Facial Hacking in Technarte

At Technarte’s last edition, the Dutch artist and facial hacker Arthur Elsennaar was awarded with the Best Speaker Award because of his artistic technological performance “Perfect Paul: On freedom on facial expression”. Arthur Elsennaar researches the choreographical capabilities of the computer-controlled human face, which challenges the traditional notion of facial expression as a conveyor of emotion and aims to develop a choreographical facial language

His project investigates the computer-controlled human face as a medium for kinetic art and develops algorithms for facial choreography. Small precisely controlled electrical impulses are employed to trigger the facial muscles of a live human person into rendering involuntary expressions. As the human face is controlled by a digital computer instead of a neural brain, it can be made to perform in unexpected ways, bringing together dance and technology in the most direct way imaginable. Are we able of communicating something verbally while our face transmits the opposite? With facial hacking it is possible.

Perfect Paul allows more stable control of facial gestures, breaks the limits of human control and discover an unknown potential in human expression through hardware and software. As the human face has gotten willingly programmed, could we say metaphorically that freedom of facial expression has been reached or, in the other hand, this control transgresses the limits of human freedom?

Technarte brings together every year in Bilbao a score of artists and technologist like Arthur Elsenaar, who present during the conference innovative artistic-technology projects, related to disciplines like virtual reality, art and robotics, interactive architecture, and any other artistic disciplines emerged of the union of art and technology.

image001

 

The Lumen Prize Exhibition will start travelling the world in January 2013, appearing in top venues around the globe. The tour kicks off in London’s Gallery 27, Cork Street, London W1S 3NG. The gallery will be open to the public on Tuesday 22 January from 7pm- 10 pm and on Wednesday 23 – Saturday 26 January from 10 am – 6 pm.

On display will be the works of Lumen Prize winners, the Exhibition 50 and the People’s Choice winner. The shortlisted works of digitally created fine art will be displayed on large-scale screens and projectors, available for members of the public to buy and to browse.

The Lumen Prize aims to promote digital fine art globally. The work will also be featured in galleries in Latvia, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, as part of the worldwide tour.

“The Royal Academy’s recent David Hockney exhibition was mobbed, showing how people love art created on screen as much as on canvas,” says Lumen CEO, Carla Rapoport.

The contest has been organized by a group of professionals with experience from British Museum, Sotheby’s Institute of Art, New York University, the National Portrait Gallery, The Financial Times and includes Lord Stevenson, former Chancellor of the University of the Arts. The Jury Panel includes Gordon Young, prize-winning UK artist and Ivor Davies, President of the Royal Cambrian Academy. The prize receives support from Cardiff city council.

Proceeds from the competition, after costs, are being donated to support the vital work of Peace Direct, a global charity that supports local peacebuilders in conflict zones worldwide.

logo

320Reality is a contest that will bring people together in a forum where they can propose inspiring, sustainable and practical solutions. All citizens of the world are encouraged to participate in the 320Reality contest. And language barriers needn’t stand in the way. You can pitch your idea in English, Arabic or Turkish.

Big solutions don’t just come from big organizations. Social entrepreneurs like  you can and do make a difference. Because of that, we’re sponsoring a contest and inviting you to take part. If you’re chosen as the contest winner, here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Monetary prizes of more than $35,000
  • Professional support to help give your idea a firm footing and make a genuine impact
  • A gala event in Long Beach, California with international media and celebrities present to hear your ideas, that will position you as an expert and connect you with top influencers.

 

How it will work: Social entrepreneurs from around the world are invited to submit three-minute videos of their best ideas for sustainable development and bridging communication barriers in the Middle East. The online community will vote on these ideas and choose the most compelling. Winners of the first round will be invited to submit follow-up videos to further flesh out their proposals. The online community and a panel of judges will collaboratively choose six finalists who will be invited to attend PeaceMidan’s first international conference in Long Beach, Calif., in September 2013. The six finalists will pitch their ideas at the conference in 20-minute presentations. Three winners will receive financial and professional support to turn their ideas into reality.
