Glocal multimedia art

Glocal Multimedia Retrieval

Personal experience is intrinsically local while common knowledge is global. As a consequence, standard multimedia search engines suffer from a gap between local content and global concept, due to the diversity of context. Here we design a new multimedia retrieval system which integrates local diversity into an evolving global knowledge. A suitable personalization of global ontologies allows to...

The Glocal Forest

Spatial ecological patterns reflect the underlying processes that shape the structure of species and communities. Mechanisms like intra- and inter-specific competition, dispersal and host-pathogen interactions can act over a wide range of scales. Yet, the inference of such processes from patterns is a challenging task. Here we call attention to a quite unexpected phenomenon in the extensively s...

Biosensorfusion: New Interfaces for Interactive Multimedia Art

This paper is intended as an investigation of some new interfaces for computer music and interactive multimedia art. We have been producing many sensors, interfaces and interactive systems for computer music, composing many works and presenting some performances as applications of our research. Now in this study the main stress falls on "soft connections" with human performers, not using mechan...
