SUMMARY:Art Gallery Talks 1
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Neither Utopia Nor Dystopia\n\nAt SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 in
  Tokyo, the Art Gallery seeks to present groundbreaking and impactful crea
 tions that intersect art, science, technology, society, and the environmen
 t. In an era of information saturation, where the essence and veracity of 
 matters may blur, we champion concrete expressions to reaffirm our reality
 , moving beyond mere idealism.\n\nThe theme “Neither Utopia Nor Dystopia” 
 eschews the stark dichotomy often portrayed between utopian and dystopian 
 extremes, crafting a realm for patient engagement with the manifold aspect
 s of reality and fostering the gradual maturation of values. This thematic
  direction nudges artists to uncover the subtle allure, intricacy, and pro
 fundity inherent in our day-to-day lives, urging them to craft palpable vi
 sions.\n\nThrough the distinctive lenses of artists, we aspire to recalibr
 ate our perception of the interplay between society, the environment, and 
 technology, thereby enriching our collective comprehension. We envisage a 
 tapestry of works that, at times, unveil hidden truths and beauties, and a
 t other times, navigate the intricate web of emotions and relationships, c
 ulminating in a corporeal portrayal of our world. In alignment with these 
 themes, the SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 Art Gallery casts a wide net, eagerly solic
 iting a spectrum of artistic endeavors, spanning artworks, projects, perfo
 rmances, platforms, and communities.\n\nJoin us at the SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 
 Art Gallery in Tokyo, Japan, as we question, explore, and engage with the 
 intricate and multifaceted realities of our times.\n\nPeep\n\n"Peep," insp
 ired by reality dating shows, explores how the internet fuels voyeurism. T
 he entire piece comprises three parallel threads, represented by surveilla

 ugh this work, we hope to convey that contributing to the internet...\n\n\

 ----------\nTAI_ON: Audible Body and Its Enveloping Rhythm\n\n"TAI_ON" is 
 an immersive installation that invites participants to reconnect with thei
 r bodily rhythms within a sculpted, 300-year-old tree. Using a non-contact
  millimeter-wave radar, the artwork encourages participants to tune into t

 (University of Tsukuba; Xtrans tech, Inc.)\n---------------------\nSemanti
 c See-through Goggles\n\nSemantic See-through Goggles are a kind of specta
 cles, through which the view is once totally verbalized and then re-imaged
 . The view, in which much of the spatial positioning and material has been
  reworked, however, does indeed convey the meaning of the scene in front o
 f it.\n\n\nGoki Muramoto (University of Tokyo), Yuri Yasui (University of 
 British Columbia), and Hirosuke Asahi (University of Tokyo)\n-------------
 --------\nIn Vivo / In Vitro - Trial 1.4\n\nIn Vivo / In Vitro - Trial 1.4
  is an interactive new media installation. It leverages machine learning t
 o understand the moment a viewer blinks, ephemerally displaying generative
  embryonic imagery during this brief moment of unconsciousness.\n\n\nJoey 
 Verbeke and Koi Ren (Independent Artist)\n---------------------\nDiverse a
 nd Universal Camera\n\nThis video installation collages footage from the E
 ncyclopedia Cinematographica (EC) using a hybrid system of AI-based automa
 tic and manual tagging. It explores connections between different eras and
  regions, visualizing EC's encyclopedic nature.\n\n\nYasushi Noguchi and Y
 uta Ogai (Tokyo Polytechnic University)\n---------------------\nMe vs. You
 \n\nIn this queer multi-channel installation, footage from a wrestling mat
 ch between the artists is fed through a generative AI pipeline to expose t
 he limits of surveillance-oriented machine vision systems in interpreting 
 human interaction.\n\n\nAdam Cole (Creative Computing Institute, Creative
