos sobre experiência, por exemplo.

O foco da edição é absolutamente contemporâneo, procurando examinar, na atualidade, posturas, reflexões, críticas, registros e proposições relacionados com as atuais concepções de lugares do habitar, no Brasil e no mundo. Busca-se, assim, construir uma visão sobre produtos de ações públicas, privadas ou mistas, em todas as suas formas de produção e uso, inseridos em contexto urbano.

São bem-vindas contribuições que ofereçam explorações da temática central, como aportes advindos das ciências sociais, das artes, da música, da filosofia, dos estudos populacionais, do direito, das ciências médicas, das políticas públicas, dos estudos sobre sustentabilidade sócio-ambiental, sobre domótica e a automação do cotidiano, sobre a qualidade dos produtos imobiliários nas grandes cidades, além das abordagens próprias à arquitetura, ao urbanismo e ao design.

Visando aprofundar a exploração desse assunto, preferimos excluir dessa chamada os processos de projeto, suas linguagens, métodos, meios e ferramentas, os estudos de cunho histórico que abordem períodos passados sem conexão direta com realidades atuais, e os estudos sobre espacialidades e vivências existentes unicamente em ambientes digitais.

Além de textos e imagens fixas, são bem-vindos peças musicais e depoimentos em arquivos de áudio, projetos de arquitetura, urbanismo e design e a reflexão crítica sobre sua concepção, vídeos e filmes curtos, apresentações de slides, animações, entrevistas, considerando o interesse do Nomads.usp em explorar as possibilidades de uso de meios digitais para divulgação científica.

As contribuições serão recebidas através do site da revista até o dia 28 de fevereiro de 2011, segundo as diretrizes para autores, disponíveis em www.nomads.usp.br/virus/submissao_submission.php.

The International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media

Call for Papers The International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media (IJPADM) is seeking contributions to a special issue specifically relating to Mixed Reality and Performance.


Issue Editor: Alan Chamberlain (Mixed Reality Lab - University of Nottingham)

You are invited to submit full journal papers to the International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media (IJPADM) for a special issue on Mixed Reality and Performance. Mixed Reality performances have highlighted our ability to: exist, understand and concurrently engage with both virtual and real worlds in a performative way. The development of the technologies under-pinning such Mixed Reality systems have afforded performers, directors and developers the chance to create experiences that can both spatially and temporally explore the boundaries of performance and understand where and why performance occurs in everyday life. These experiences can exist in a multitude of realities, that not only blur the boundary between the real and the virtual, but also re-define the distinction between the roles of audience and performer, creating new audience/performer-based paradigms.

Although new technologies have furthered these possibilities, there are low-tech approaches that have explored the orchestration and directions of performance and used these mechanisms to convey experience, imbue presence and a sense of place.

Contributions may consider any of the following topics (although these are not prescriptive): full-length articles (ideally between 5000 and 8000 words)

*

Exploring temporality and spatiality
*

Understanding new audience/performer-based paradigms
*

Directing and orchestrating mixed reality experiences
*

Mixing realities *

Presence and place
*

Content creation and development for mixed reality experiences
*

Case studies
*

Archival representation and re-play

Deadlines for the issue are as follows:

- Submission Deadline 1st June 2010

Submissions should be emailed to: azc@cs.nott.ac.uk

3rd International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling

*** ICIDS 2010 ***

01-03 November 2010, Edinburgh, UK
http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/icids2010

Submission Deadline: June 14, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------

The advent of interactive graphical systems lays the basis for a new mode of
story-telling realized as
Interactive Digital Storytelling (IDS), applicable to interactive
entertainment, computer games,
education, therapy and other interactive digital applications. It raises
opportunities and addresses
challenges for redefining the experience of narrative through interactive
simulations of computer-
generated story worlds.

IDS thus offers interesting new possibilities for games, training, and
learning, through the enriching of
virtual characters with intelligent behavior, the collaboration of humans
and machines in the creative
process, and the combination of narrative knowledge and user activity in
interactive artifacts. In order
to create novel applications, in which users play a significant role
together with digital characters and
other autonomous elements, new concepts for Human-Computer Interaction have
to be developed.
Novel conceptions from theoretical work in the Humanities and interactive
art must also be
incorporated.

IDS draws on many aspects of Computer Science, and specifically on
Artificial Intelligence, with topics
such as narrative intelligence, automatic dialogue- and drama
management, cognitive robotics and smart graphics. In order to process
stories in real time, existing
modes of storytelling must be formalized into computable models, combining
ideas from narratology
with computer programming. This has so far resulted in a technological
complexity largely inaccessible
to potential creators of IDS and end-users. There is therefore a need for
new authoring concepts and
tools supporting the creation of dynamic story models, allowing for rich and
meaningful interaction
with the content. Finally, there is a need for theoretical foundations
considering the integration of so
far disjunctive approaches and cultures.

We welcome research papers, case studies and demonstrations ­ including
interactive narrative art -
presenting new scientific results, innovative technologies, creative
insights, best practice showcases, or
improvements to existing techniques and approaches in the multidisciplinary
research field of
interactive digital storytelling and its related application areas, e.g.
games, virtual/online worlds, e-
learning, edutainment, and entertainment.

Suggested research topics for contributions include, but are not limited to:

* Interactive Storytelling Theory
* Virtual Characters and Agents
* Environments and Graphical Effects
* Interactive Cinematography
* Design of Sound Interactivity
* Story Generation and Drama Management
* New Authoring Modes
* Narrativity in Digital Games
* Mixed Realities and Mobiles
* Tools for Interactive Storytelling
* Emotion Design for Interactive Storytelling
* Non-Visual Senses for Interactive Storytelling
* Social and Cognitive Approaches for Interactive Storytelling
* Semantic knowledge for Interactive Storytelling
* Real-time techniques for Interactive Storytelling
* Collaborative environments for Interactive Storytelling
* Evaluation and user experience reports
* Case studies and demonstrations

Places & Spaces: Mapping Science

Places & Spaces: Mapping Science is meant to inspire cross-disciplinary
discussion on how to best track and communicate human activity and
scientific progress on a global scale. It has two components: the physical
part supports the close inspection of high quality reproductions of maps for
display at conferences and education centers; the online counterpart
provides links to a selected series of maps and their makers along with
detailed explanations of how these maps work. The exhibit is a 10-year
effort. Each year, 10 new maps are added resulting in 100 maps total in
2014.
