The Rooms of Art. The Virtual Museum as an Anticipation of Reality

Representation Challenges

In this essay we propose a methodological approach for the realization of a virtual expositive space in which converge on one hand the results of a scientific research based on the study of author' s paintings whose contribution has embellished the Venetian territory, and on the other hand a strategy based on a credible interactive proposal for the users, for a creative fruition able to involve emotionally the observer and facilitating at the same time the learning.

How Physical Models Complete Virtual Multimediality

BCS Learning & Development, 2023

This paper is based on the two papers of 2021 and 2022 and shows how the use of haptic models can take the mediation of architectural concepts from the fields of archaeology, building research and art history to a new level. Unlike the primarily visual mediation strategies that are common above all in the field of architecture, simply because architecture can only be experienced in its entirety when actually visited on a full scale, the method presented here pursues the use of haptic models in physical reality not with the aim of reproducing the architecture itself, but its architectural concept. It is thus in the tradition of the visualisation of uncertainty developed by the authors, which already concentrated on conveying the concepts, the architectural ideas, in the visual as well. This excludes not only the use of relics, but also many speculative approaches, as they are often used in the film and games industry as photorealism. Their use serves solely to convey a certain atmosphere of being, whereas here it is a matter of conveying spatial concepts with a clear reference to the respective science. The scientific nature itself is also the content of the communication, and therefore it fits in with the visual strategy that the haptic models do not merely reproduce an external appearance, but also convey a deeper level, in this case that of the circulation concept. The object of the investigation, an amphitheatre of unique construction, is particularly suitable for this special kind of mediation, as it deliberately resists the usual advantages of an arrangement that submits to the terrain and thus consists almost entirely of extraordinary solutions.

From Transgression to Virtual Space or the End of Art

Styles of Communication, 2010

This article deals with the issue of finding a new exhibition site inside the transgression art area, to be more precise, the virtual space. The challenge to overcome the existing frontiers brings transgression in front of the virtual and the objects undergo visible changes starting from the artist’s status. The mechanics of producing an artistic product in the virtual world differ from what the artist used to make and now the public comes only to decrypt the image of the work. The onlooker does not have the work of art in front of him/her, it is hidden in and by the new languages the artist works with.

Experience in Virtual Environments: Scenarios of Spacetime Transcendence

In the framework of postmodern experience, the exponential growth and integration of new technologies in everyday life and communication has innovated the configuration of digital culture. Fields like art, cultural representation, cinema and games have been greatly affected by the use of mass digital media, as the dimensions of reality are expanded through the potentials of virtual world. Virtual reality involves digital products, 3d representations and multimedia applications that manage to expand the possibilities of each user and receive stimulus beyond the limitations of physical spacetime. The term virtual is standing not only for the form of the digital medium but also for all the possibilities enabled through the design and the scenario of virtual environments. The stimulus and experiences become available and shared at global level and the amount of possible activities done in specific space unities. Particularly, through the management of scenario and narration multimedia ontology is developed. By the term scenario, we don’t simply mean a time sequence or the narration of a story. It involves the composition of a complete concept with defined ontologies that specify the plot of multimedia applications. The postmodern plot of digital media may overcome the limitations of a linear presentation, providing navigation options that do not need to be predefined, simulating the complexity of real life. Furthermore, two projects are mentioned: The first one concerns a historical castle of Mytilene, represented at 3 different historical periods, and the second pertains to a discrete modern building in Athens, emphasizing at the alternative navigations provided to the user by the scenario of the digital work.

From wall-paintings to electronic technologies: the search for an ideal hybrid space

PORTO ARTE: Revista de Artes Visuais, 2016

Man have long used elements of his own architectural works, such as walls, floors and roofs, to devise figurative representations, displaying a different reality from the one before in that very space. Some of them, due to its characteristics, seem to have a virtual (represented) space, spatially integrated with the real (physical) space. We understand the hybrid space as the composition of real and virtual spaces, as if they were one. This article analyzes the representations of many historical periods to analyze the approach of the relationship between real and virtual spaces. He has studied wall-paintings and electronic technologies, showing that elements were gradually incorporated in these representations in order to achieve better results at proposing the hybrid space. He has also considered the ways that telecommunication technologies can contribute to the enabling of an old dream of a hybrid space.

Through a Glass Darkly: a Case for the Study of Virtual Space

Citeseer

This paper begins to examine the similarities and differences between virtual space and real space, as taken from an architectural (as opposed to a biological, psychological, geographic, philosophical or information theoretic) standpoint. It continues by introducing ...

Virtual Space: Exploring the Freedom of “Reality” in the Framework of Digital Heritage

This contribution discusses the benefits of panoramic representations for projects relating to the digital-heritage, a method which allows for an effective presentation and exploration of spatial relationships in structures that no longer exist. The paper provides information on existing software options for the creation of panoramic views. State-of the art representations of this kind derived from a 3D computer model will be discussed on the basis of a case study relating to the destroyed synagogue of Jablonec in the Czech Republic.
