[x] 'Computer Art and the Theory of Computation'

[Miles Thorogood]

Hiya all,
attached is a paper that refers to my current research, which explores soundscape representations of natural language. A component of the system uses social media services to explore a larger conceptual space of the natural language phrases. The system was used in a dance performance. I will be continuing this research to include machine learning algorithms for the classification of audio files for automated composition by an artificial agent. The application of this system would then be toward digital storytelling and augmented reality environments.




The attached image is an idea I am playing around with of creating ambient interaction using cognitive immersion strategies. This is still in the primary stages of development, simply a prototype of affect. I will start playing around with sorting algorithms, and motion in further progress. 



Here are a collections of links to some of the other projects I have been involved with.

Best of luck with your writing endeavours Jim. I am glad your back in town, and look forward to catching up with you soon.
