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).
