ABSTRACT
By using parameterization methods which model the knowledge space of a social or cognitive process, it is possible to use artificial intelligence techniques such as Neural Networks and Genetic Programming to create new types of visualization, creation, search and expression for a range of digital media. Steve DiPaola will discuss and demonstrate his research in cognitive 3D and 2D graphics, AI and simulation work, including real-time voice- and behavior-based 3D facial communication, simulated critters (an interacting group of whales) and creative exploration over optimized search as well as cognitively-based computational photography and music. (See ivizlab.sfu.ca).
Speaker: Steve DiPaola
Artist and scientist Steve DiPaola is a professor at Simon Frazier University.
He directs iVizLab, which strives to make interactive and simulation
systems bend more to the human experience by incorporating biological and
cognitive models. He came to SFU from Stanford and NYIT CGL and has
held leadership positions at Electronic Arts, Saatchi Innovation and
Silicon Valley start-ups. His art has been exhibited internationally, at
venues including the AIR and Tibor de Nagy galleries in NYC, the Whitney
Museum and the Smithsonian. He has collaborated with Nam June Paik and
Kraftwerk and is known for making new media tools used equally by
artists and scientists. (See dipaola.org).
