I found this article which talks about scientists growing unnatural 'living' things, such as tissue, cultivated from a few meager cells from another living creature. In the article it struck my particular interest that this scientist took cells from a frog and created what she called "steak," which was later on cooked up and eaten, while the frog watched happily from its cage. The scientist herself stated that "<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.59375px;">The piece forces viewers to consider all the life forms."</span><br />

While some may consider any poetry created electronically to be digital poetry, the main creative use of the medium is to provide an element of interactivity without requiring direct contact between the poet and the audience, as would be necessary to creative traditional poetry in an interactive manner.<br />
<br />
One example of digital poetry is JABBER: The Jabberwocky Engine, which is a Java program created by poet and new media artist Neil Hennessy. The program uses lexical rules to combine letters into nonsensical words that actually follow English pronunciation rules and norms and therefore sound like real words even though they are not.<br />
<br />
You can experience the program on the official website here:<br />

These works are typically created by scientists themselves or by traditional artists working in conjunction with scientists and will often involve laboratories as well as or in place of artist's studios.<br />
<br />
Here is an example of BioArt in a petri dish created with florescent bacteria:<br />

<br />
Here is an interesting article exploring the aesthetics of BioArt as well as the ethics of using live specimens and living tissue to create art:<br />

One example is <i>juke_bots</i>, a 2001 robotic performance installation piece featuring two robot arms acting as turntable disk jockeys. The robots are provided with a stack of records which they can place on the turntable and manipulate like real DJs by adjusting the speed, distortion, fragmentation, etc. while the music plays.<br />
<br />
Here is a video of the installation:<br />

<br />
Here's a video explaining what 3D printing is all about:<br />
<a href="http://youtu.be/IS4Xw8f9LCc">http://youtu.be/IS4Xw8f9LCc</a><br />
<br />

<br />
There are also numerous 3D printer Kickstarters aimed at bringing affordable 3D printers directly to people's homes. Here's one such example:<br />

I found it to be a well-informed video with solid arguments and an entertaining, yet fact-filled, presentation style.<br />

<span style="color: #666666;">First of all, I found a really interesting website called Resonate. It's a site that brings together art and technology:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><b>http://resonate.io/2013/#</b></span></div>
<br />
Through that site, I found Ivan Poupyrev who is actually a "Disney Imagineer" and helps create new technology for the Disney parks.<br />
<br />
However, the piece I'm going to show you has nothing to do with Disney. It's called: <br />
<h2>
Botanicus Interacticus: Interactive Living Plants</h2>
http://ivanpoupyrev.com/projects/botanicus.php<br />
<br />
Using a technology called, "Touche", which is a sensing technology, a wire is placed in a plant's soil and allows for the interaction between humans and the living plants to be tracked. If you go to the website listed above, you can see more images and video that describes the technology and shows the piece in action. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><b>"With <em>Botanicus Interacticus</em> technology any living plant can be
turned into a musical instrument, a game controller, a light switch, an
elevator button, or a motion detector. Interactivity and responsiveness
can be added to homes, streets, and even entire cities, unobtrusively
and sustainably simply by growing plants."</b></i></span><br />

How the music syncs up with the visual is another art- a separate medium all together, which makes it too often overlooked. In order from earlier to more recent I have comprised a chronological line-up of music videos that were digitally altered and are visually stunning <u>for their time</u>. Can we decide what a good music video is without thinking that with more advanced technology comes better videos? Below are a list of music videos that were <i>once</i> outstanding.<br />
Nine Inch Nails- Closer (1994)<br />
Nsync- Bye Bye Bye (2000)<br />
Madonna- Die Another Day (2002)<br />
Tokio Hotel- Durch Den Monsun (2003)<br />
The Used- Bird and the Worm (2007)<br />

The blog will be open only to members of the class. You can post items on the blog such as images, videos, links, etc., or your own original work or thoughts. All posts must be accompanied with a brief explanation in your own words (around 45-words) of what each posted or linked item is about. No explanation is required for posts of original thoughts (it’s assumed that such posts will be more than 45 words). If an original post uses sources for information and/or ideas, these must be cited in footnotes. Always use your own wording unless you quote directly (in which case you will put the wording within quotation marks). Students should link to articles rather than copy and paste entire articles on the blog (to comply with copyright laws). Topics must be related to new media art. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 20px;">
