This paper develops the idea of ‘instrumentality’ to explore how use diverse tools or instruments involved in new music have potential (re)frame our engagement with world. It will be argued that choice instrumental and they are used performance can not only enrich creative processes outcomes for artist but also alter audience’s relationship world by encouraging a conceptual one more its aspects...

In this article we engage with four experimental ethnographies (Blaser, 2010; Lyons, 2020; Miller, 2019; and Gordillo 2014) that build on multispecies approaches for the analysis of what call ‘wounded relational worlds’ in Latin America. These are worlds which human more-than-human relations have been significantly reshaped, broken, or disrupted by colonization capitalist extractivism(s). Despi...

Starting with a likelihood or preference order on worlds, we extend it to a likelihood ordering on sets of worlds in a natural way, and examine the resulting logic. Lewis earlier considered such a notion of relative likelihood in the context of studying counterfactuals, but he assumed a total preference order on worlds. Complications arise when examining partial orders that are not present for ...

Interactive 3D worlds offer an intriguing testbed for t h e natural language generation community. To complement interactive 3D worlds' rich visualizations, they ~equire significant linguistic flexibility and communicative • power. We explore the major functionalities and ~rchitectural implications of natural language generation for three key classes of interactive 3D worlds: self. ." explainin...

Virtual worlds are online three-dimensional worlds that are often constructed to look much like the real world. As more people begin to use these virtual worlds, virtual communities are emerging enabling various social activities and social interactions to be conducted online. Based on a literature review of social movements, virtual communities and virtual worlds, this paper suggests a framewo...

One way for an agent to deal with uncertainty about its beliefs is to maintain a probability distribution over the worlds it believes are possible. A belief change operation may recommend some previously believed worlds to become impossible and some previously disbelieved worlds to become possible. This work investigates how to redistribute probabilities due to worlds being added to and removed...

3D virtual worlds are networked environments designed using the place metaphor. 3D virtual worlds as Computer-aided Design (CAD) tools have shown promising potentials in areas such as design simulation, distant team works as well as interdisciplinary design collaboration. Recent developments in collaborative 3D virtual worlds focus on interactivity, flexibility and adaptability. Rather than cre...

Interactive 3D worlds o er an intriguing testbed for the natural language generation community. To complement interactive 3D worlds' rich visualizations, they require signi cant linguistic exibility and communicative power. We explore the major functionalities and architectural implications of natural language generation for three key classes of interactive 3D worlds: selfexplaining 3D environm...

On the Web and on informatics systems, 3D virtual worlds used become big both in number and in size. Therefore, we propose in this paper a new method for retrieving 3D virtual worlds based on the semantics and the content. Firstly, we propose a new classified database of 3D virtual worlds given in VRML format. To achieve the semantic method, we construct an ontology that describes virtual world...
