Digiti Sonus is an interactive fingerprint sonification or interactive sound installation that transforms human’s fingerprints into musical sound. The idea is to allow audience to explore their own identities through unique sound generated by their fingerprint patterns based on algorithmic computing and a physical device. The captured sound is looped and harmonized with other fingerprint sound so that the result is a real time experimental music as a representation of intergrated human identities and societal communication.

Mind-controlled spermatozoa. The female body has long been a site of contention, where opposing ideologies in religion, politics, and cultural differences often play out.  The female body has become a vessel by which systems of ideas are manifested. Can a woman vote or serve in the military? Can she wear pants, or must she be veiled? Does she have agency in deciding her own reproductive health choices? Reflecting on the cultural and scientific discourses that shape notions of the female body, this project challenges the status quo. In an expression of female empowerment, a woman control something inherently and symbolical male: spermatozoa (sperm).  Through the use of a brain-computer interface, she controls the movement of sperm with the agency of her thoughts.

文獻題目：Designing look-and-feel using generalized crosshatching

文獻作者：Yuxiao Du   Ergun Akleman

文獻來源：Designing look-and-feel using generalized crosshatching
文獻摘要：

In this work, we have developed an approach to include any cross-hatching technique into any rendering system with global illumination effects (see Figure 1). Our new approach provide a robust computation to obtain hand-drawn effects for a wide variety of diffuse and specular materials. Our contributions can be summarized as follows: (1) A Barycentric shader that can provide generalized cross-hatching with multi-textures; and (2) A texture synthesis method that can automatically produce crosshatching textures from any given image.

文獻摘要：

味覺控制器：可加強、抑制和創造味覺的電流下頜刺激器
本演示的目的是介紹電流下頜刺激（GJS）技術，這是一種用於誘導、抑制和增強電流刺激味覺的技術。在我們的演示中，用戶將體驗到不需要通過額外的化學材料也可產生的味道變化。

Galvanic tongue stimulation (GTS) is a technology used to change
and induce taste sensation with electrical stimulation. It is known
from previous studies that cathodal current stimulation induces
two types of effects. The first is the taste suppression that renders
the taste induced by electrolytic materials weaker during the stimulation.
The second is taste enhancement that makes taste stronger
shortly after ending the stimulation. These effects stand a better
possibility to affect the ability to emulate taste, which can ultimately
control the strength of taste sensation with freedom. Taste
emulation has been considered in various applications, such as in
virtual reality, in diet efforts, and in other applications. However,
conventional GTS is associated with some problems. For example,
the duration of taste enhancement is too short for use in diet efforts,
and it necessitates the attachment of electrodes in the mouth.
Moreover, conventional GTS cannot induce taste at the throat but
at the mouth instead. Thus, this study and our associated demonstration
introduces some approaches to address and solve these
problems. Our approaches realize that taste changes voluntarily
and the effects persist for lengthy periods of time.

文獻題目：FairLift: Interaction with Mid-Air Images on Water Surface
文獻作者：Yu Matsuura / Naoya Koizumi (The University of Electro-Communications)
文獻來源：

• Siggraph emerging technology 2018
• Demo影片
• SIGGRAPHetech_20181009_Fairlift

文獻摘要：
FairLift is an interaction system involving mid-air images, which are visible to the naked eye under and on a water surface. In this system, the water surface reflects the light from micro-mirror array plates, and a mid-air image appears. The system enables a user to interact with the mid-air image by controlling the image position of a light-source display from the water level measured with an ultrasonic sensor. The contributions of this system are enriching interaction with mid-air images and addressing the limitations of conventional water-display systems.

一般來說真正的浮空投影受限於物理現象並無法真實存在，常見的作法都是將影像投影在看似透明材質的物體上，使觀賞者能同時看到影像及真實環境，誤以為影像浮在半空中。一般常會利用半反射鏡斜放(金字塔或倒金字塔型)、氣(霧)幕、水簾、全息膜甚至黑紗網等方式達成。Electro-Communications大學則直接利用投影機投影在水面產生浮空視覺效果。為了讓使用者能有互動，且看起來具有深度，則需於使用者上方加置深度感測器來偵測手的位置及深度，再依其資訊改變投影內容物的位置及尺寸，達到擬真互動效果。

文獻題目：SEER: Simulative Emotional Expression Robot
文獻作者：Takayuki Todo
文獻來源：SEER-simulative emotional expression robot
文獻摘要：

SEER (Simulative Emotional Expression Robot) is an animatronic humanoid robot that generates gaze and emotional facial expressions to improve animativity, lifelikeness, and impresssiveness by the integrated design of modeling, mechanism, materials, and computing. The robot can simulated a user?s movement, gaze, and facial expressions detected by a camera sensor. This system can be applied to puppetry, telepresence avatar, and interactive automation.    (Emerging Technologies ACM SIGGRAPH 2018)

作品作者：German artist Benjamin Maus and Czech artist Prokop Bartoníček.
作品來源：作品連接（1）、（2） 、（3） 

作品說明：

*Jller* is part of an ongoing research project in the fields of industrial automation and historical geology. It is an apparatus that sorts pebbles from a specific river by their geologic age. The stones were taken from the stream bed of the German river Jller, shortly before it merges with the Danube, close to the city of Ulm. The machine and its performance is the first manifestation of this research. 繼續閱讀 →

作品名稱：ALL THINGS FALL (2016) ok
作品作者：Mat Collishaw（英国）
作品來源：作品連結(1)、(2)
作品說明：

*All Things Fall* is based on the *Massacre of the Innocents*, a Biblical tale of infanticide, committed by King Herod to avoid losing his crown. The tale has provided dramatic subject matter for artists throughout history, including Rubens, Reni, Giotto, and Tintoretto. Depictions of the subject often show a crowd, in a frenzied and violent orgy of the brutal act of killing children. Rubens’ famous depiction (illustrated) was influential for Collishaw’s zoetrope, both in its architectural emphasis and complex figural constellations.

2016 ARS Electronica (Interactive Art)

作品名稱：OpenSurgery (2016) ok
作品作者：Frank Kolkmann (NL)
作品來源：ARS Electronica Archive、OpenSurgery.net
作品說明：

With *OpenSurgery*, Frank Kolkman speculates on the potential for advanced do-it-yourself surgical tools to possibly support more accessible alternatives to the increasingly expensive health services worldwide.

Inspiration for the project came from the discovery that uninsured Americans are using YouTube to share videos in which they perform medical and dental hacks on themselves as an alternative to professional care. These videos speak about how the profit-driven medical industries are widening the gap between those who can afford healthcare and those who cannot. Forcing certain groups of people to look for treatment outside of the official systems.

Extrapolating on this phenomenon, *OpenSurgery* proposes a do-it-yourself robot assisted surgery system for use in domestic keyhole surgery. By combining 3D printing and laser cutting with hacked surgical pieces and components bought online, the robot trades medical compliance for accessibility and easy distribution. Although it still requires a surgeon to operate it, with help of the files, it could theoretically be replicated almost anywhere at a mere fraction of the cost of commercial surgical instruments, challenging many of the assumptions and legally formulated standards that exist within the heavily regulated medical sector.

Even though the current prototype is functional to an extent, it is not nearly stable enough to be used in surgery yet. In its current state however it proves there is potential for alternative communities to assemble aroundand explore profoundly different approaches to – medical technologies. Admittedly also raising a number of ethical, psychological, and legal concerns.

Instead of providing an immediate solution, *OpenSurgery* intends to facilitate discussion about alternative models of healthcare. Through provocation it investigates the socioeconomic values associated with medical practice and questions the preferability of the market driven healthcare narratives we have grown so accustomed to.
