Following our curiosity, we artists have misused s ystems, hacked devices, devised unusual algorithms and processes, and expr essed new colors and forms. What motivates our curiosity, and what are the consequences of our efforts? Why obsess over something that no one else s eems to care about, or doesn’t have immediate or practical value? Why do s omething that someone else finds disturbing? Why here and now? Why you? Wh at roles do artists and critics have in shaping the future of computer gra phics and interactive techniques?\n\nJoin us in Tokyo this December as we delve into the complex tapestry of Curious Minds. Explore how technology c an both disrupt and unify, offering new ways to understand and engage with our multifaceted existence and curiosity. Be part of the conversation and connect with the vibrant SIGGRAPH arts community here: Digital Arts Commu nity (DAC) Of SIGGRAPH Asia.\n\nQ&A\n\nQ&A for the session.\n\n----------- ----------\nBecoming Bats with "EchoVision": Towards Eco-Phenomenological Mixed Reality\n\nWhat is it like to be a bat? "EchoVision" is a mixed real ity art experience that simulates bat echolocation, immersing participants in the perceptual umwelt of bats. Using a custom-designed, handheld, bat- shaped mask based on the open-source HoloKit mixed reality headset, partic ipants visualize echo...\n\n\nBotao Amber Hu (Reality Design Lab), Jiabao Li (University of Texas at Austin), Danlin Huang and Jianan Liu (China Aca demy of Art), Xiaobo Hu (Independent), and Yilan Tao (Reality Design Lab)\ n---------------------\nExploring Fungal Morphology Simulation and Dynamic Light Containment from a Graphics Generation Perspective\n\nFungal simula tion and control are considered crucial techniques in Bio-Art creation. Ho wever, coding algorithms for reliable fungal simulations have posed signif icant challenges for artists. This study equates fungal morphology simulat ion to a two-dimensional graphic time-series generation problem. ...\n\n\n Kexin Wang (Brown University, School of Engineering; Rhode Island School of Design); Ivy He (Brown University, Department of Computer Science); Ji nke Li (Brown University, Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunol ogy); and Ali Asadipour and Yitong Sun (Royal College of Art, Computer Sci ence Research Centre)\n---------------------\nEye of Flora: Encountering N ature through the Mixed Reality Lens of Plant-Environment Interactions\n\n This paper presents a hybrid plants-driven mixed reality (MR) system, Eye of Flora, which re-engages humans with nature from a more-than-human persp ective. Eye of Flora integrates plants into digital twin systems by mergin g plant electrophysiology with 3D reconstruction technologies.
