4.1. Research Output2
My art practice employs experimental computer animation in order to explore aesthetics of
painting within expanded and new cinematic forms. I like to refer to my animated films as
“unframed paintings” that innovatively combine digital animation and stereo to fit diverse
media spaces. My current research interests are in novel display technologies, immersive art
environments, productions and trends for creating computer generated art works and
solutions for their digital presentation for mediated spaces. Table 5 is summary of the main
research output while at NTU (2007-2014). Please see Table 6 for Summary of the main
research for the last 3 years.

i) Research Statement
How can artists and film makers today create memorable digital experiences, an animated
"artistic canvas" with art content that would work for advanced display technologies - from
large scale immersive cinematic spaces such as planetariums to urban walls for community
generated content? How can creative content remain unique and step ahead of the
technology that enables it? Can the new media artists move the focus from the challenge of
how to use new media technology to the challenge of how to create timeless quality
experiences that involve the viewer as an active participant?
The broad objective of my research is to conduct an interdisciplinary exploration of the new
aesthetic possibilities in contemporary art practice, Stereoscopic 3D animation and new
media technology for novel immersive hemispherical environments and art exhibitions. The
outcomes of the projects are creation of the original artistic content for immersive spaces in
collaboration of film makers, animators, educators, researchers and scientists.
The areas of interest are: Painting, 3D Computer Animation, Installation Art, Immersive
Visualization displays, Public Art, Stereoscopic Immersive Experiences.

About the Event: The Deep Space 45is impressive stereoscopic 3D
projection room of the Ars Electronica Center. It features pictures,
movies, animations and 3-D applications in high resolution size.
2013 Ars Electronica Festival brought together neuroscientists and
computer engineers, artists and philosophers for an in-depth
consideration of TOTAL RECALL and an endeavor to elaborate on
how we human beings deal with storing our memories and
preserving them. In going about this, the focus was on three key
aspects: (neuro)scientific findings and insights about what memory
actually is and what meaning it possesses for our consciousness
and our identity; the various cultures of remembrance and the
diverse storage media used in the past and the present; and future
forms and methods of conserving memory. More than 500 artists,
scientists and scholars from 45 countries contributed their
perspectives, speeches, installations, performances and
interventions to this year’s festival. 421 events made up the Festival
lineup and had more than 85,000 visits.

b) Brief overview of research Project/Output/Contribution
In this project, we propose R&D of novel tools of brain state quantification that could be
integrated in IMI Triple I System (Interaction, Immersion & Innovation) and used in e‐learning,
art and medical applications. The algorithms are implemented with blobby visualization tools
for EEG analysis and are integrated in EEG based “serious” games. The “serious” games will
be proposed for e‐learning and medical applications including the games based on
concentration/attention recognition for e‐learning and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
therapy and pain management games. Such games could be used by the user/patient
even at home convenience.

b) Brief overview of research Project/Output/Contribution
The proposed research project will delve into an innovative approach toward image
creation methodologies, researching and integrating emotive and subjective abstract
imagery in digital, traditional and non-traditional forms. Completed were new media art
works that converged around 1) algorithm derived and computer generated paint strokes;
2) high resolution computer rendering techniques; 3) virtual fine art renderings for site specific
proposals; 4) physical prototyping for gallery exhibition/installation experiences; 5)
stereoscopic 3D still and animated image. The main goal of this research was not so much
technical and scientific forms of visualization rather developing new aesthetics for artworks
within new media technologies paint strokes, 2) high resolution computer rendering
techniques 3) animation.
