With speedy talks selected by the online audience, there's rarely a weak one -- and as with short film fests, a weak one is over pretty quick. I hope you'll check it out. <br> <div class="gmail_quote"><br><br> <div marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="background-color: rgb(28, 20, 13);"> <table style="background-color: rgb(28, 20, 13);" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center" valign="top"> <table style="border: 0px none rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-top: 10px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="550"><tbody><tr><td> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="550"> <tbody><tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(242, 233, 225); border-top: 0px none rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom: 0px none rgb(255, 204, 102); text-align: right; padding: 0px;" align="center"><div style="font-size: 10px; color: rgb(102, 51, 0); line-height: 200%; font-family: Verdana; text-decoration: none;"> Email not displaying correctly? <a href="http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=0abedd284168ca306384e3e10&id=e86c3a6b70&e=0316addd79" style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0); text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10px; line-height: 200%; font-family: Verdana;" target="_blank">View it in your browser.</a> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-top: 0px none rgb(51, 51, 51); border-bottom: 0px none rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0px;"><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://dmt.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0abedd284168ca306384e3e10&id=6ec5212bde&e=0316addd79" style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/0abedd284168ca306384e3e10/images/ignite_newmexico.2.png" alt="" style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" border="0" height="180" width="322"></a></div> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-top: 0px none rgb(51, 51, 51); border-bottom: 0px none rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0px;"><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;"> </div></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0" width="550"> <tbody><tr> <td style="font-size: 12px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 20px; border: 0px none rgb(255, 255, 255);" align="left" valign="top"><div> <br> <span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia;">Tonight at 7pm in ABQ.

On October 2-3, 2010, THATCamp will be held at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque. Don't miss it! For more information visit our website at <a href="http://www.thatcampnewmexico.org" target="_blank">www.thatcampnewmexico.org</a> <<a href="http://www.thatcampnewmexico.org/" target="_blank">http://www.thatcampnewmexico.org/</a>> .<br> <br> <br> What is THATCamp?<br> <br> <br> THATCamp (The Humanities and Technologies Camp) is an "unconference" where humanists and technologists meet to work together for the common good. An "unconference" is "a facilitated, participant-driven conference centered around a theme or purpose." Unconferences are not spectator events. Participants are involved from the schedule creation to the wrap-up session, and actively present, discuss, and collaborate with fellow participants.<br> <br> <br> Why THATCamp New Mexico?<br> <br> <br> New Mexico's rich heritage in the arts, culture, and sciences make it prime THATCamp territory. THATCamp New Mexico is the beginning of a new collaborative digital humanities community. We are a diverse group united in our commitment to the creative use of technology to communicate New Mexico's stories, from ancient times to the present, and to reconnect all New Mexicans to the spirit of innovation that spans our history from the oldest Clovis point through the development of the atomic bomb and the founding of Micro-soft.<br> <br> <br> No Suits, No Papers.What Do You do?<br> <br> <br> Show, tell, collaborate, share, and walk away inspired. Sessions at THATCamp New Mexico might range from software demos to training sessions to discussions of research findings. The thing you won't see is people standing up and reading full blown papers.<br> <br> Still a little unsure as to what you might want to propose? To get an idea of the scope of topics check out the blog for the original THATCamp <<a href="http://thatcamp.org/2009/blog/" target="_blank">http://thatcamp.org/2009/blog/</a>> or some of the regional camps (THATCamp Columbus <<a href="http://thatcampcolumbus.org/" target="_blank">http://thatcampcolumbus.org/</a>> , THATCamp Pacific Northwest <<a href="http://www.thatcamppnw.org/" target="_blank">http://www.thatcamppnw.org/</a>> , or THATCamp Austin <<a href="http://www.thatcampaustin.org/" target="_blank">http://www.thatcampaustin.org/</a>> ). Don't feel limited by these topics, however. Anything is fair game if it falls under the categories of humanities and technology, and impacts you, your organization, or the field of digital humanities.<br> <br> <br> How do I Register?<br> <br> <br> Easy! Just go to the Registration section of this website (<a href="http://www.thatcampnewmexico.org" target="_blank">www.thatcampnewmexico.org</a> <<a href="http://www.thatcampnewmexico.org/" target="_blank">http://www.thatcampnewmexico.org/</a>> ), fill in the form, and you are good to go. Unfortunately, we can only accept a max of 100 people, so we're going to have to do some vetting. If you've got any questions about applying, contact us. Deadline for submitting is September 3, 2010.<br> <br> Attendance at THATCamp New Mexico is free, however, a donation of $25 is requested from all attendees to cover meals, snacks, and supplies.<br> <br> <br> How Can I Help?<br> <br> <br> THATCamp New Mexico is participant run, and we're always looking for folks who are willing to help out. If you can volunteer some of your time, let us know when you register or contact Mimi Roberts <<a href="mailto:mimi.roberts@state.nm.us" target="_blank">mailto:mimi.roberts@state.nm.us</a>> for more info.<br> <br> THATCamp is being sponsored by NMHU's Media Arts Department, the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, and the New Mexico Association of Museums, but we are still in need of more sponsorships!

The Rio Grande SIGGRAPH Chapter's Open Reel Review series exists to help New Mexico's animators improve the content they present by providing feedback from real world pros about what works and what doesn't. This month's installation focuses on Character Animation. Whether you provide content of your own or just attend in listen in, this is an invaluable experience.<br> <br>NMCAC Gateways<br>The Open Reel Review series relies on the use of the NM Computing Application Center's statewide "Gateway" system.

<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div>Dear Friends & Colleagues,</div><div><br />
</div><div>I'm writing in support of the unique opportunity you'll find below: It's a wonderful program dedicated to fulldome-based professional development in computer graphics as well as data-based archeological and cultural studies. The presenting team, led by Kevin Cain, is an exceptional cast that have much to share with the fulldome producing community and the resources they're making available have great value in both production and research. If you saw Kevin's talk at DomeFest2007, you'll have an idea of how clear the communication will be and how exciting the work is. </div></blockquote><div><br />
</div></div>Because of the usual bandwidth issues, there's a limited number of 'live' connections available and we invite those of you interested in fulldome content (and the many related tools and techniques Kevin and his team will discuss) to attend with us here at ARTS Lab. The ARTS Lab will be hosting a group of interested participants here in our space (contact us at <a href="mailto:artslab@unm.edu">artslab@unm.edu</a> if you'd like to attend). If you'd be interested in hosting a group at another venue here in New Mexico, please let us know and we'll help make arrangements. <br />
<br />
The team here at ARTS Lab has had a great collaboration with Kevin and the folks at INSIGHT, and this is an excellent opportunity to take the continued success of NM-developed fulldome content even further. <br />

The full dome is highly immersive. As a format, full dome excels at presenting real-world places with great immediacy. But it's not simple to create realistic environments that hold up on the dome, especially for producers with limited budgets and experience. This session introduces a pipeline for capturing data from the real world for use in full dome media. 2D and 3D reality capture are discussed, drawing on examples of time-lapse panoramic photography and 3D laser scanning. While aimed at first-time dome producers, more experienced creators will also benefit.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Introduction to Data-Driven Full Dome Production II: Tech Walkthrough<br />
Noon-1pm<br />
</span></b><i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;">Kevin Cain, Mark Eakle, Todd Gill, Jun Nagaoka<br />
<br />
</span></i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;">This session expands the discussion of Session 1's data-driven production pipeline. We present a focused introduction to managing laser scan data in production, from initial capture through alignment, merging, surfacing, and painting. Particular attention is paid to techniques for editing, UV layout and texturing steps, as conventional approaches generally fail with dense data-driven geometry. This session is designed for full dome producers new to 3D reality capture techniques.<br />

Building Realistic Computer Graphics for the Full Dome<br />
3-4pm<br />
</span></b><i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;">Chris Bernal, Kevin Cain, Mark Eakle, Todd Gill, Ali Jamalzadeh<br />
</span></i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;"><br />
From the start, the lion's share of full dome media content has been supplied as rendered images from 3D computer graphics. Realism, long an object for CG images, is now becoming possible even with modest budgets. This session explores two practical ways to increase realism for full dome graphics: non-biased rendering of light, and efficient use of dome sampling in compositing. Using the Tales of the Maya Skies production as a basis, we present suggestions for managing the complexity of rendering with natural light while remaining practical and efficient. We also discuss new tools to optimize color reproduction on the dome for rendered images and present an automated system for processing renders for collaborative review.<br />

Introduction to Digital Cultural Heritage and Digital Capture Research<br />
11am-Noon<br />
</span></b><i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;">Kevin Cain, Mark Eakle, Greg Downing, Greg Ward<br />
<br />
</span></i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;">Archaeologists and art historians have been practicing digital field techniques for at least the past decade. However, the recent proliferation of good, cheap digital cameras and affordable processing power has enabled humanities researchers to take on more ambitious digital documentation projects. In this session we survey research from the worlds of computer graphics and computer vision, showing approaches that can be directly applied to cultural heritage work. We present the computer vision research for Tales of the Maya Skies as the core of our discussion, with emphasis placed on open source tools and off-the-shelf equipment that will work in the difficult field environments found at archaeological sites around the world.<br />

All of the data gathered on site at Chichen Itza, Mexico for Tales of the Maya Skies has been gathered into a public repository, which the team launches in this final session. Using archaeological case studies from the archive, we introduce this archive and the web application built to navigate it. The archive tools are themselves available for download; in this session, we walk through the steps to build your own humanities 'data dashboard'.<br />

The relation of sonification to program and experimental music is discussed and works by Iannis Xenakis, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage and Alvin Lucier are briefly introduced. The paper leads to a discussion of the connection between sonification and romanticism, where the desire is to directly evoke an understanding of natural phenomena.<br><br> Volker Straebel (1969) is a musicologist focusing on electro-acoustic music, the American and European avant-garde, intermedia, performance and sound art.

<blockquote>“...an improvisational approach that operates on the foamy crest of an ever-unfurling present”<br />
(Santa Fe Reporter) </blockquote>Nakatani / Weaver / Balistreri Trio was formed in 2007 in performance at the (now defunct) Blue Dragon in Albuquerque while Tatsuya Nakatani was on tour across the country, playing solos and collaborations with with local musicians as he traveled - such as the Albuquerque improvised music duo of Mark Weaver and Mike Balistreri. Finding that they shared similar approaches to space, sound and environment, the trio stayed in communication, and reconvened for well-received performances at the Outpost Performance Space (2008) in Albuquerque, the College of Santa Fe (2008), at The Agency (2009) in Albuquerque, and at Santa Fe Complex (2009).<br />
<br />
Tatsuya Nakatani (percussion) is originally from Osaka, Japan. In 2006 he performed in 80 cities in 7 countries and collaborated with 163 artists worldwide. In the past 10 years he has released nearly fifty of his own recordings on CD.<br />
<br />
Nakatani has created his own instrumentation, effectively inventing many instruments and extended techniques. He utilizes drumset, bowed gongs, cymbals, singing bowls, metal objects, bells, and various sticks and bows to create an intense, organic music that defies category or genre. His music is based in improvised/ experimental music, jazz, free jazz, rock, and noise, yet retains the sense of space and beauty found in traditional Japanese folk music.<br />
<br />
In addition to live solo and ensemble performances, Nakatani works as a sound designer for film and television. He also teaches Master Classes and Workshops at the university level and heads H&H Production, an independent record label and recording studio based in Easton, Pennsylvania. He has been selected as a performing artist for the Pennsylvania Performing Artist on Tour (PennPat) roster, and is a Bronx Arts Council Individual Artist grant recipient. <br />

The group meets on a monthly basis where each workshop begins with a 10 min presentation by the expert outlining the current challenge and solution, if applicable, followed by a collaborative workshop where the audience learns how to resolve the challenge with the help of the expert and/or participates in solving the problem at hand. Taking an agnostic approach to the development tools & frameworks, the XD Group embraces open-source frameworks (openFrameworks, Cinder, processing, HYPE, RhinoScript, etc.) that can be leveraged over time and across multiple mediums, platforms, surfaces and machines. </font></div> <div><font color="#413f3d">* /</font></div><div><br></div><div><b><font color="#e94045">Dr. Woohoo!<br><br></font></b></div><div><font color="#413f3d">aim:</font><span style="white-space: pre;"><font color="#413f3d"> </font></span><font color="#413f3d">drw00h00</font></div> <div><font color="#413f3d">skype:</font><span style="white-space: pre;"><font color="#413f3d"> </font></span><font color="#413f3d">drwoohoo</font></div><div><font color="#413f3d">twitter:</font><span style="white-space: pre;"><font color="#413f3d"> <a href="http://twitter.com/drwoohoo" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/drwoohoo</a></font></span></div> <div><br></div></span></div><br> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16645669.post-37087224582773907502010-05-06T09:12:00.000-07:002010-05-06T09:13:16.612-07:00IFDM Student Showcase Tomorrow!<div class="gmail_quote"><br> We invite you to attend the Interdisciplinary Film & Digital Media student showcase where students will present their creative works, from this spring semester, in a variety of new and emerging technologies.<br> <br> Date: May 8th<br> Time: 11am-3pm<br> Location: UNM ARTS Lab (northwest corner of University and Central)<br> IFDM is providing lunch.<br><font color="#888888"> <br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#888888"><br></font></font></font></div> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16645669.post-16868807808561054112010-04-28T09:35:00.000-07:002010-04-28T09:36:19.280-07:00Digital Lunch this Friday CANCELLED<br>We regret to inform everyone that this Friday's Digital Lunch on Game Development ("The Citizen Kane of Video Games") is canceled due to illness.<br><br>We hope to reschedule soon!<br><br><br> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16645669.post-47018738470144145622010-04-26T08:45:00.000-07:002010-04-26T08:46:14.028-07:00Digital Lunch @ UNM - The "Citizen Kane" of Video Games<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qQ9YpEX0k0U/S9W0vTInOYI/AAAAAAAAAjo/Njf3nlqpanc/s1600/citizenkane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qQ9YpEX0k0U/S9W0vTInOYI/AAAAAAAAAjo/Njf3nlqpanc/s320/citizenkane.jpg" /></a></div><h3 class="UIIntentionalStory_Message" data-ft="{"type":"msg"}" style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span class="UIStory_Message">There's been much recent (and ongoing) discussion about whether games can compare with some of our truly classic movies, with critics like Roger Ebert saying video games will never have an achievement like "Citizen Kane". </span></h3><h3 class="UIIntentionalStory_Message" data-ft="{"type":"msg"}" style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span class="UIStory_Message">Local Game Developer Hunter R.

This event features a performance by The Chuppers, a showing of specially selected content in ARTS Lab’s fulldome theater, the “GDome”, and a few other treats. The Chuppers grew out of UNM’s Electric Ensemble, a collaboration between UNM’s Music Department, Ubik Sound and the Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media Program (IFDM). Facilitated by Manny Rettinger, the group creates musical instruments called “chuppers” which combine old and new technology, including audio processors, speakers, computers, microphones, cameras, traditional and non-traditional instruments, projectors and more.</span><br />

Film, the WWW, and television now contain significant amounts of animated content. Despite the prevalence of animated content, few scholars have begun to explore the cultural, epistemic, and phenomenological dimensions of animated experience. This talk will focus on one specific component of animation, the differential manipulation of layered surfaces, in order to deepen an understanding of why animation is so useful for depicting change over time. An exploration of the animations of William Kentridge and Stephanie Maxwell, will help us understand why some animations seem to posses an extraordinarily amount of vitality, the feeling of the potential for change even if nothing really changes. We will then see how the emerging science of evolutionary and developmental biology uses this sense of vitality to depict the development of living organisms.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

ABOUT END to END GAME DEVELOPMENT<br />
<span class="Default__Char" style="text-decoration: none;"><i>End to End Game Development</i></span> published by Focal Press is a handbook for the conceptualizing, development, production and distribution of serious games, simulations, and other interactive media projects. This presentation by the co-author will provide an overview of key areas the book covers including: why game aesthetics, mechanics and technology are the next logical step for all kinds of training and persuasion; how serious game production is within the reach of indie "garage game" developers and corporate departments; and ways to create feedback loops between solid game design and solid instructional design.
