Intelligent Environments. Research and Experiments in Interactive Cinema

Imagine entering a room, walking up to a wall and requesting information about the Moon. Via voice, audio-visual and tactile devices, this system supplies a 3D map of the region, questions (speaking with the user, of course) if the output generated is the requested information and interprets the interactor’s gestures in real time. This scenario is one of the capabilities proposed in this study. The objective is to investigate different technologies and explore artistic and scientific strategies to develop new models of interfaces for cinema.

Lucas Bambozzi (br)

On Mobile Crash

Merging a critical and an artistic approach the paper describes the project Mobile Crash, which deals with the fast deterioration found in the technological trends and devices, driven by consumerism and fetishisation led by market strategies. Addressing the current instability of mobile media capabilities, the text discusses the fragility of current languages involved in the recent image production, exposing an anachronistic side of the technological media in times of mobility and planned obsolescence.

Lucas Bambozzi is an artist producing works in a range of formats such as video, installation and interactive environment. His works have been shown in solo and collective exhibitions in more than 40 countries. Beside his artistic work he is the curator of the arte.mov Mobile Art Festival.
