This exhibition presents a Mixed Reality experience that applies basic research to the media industries of entertainment, training and informal education. Contributing areas of research include tracking, registration, rendering, real-time and distributed algorithms, and adaptations of existing as well as the creation of new forms of artistic convention.

Observing that the creation of certain types of artistic artifacts necessitate intelligence, we present the Lovelace 2.0 Test of creativity as an alternative to the Turing Test as a means of determining whether an agent is intelligent. The Lovelace 2.0 Test builds off prior tests of creativity and additionally provides a means of directly comparing the relative intelligence of different agents.

We present an algorithm that provides artistic control of the rendering of intersections between two triangle meshes. We detect the intersection edges using an octree, and then seamlessly subdivide both meshes at and around the intersection edges to allow local geometry morphing and creation of transition texture bands.

Time Bracketing is a novel technique to photographically depict a time-varying space or object in a single image without spatial distortion or fragmentation. The approach attempts to strike a balance between procedural generation and manual composition as well as between faithful depiction and digital manipulation. It also enables the clear representation of both dynamic and static scene elemen...

this paper explores cultural policy making during jack lang’s ministry (1988-1993, 1981-1986) with emphasis on factors which enabled the cultural ministry to achieve maturity and especially acceleration in modernization in accordance with previous attempts by former ministers such as andré malraux. the field of dram (theater, cinema) is undoubtedly an indicator of the following process by jack ...
