Heroic holograms

Heroic Medicine

Nearly 60 years after he died, surgeons from around the world still honour the memory of Sir Robert Jones, the father of modern British orthopaedics. Sir Robert lived and worked at a time when crippled children were a common sight on Britain's streets, and one of his greatest achievements was to show that many of these children-the victims chiefly of tuberculosis, rickets, and poliomyelitis-cou...

Projects in Vr Reconstructing Holograms with Digital Light Augmenting Holograms

12 September/October 2006 Published by the IEEE Computer Society 0272-1716/06/$20.00 © 2006 IEEE Among all the imaging techniques invented throughout the past several decades, computer graphics represent one of today’s most successful methods. Many areas in science, entertainment, education, and engineering would be unimaginable without the aid of 2D or 3D computer graphics. Interactivity provi...

Fundamental Superstrings as Holograms

The worldsheet of a macroscopic fundamental superstring in the Green-Schwarz light-cone gauge is viewed as a possible boundary hologram of the near horizon region of a small black string. For toroidally compactified strings, the hologram has global symmetries of AdS3 ×Sd−1 ×T8−d (d = 3, . . . , 8), only some of which extend to local conformal symmetries. We construct the bulk string theory in d...

Heroic versus Collaborative AI for the Arts

This paper considers the kinds of AI systems we want involved in art and art practice. We explore this relationship from three perspectives: as artists interested in expanding and developing our own creative practice; as AI researchers interested in building new AI systems that contribute to the understanding and development of art and art practice; and as audience members interested in experie...
