Review of Day 1- Sara Diamond

 

listen to presentation (24:17)

 

How do we understand the new, hybrid, simulations that link the digital to the biological, or which are biological?  Can and should we simulate the human body or mind?

Ted Kruger & Maria Lantin - Simulation Form Updates

 

listen to presentation (26:28)

 

Jaanis Garancs and Q & A

 

listen to presentation (44:44)

 

Are we living in a simulation?  How do simulations and the unseen shape our sense of space and time within physical reality?  In particular, how do
simulation games operate as experiences?  Do participants understand the game as another reality?

Is realism and reality the goal of all simulations, of some?  How does the
suspension of disbelief operate in a simulation?  How do agency, character, fantasy operate in games and animation?

Q & A Period

 

listen to presentation (25:35)

 

What have we learned about how we understand the world through simulation - how does this enable or disable consciousness?

Machiko Kusahari

 

listen to presentation (32:37)

 

If scientific realism is powerful because of its realism, then what is powerful about artistic re-creation?  What simulation media are appropriate for specific phenomena?

Chris Creighton-Kelly and Q & A

 

listen to presentation (1:02:54)

 

How can simulation extract the unseen from language?  What might these approaches tell us about an original, non-linguistic model?  What are the aesthetics of data?
