A DESMATERIALIZAÇÃO PELA REFLEXÃO

American artist Phillip K Smith III has added mirrors to the walls of a desert shack in California to create the illusion that you can see right through the building.

Entitled Lucid Stead, the installation was created on a 70-year-old wooden residence within the California High Desert.

CALL FOR PAPERS: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON COLOUR

CALL FOR PAPERS: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON COLOUR

As part of the AISB-50 Annual Convention 2014 to be held at Goldsmiths, University of London, on April 1st-4th 2014 (http://aisb50.org/). The convention is organised by the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), http://www.aisb.org.uk/

SYMPOSIUM WEBSITE: http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~mas01kd/aisb50/

OVERVIEW

Understanding the way in which we experience colour is a topic that crosses many disciplines. From scientific measurement to subjective phenomena, colour is as diverse an area of study as Artificial Intelligence itself.  Colour permeates all aspects of our daily lives and yet still contains many unknowns. If we can gain a better understanding of how we perceive colour then we can use this information to drive advancement in technology, both in the machine processing of colour information and in simulation of the human visual system. Instead of (re)attempting to define how we experience colour, this symposium asks how we can explore and use what knowledge we already have, particularly across a wide range of disciplines.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

This symposium will offer the chance to explore the usefulness of our knowledge of colour from an interdisciplinary perspective. We encourage contributions from a wide range of fields such as psychology, philosophy, neurology and colour science through to (but by no means limited to) computer graphics and vision, linguistics, art and the Classics. There are no prescribed topics of interest: we welcome proposals from anyone in any discipline whose research is concerned with the perception, understanding and use of colour. It is hoped that engaging a broad variety of disciplines will enable all participants to reflect on insights that may not be obvious or prevalent within their own research. 

The symposium will be organized around talks (the accepted full papers) and an informal discussion. The outcome of this symposium will be a broadened perspective of approaches to colour and a chance to foster new interdisciplinary research connections and collaborations.

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION 

Submissions must be full papers and should be sent via EasyChair: 

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aisb50

Text editor templates from a pervious convention can be found at:    

http://www.aisb.org.uk/convention/aisb08/download.html

We request that submitted papers are limited to eight pages. Each paper will receive at least two reviews. Selected papers will be published in the general proceedings of the AISB convention, with the proviso that at least ONE author attends the symposium in order to present the paper and participate in general symposium activities.

TRIBUTO A PANCHO GUEDES

Vejam este fantástico tributo a Amancio d’Alpoim Guedes (Pancho Guedes), SÓCIO HONORÁRIO da APCor desde 2006. (foto Mark Blower)
Fica registado o nosso agradecimento a quem criou e tornou possível este filme e o nosso orgulho de o ter como associado e ter contado com a sua presença e contributo no Mestrado de Cor em Arquitectura na FAUTL, que foi a génese desta associação, coordenado pela Professora Maria João Durão.

Dedicated to the life and work of Amancio d’Alpoim Guedes (Pancho Guedes), À Procura De Pancho illustrates the journey of a solitary student exploring the city of Maputo in search of Pancho. The architect, sculptor and painter spent most of his life in Mozambique, where he designed more than 500 buildings.

DIA DE ENCERRAMENTO DO EVENTO SCENA2013

Convidamos os sócios e interessados a participarem nas sessões do dia de encerramento dos Encontros Internacionais de Cenografia promovidos pela APCEN (Associação Portuguesa de Cenografia).

A entrada é gratuita.

13 fee reductions and scholarship grants of 4.000€ available for the first International Master’s Program in Color Design & Technology. Color as a Technical, Expressive, and Design Medium.

Site: http://www.polidesign.net/it/colordesign

Milan, October 2013 - POLI.design, Consorzio del Politecnico di Milano, in collaboration with the Università degli Studi di Milano, announces the first edition of the Color Design & Technology Master’s, which is set to start in March 2014 and last 12 months.

This master’s is the very first program worldwide devoted to graduate training in the fascinating and complex field of color design and color technology. A new training program conceived to lend value to the most innovative and exciting areas in design and manufacturing, the master’s program aims to train professional “color consultants,” new specialists to meet growing demand for all-around experts in using color as a technical, expressive, and design medium.  Such professionals know how to manage the technological and design complexities of using color, and thus play a central role in creative and industrial processes in numerous application domains: from industrial product design to interior architecture, from communication to fashion and entertainment, and even in designing the urban environment.

Not surprisingly, lots of professionals and companies have soon expressed their interest to this new training product, which will open  with the patronage and sponsorship of the Associazione Italiana Colore (a cultural association that aims to bring together organizations whose scientific, cultural, and professional work deals with color and light), SIOF – the Società Italiana di Ottica e Fotonica and the manufacturer Konica-Minolta. The master has also the patronage and the collaboration of: Lechler, Missoni, Barbieri, Materis Paint, Boero Group, Ceramica Vogue, Barco, Mamma Fotogramma Studio, Federchimica AVISA, Digiworld, Elementi Moda s.r.l., Create, OIKOS, GMG-Color, X-Rite Pantone, Mantero, FlintGroup, Clariant, Fontegrafica, Progetto Iride e Unione Industriali di Como.

Generous support from partners and sponsors has made available tre  50% fee reductions on tuition charged for the program, thanks to the Associazione Italiana Colore and the Società Italiana di Ottica e Fotonica.  In addition, 10 scholarship grants of €4,000 each, offered by the Politecnico di Milano – Dip. Design, will be assigned to the first students admitted and enrolled by January, 30^th 2014. Regulations and conditions for the fee reductions and scholarships can be found at: http://www.polidesign.net/it/colordesign/comepartecipare

The master’s program has two separate learning phases.  The objective of an initial theoretical and scientific segment is to develop technical skills in measurement, control, digital reproduction, and comparison through disciplines including physics, optics, colorimetry, chemistry, psychology, and perception.  The subsequent practical training phase contextualizes this learning in several applied design disciplines: industrial product design, interior architecture, the design of urban spaces, communication, fashion and entertainment, printing, and video.

The master’s program is targeted at graduates in design, architecture, engineering, computer science, informatics, and physics. The master’s board may also opt to admit candidates whose degrees are in other fields, following evaluation of their transcripts and motivational statements.

At most 30 places are available.  The program awards 60 credit units. For further information contact the Ufficio Coordinamento Formazione: phone +39-02-2399-5864 or write formazione@polidesign.net.
