Speech of the Day
BRAVE NEW WORLDS OF MOVING IMAGESMonday 5 p.m. - 6 p.m. |
|
Gradually, initially guided by experts and computer scientists, then with an erupting force, as if someone had opened Pandora's Box, digital techniques, especially animation and simulation, have entered the world of moving images, of film and t.v. Not only environment is copied and simulated. Artificial avatars already stroll through a network of synthetic images. A completely synthetic universe of images is in the making. How will we deal with an interactive future? Will we use it to support imagination and creativity in order to (poetically inspired) aim at the stars? |
