This paper summarizes the development of a novel application that addresses creativity across multiple domains including music, games, visual arts, entertainment , and programming. Through a participatory iterative design and evaluation research methodology this creative application pursues new depths of mixed reality (XR) human-machine interaction...

JOURNAL: Stellenbosch Law Review Volume 33, No 1 of 2022 Special Edition - - - - - - This article examines the responsiveness of the African human rights system to sexual and gender-based violence (“SGBV”) from a collaborative framework combining both legal and computational methodologies. This alternative lens is proposed to address the need for...

The "Curious Creatures" project is an exploratory Research-Creation journey. Here, digital media practices in virtual reality (VR) are developed through an ongoing and evolving methodology. Sensorial engagement and embodiment practices are explored through practical exposure and theoretical study. Interactions between a user and their (VR) environm...

A 2 x 2 between-subject user study investigated the interaction of navigation methods on painting tasks in VR. 14 participants were instructed to paint 20 triangles in a line, evenly spaced then connect each triangle with a brush stroke that passed directly through their centers. Independent variables consisted of Navigation Method (with levels Tel...

Langevin dynamics simulations of the capture of polymers by a nanopore and the subsequent translocation through the nanopore are performed. These simulations are conducted for several polymer lengths at two different values for the Péclet number, which quantifies the drift-diffusion balance of the system. The capture-translocation process is divide...

Post-Lingnan School of Painting (PLSP), an artistic project deeply embedded in both research and praxis, enjoys the endorsement and support of the Memorial Hall of Lingnan School of Painting. As an extension of the Post-Bits Human Universe (PBHU), an ever-evolving interdisciplinary art initiative, PLSP stands as an experimental foray that transcend...

Manifestos, historically potent mechanisms for endorsing transformation and articulating novel conceptions, constitute the foundation of our workshop. This interactive milieu invites attendees to navigate an unprecedented landscape wherein artificial intelligence and human acumen are inextricably intertwined. Each participant is to engage in a coll...

Asynchronous Signal Transmutation (AST) is the latest iteration of the Post-Bits Human Universe (PBHU), a continually updated interdisciplinary project. This iteration focuses on bridging human artists, audiences, hackers, and developers with artificial intelligence and beings (Bits), exploring the complexity and poetry of relations in diverse spat...

This article examines the responsiveness of the African human rights system to sexual and gender-based violence ("SGBV") from a collaborative framework combining both legal and computational methodologies. This alternative lens is proposed to address the need for urgent attention to the increasing SGBV and other human rights violations of persons b...

The EVA London Research Workshop is one of the more unique elements of our Conference that we have been keen to develop over many years. Often Postgraduate Students, at Masters or PhD level, or Unaffiliated Early Career Artists may feel excluded from prestigious conferences until their research is completed and they can submit a full paper proposal...

In response to the growing climate crisis, Luminiferous Funeral is an interdisciplinary Virtual Reality game-art work with a physical sensory perception installation. This work explores the invisible erosion of climate change and environmental breakdown by offering audiences an opportunity to dialogue with nature and seeks to focus participants on...

Our Artificial Intelligence (Ai) Philosopher manifests as a content curator for Virtual Reality (VR) Game-Art works in which there are physical-sensory perception installations. Presented here is one such curator that develops environmental and spatial relationships to nature - the seed content of which is harnessed by this digital curation system...
