CHI+Public Art – Research of Nori Fujimura

Following is search result on ACM digital library with the word “Public Art” on Oct 25th, 2011. Plus some papers from my own research.
Overview

Space oriented –techno oriented ‘spacial interface and its interaction with ‘user’ in public setting.
Place oriented– more content driven. conscious of issues on the place. not about ergonimic aspest of the space.
Space+Place– in some case, honest pursuit action of designing system for certain place or a type of space leads techno-oriented research into social action related research. Or vice versa.

This case study provides insights for artists, designers, and technologists working with community-generated media in the domain of public art. The authors document their recent public artwork, the Talking Poles, and discuss the adaptation of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) design methods to the project. Community-generated public art has a direct relationship to the field of HCI through the technology that underlies both social computing and quotidian digital documentation. When acknowledging ‘citizen action’ as a component of public art, consideration must also be given to the preservation of the work as representative of an emergent and shared digital world culture.

Art loop open: designing for the intersection of art and technology in an urban public exhibition. CHI EA ’11

In this case study, we explore the design and implementation of Art Loop Open, a city-wide art exhibition with a cutting edge technologically mediated experience. The case study will enumerate the design process, the collaboration between different decision making entities, as well as the technology layer and the experience design of the exhibition.

We are interested in a larger research question of how
groups and crowds of strangers that temporarily share
a space or activity can dynamically form a public record
of that event or action.
We are also interested in this design vector for applications
of anonymous crowds of strangers in public urban
spaces.

Interaction is increasingly a public affair, taking place in our theatres, galleries, museums, exhibitions and on the city streets. This raises a new design challenge for HCI – how should spectators experience a performer’s interaction with a computer? We classify public interfaces (including examples from art, performance and exhibition design) according to the extent to which a performer’s manipulations of an interface and their resulting effects are hidden, partially revealed, fully revealed or even amplified for spectators.

Vagamundo is a mobile public art project and an online game. Through a mobile cart resembling an ice cream cart pedestrians are invited to play a video game that reflects the plight of illegal immigrants in New York City. Following an introduction — Getting Across the Border, the player is challenged by various levels of social and cultural assimilation.
