Elle Mehrmand (MFA, UCSD Visual Arts) and Micha Cardenas (Interim
Technical Director for Sixth College) present experiments in Mixed
Reality Performance Art, using the body as an instrument to produce
sounds to bridge multiple realities and explore queer futures of
resistance to biopower
Machine Perception Lab
Nicholas Butko (Postdoctoral Fellow, UCSD Machine Perception Lab) will
discuss the past, present, and future of machine perception
technologies. The last decade saw the advent of truly perceptive
technologies, such as digital cameras that decide to take pictures when
they perceive that you smile, or the XBox Kinect, which perceives over
twenty distinct parts of the human body. Already, machine perception
technologies are leading to significant advances in health, safety,
marketing, education, and art. Yet for all this achievement, current
techniques are severely limiting further progress. In the second half of
his talk, Dr. Butko will discuss projects in UCSD's Machine Perception
Laboratory that explore new paradigms in machine perception related to
active, self-taught learning.
CRCA Exchange is a series of free lecture and discussion events open to
the general public. The organizers would appreciate it if you could
share this announcement with any relevant distribution lists to which
you have access.
The CRCA Exchange series is supported by The Center for Research in
Computing and the Arts, in conjunction with Calit2 and the UCSD 50th
Anniversary.
