When the Virtual meets the Physical: Bio Bots
“These are novel living machines,” Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research, said in a statement. “They’re neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It’s a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism.”

Aspects of Virtuality
* what are the qualities of virtual space? what does it mean to be virtual?
* where do we see virtual space overlap society?
VR to help extend our understanding
Virtual Continuum
The Virtuality Continuum is a phrase used to describe a concept that there is a continuous scale ranging between the completely virtual, a Virtual Reality, and the completely real:Reality. The reality-virtuality continuum therefore encompasses all possible variations and compositions of real and virtual objects. The concept was first introduced by Paul Milgram.
Reality<--------------->Virtual Reality
The area between the two extremes, where both the real and the virtual are mixed, is the so-called Mixed reality. This in turn is said to consist of both Augmented Reality, where the virtual augments the real, and Augmented Virtuality, where the real augments the virtual.

Mann's Continuum includes the level of degrees of mediation.
M = level of mediation
R = reality
V = virtual reality

[Due - Fri Apr 13th]
Laser Cut Vector Design
description:
For this project you will be creating a BxW drawing that will be converted into a vector graphic and etched into wood or plastic
1. Using a sharpie or other marker create a pattern, drawing or abstraction, in a 5" x 5" square on a piece of white paper.
For this project you will be creating a BxW drawing that will be converted into a vector graphic and etched into wood or plastic
1. Using a sharpie or other marker create a pattern, drawing or abstraction, in a 5" x 5" square on a piece of white paper.
2. Repeat the process six times
3. Take a photo of each drawing.
4. Upload the file to the class "Art116 Vector Images" Google Photos Album
5. Participate in the group critique
4. Upload the file to the class "Art116 Vector Images" Google Photos Album
5. Participate in the group critique
6. Convert the image chosen in the critique into a vector graphic using this link
Things to consider:
The
image needs to be two
colors only, black and white. The laser will etch the black lines into
the material. The white is the material itself. Lasers burn the
material. In the case of wood it leaves it looking dark and burnt.
Plastic looks frosted.
What’s Due:
Six image files up in the class 'Art116 Vector Album SP22-2' in Google Photos
