| New Musical
Expression.
As music transforms from being the art of
notes to being the art of sound, the computer becomes central because
no other instrument is theoretically
capable of mapping arbitrary behaviors and data streams to arbitrary
sounds. New relationships are being explored between
audiences, performers, instruments, composers and music. |
Affiliation- We are closely affiliated with the
Center
for the Arts at NUS. Besides being responsible for the arts
activity at the University
Cultural Center, running the NUS museums and organizing
many student groups in Dance, Music, and
other arts. The CFA
also plans to host our Lab space.

| Media
Creativity Tools.
Emerging artistic genres require the development of suitable tools and
systems to support creative "authoring" - whether the authoring is done
by human beings, autonomous machines, or by people and machines in
real-time creative collaboration. |
Arts and Creativity Lab Space - Still new and
only virtual, we are planning space for the Lab the 3rd floor mezzanine
of the University Cultural Center. Here is a visualization of the space
and a description of available resources.
|
| Understanding Aesthetic Experience. What do "new media" modes of expression, new types of engagement between creators and consumers of art, and new tools for artistic creation mean for the experience of art? We investigate the issues using a variety of behavioral and brain imaging techniques. |
Visiting Artists - Through a variety of avenues
(ISEA 2008
Artists-in-Residences, collaborations, visiting appointments), we
make resources available to artists. Potential resources include IDMI technologies,
CFA student arts groups (subject to exam and vacation schedules!), and
the wonderful
collection of South and South East Asian artifacts owned by the NUS
Museums.
|
| Artist Studio. At
the core of our research is the actual practice of the arts. |
Activities - We support artists,
researchers and students in the creation of media art and technology.
We also host seminars and workshops.
