[éclairage] Visualiser les données provenant des médias visuels, soit des informations extraites de productions graphiques (photographies numériques, design graphique ou clips vidéo, etc.) souligne la nécessité d’adopter un point de vue multidisciplinaire face aux images-interfaces. Cet article identifie plusieurs pistes intéressantes pour de futurs travaux.
Cultural Analytics (C.A.) is an approach for analyzing media and digital culture using data methods and visual computing techniques. This article explores the aesthetic value of C.A. by approaching cultural visualizations as digital artworks. The authors present a variety of techniques developed since 2007 by members of the C.A. lab for creating visualizations of media artifacts and collections of images. Through a series of projects conducted by them, the authors discuss the artistic meaning of media visualizations and their experience in art exhibitions, workshops and seminars.
Our common interaction with media based on motion, time and screen, such as cinema, television, video and animation, is built on the depiction of visual images one after another: the same visual space is rewritten continuously. Throughout history there have been alternative methods for interacting with a sequence of frames. Pioneering techniques like chronophotography and cyclography shared the same interests of recent artworks and scientific visualizations in capturing, tracing and representing movement in space. In this article, we introduce an experimental approach to represent video artworks as 3D models in virtual environments. Our aim is to contribute to the possibilities offered by contemporary computing techniques to explore alternative ways of interacting with motion media.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
