Title: Ricardo Dominguez and Amy Sara Carroll: TransBorder New Media Art
A SPARKS online presentation introducing the participation of The Future Past v. Coloniality: Decolonial Media Art Beyond 530 years exhibition in the 2023 Siggraph conference. Moderated by the curator Dr. Liliana Conlisk Gallegos and Kathy Rae Huffman. Ricardo Dominguez and Dr. Amy Sara Carroll will present on the award winning “The Transborder Immigrant Tool (TBT)”, included in The Future Past v. Coloniality. Part of the Electronic Disturbance Theatre 2.0/b.a.n.g. tab), “TBT” is a classic example of performance, poetry, and executable code. It was designed to assist disoriented border crossers to find emergency water and safety. First tested in 2009, the project interfaced with the non-profit groups Water Station Inc. and Border Angels, who shared their locations with the TBT team. As transborder new media art pioneers, Dominguez and Carroll will highlight the particular contexts of borders and their engagement with transdisciplinarity, rasquache, nepantlera, and hypertextuality as unique methods and sensibilities in the practice of transborder new media art.

Description:
Phantasmagorias have captivated imaginations, artistic inquiries, and critical discourse for well over two centuries. The phantasmagoric dispositif situates spectator and image in real-time assembly, collapsed within a single time and space, while seemingly freed from material constraints. From eighteenth and nineteenth century theatrics; through contemporary stage illusions, themed entertainment, immersive and intermedia arts events, and real-time computational arts; what do historical and contemporary phantasmagorias indicate for the future of art and technology? This event considers diverse perspectives on phantasmagoria through critical and practical approaches in contemporary media arts research practice, architecture, and theatrical production.

Session Description
Our understanding of the world is limited by the capacity of our senses to ingest information and also by our brain’s ability to interpret it. Through the use of technology, we know that the universe we live in is far more complex and rich with information than what can be perceived by humanity. From microscopic to cosmic, information that transcends our lived experiences is difficult to comprehend. Our ability to augment our senses with technology has resulted in an accumulation of vast amounts of data, often in a form that needs to be translated to be understood. This SPARKS session explores the conceptual and creative aspects of scientific visualization.
When raw numbers are converted to graphic or animated illustrations, important decisions must be made to facilitate human comprehension, interpretation, and analysis of often inconceivable natural phenomena. The use of art and design principles, coupled with an understanding of human perception and cognition, as well as a thorough command of computer graphics technologies enables scientific visualization artists to reveal the complexities of the incredible world we live in. Through the use of computer animation, graphic illustration, virtual reality, immersive installation, 3d printing, augmented reality and other mediums of sensory expression, scientific visualization artists and scientists are the important mediators between the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen, and the imperceptible and the perceived.
