Street Photography Reframed

Simulation reframed

Background Simulation is firmly established as a mainstay of clinical education, and extensive research has demonstrated its value. Current practice uses inanimate simulators (with a range of complexity, sophistication and cost) to address the patient 'as body' and trained actors or lay people (Simulated Patients) to address the patient 'as person'. These approaches are often separate.Healthcar...

Consciousness Reframed , Making Reality Really Real

How does a plastic artist go beyond superficial appearance in search of a more fundamental reality? I summarise my thinking and practice as a praxis, a ‘practice based metaphysics’. My ‘open sculptural systems’, multi-component contextually responsive sculpture-kits can...

Computational Photography: Epsilon to Coded Photography

Computational photography combines plentiful computing, digital sensors, modern optics, actuators, and smart lights to escape the limitations of traditional cameras, enables novel imaging applications and simplifies many computer vision tasks. However, a majority of current Computational photography methods involves taking multiple sequential photos by changing scene parameters and fusing the p...

Consciousness Reframed III Sensual Communication in Hybrid Reality

This paper focuses on the potential applications of hybrid reality in the cultural sphere, where media and technologies can be used for multisensory stimulation and interaction. We investigate the capacity of hybrid spaces to incite alternative states of consciousness, similar to what mystics, alchemists and shamans describe as a journey towards rapture (a state of overwhelming emotion). The tw...
