Popper traces the historical development of today's interactive new media art and argues that it humanises technology with its emphasis on public involvement and its philosophical investigation of the real and the virtual. He celebrates the artists' combined commitment to aesthetics and technology.

The Hidden Sense
- 181pp, b/w & col illus, 23.5 x 15.5cm. Published: Cambridge MA '07
Explores the phenomenon of synesthesia - in which two or more senses cooperate in the perception of an experience normally confined to one sense, such as hearing music in colours or tasting voices - from both artistic and scientific perspectives, looking at examples of synesthesia in visual art, music and literature, and in recent neurological research. The author concludes that it is not a literary technique, an artistic trend or a metaphor, but perhaps a hidden sense - a way to think visually

Telematic Connections: The Virtual Embrace http://telematic.walkerart.org/overview/index.html
Telematic Connections, like many of the works in it, is a hybrid affair. Part history, part speculation, partly onsite, partly online, it crosses boundaries between art, communications, and popular culture. Its four sections include installation works, past and recent film clips, online projects, and a "telematics timeline." Through these various media, the exhibition presents the ways in which artists use technology—and the Internet—to explore both the utopian desire for an expanded, global consciousness and the dystopian consequences of our collective embrace, willing or not, of computer-mediated human communications. At the same time Telematic Connections places this emergent work within a historical framework.
The eight installations that comprise the "Telereal" component of this exhibition use the Internet and computing to explore this mediated embrace between parties, whether human to human, human to machine, machine to machine, or even human to nature. Here, as well as in the ten online projects in the "Datasphere" component of the exhibition, what the visitor-participant does in the galleries affects (and is affected by) someone or something somewhere else in physical space. "The Virtual Embrace" signals this shift from the viewer as an observer to embracing us as a participant, integral to the work-process of art.
While Telematic Connections presents the possibilities for connections and affiliations, it still acknowledges a persistent question about connective new media. Artist, theorist, and teacher Roy Ascott stated it poignantly already in 1990, "Is there love in the telematic embrace?" Is there content besides technology? Engagement beyond entertainment? A message that is not only the medium?
Telematic Connections is not fundamentally about technology. Nor is it an attempt to define a new genre of art practice. It is about what MIT computer scientist Michael Dertouzos calls "the forces of the cave"—some of the eternal human traits that have never left us, including the desire to connect, even to merge with another—but in today’s world of ubiquitous computing and global networking.
Steve Dietz February 2001
Telematic Connections: The Virtual Embrace is a traveling exhibition, organized by Independent Curators International (ICI), New York, curated by Steve Dietz, and made possible, in part, by the Rockefeller Foundation. The website is copresented by the Walker Art Center.

TeleReal
The "TeleReal" consists of eight installations, which use networking and computing to explore issues of the global embrace of the telematic network; making human connections with and despite the network; and converging physical and cyberspace to create a hybrid reality that interrogates the notion of a global embrace.
Example of TeleReal
Mori, 1997, 1999 at the Inter Communications Center, Tokyo, 1999
http://telematic.walkerart.org/telereal/mori_index.html
"Mori" is an Internet-based earthwork that engages the earth as a living medium. In this installation, minute movements of the Hayward Fault in California are detected by a seismograph, converted to digital signals, and transmitted continuously via the Internet to the installation.
Inside the entry curtain, visitors follow a fiber-optic cable to the center of the resonating enclosure where a portal through the floor frames the installation's focal point. The live seismic data stream drives an embedded visual display and immersive low-frequency sounds, which echo the unpredictable fluctuations of the earth's movement.
The title links the Japanese term for "forest-sanctuary" with the Latin "reminder of mortality." In "Mori," the immediacy of the telematic embrace between earth and visitor questions the authenticity of mediated experience in the context of chance, human fragility, and geological endurance.

Telerobotics and Telepistemology in the Age of the Internet
http://telematic.walkerart.org/telereal/mori_goldberg.htmlThe Unique Phenomenon of a Distance
Ken Goldbergnotes from this essay
This book focuses on telerobotics (TR) rather than virtual reality (VR). Although Gibson's term "cyberspace" encompasses both, the distinction is vital: VR is simulacral, TR is distal.9 Michael Benedikt's Cyberspace: First Steps10, published by MIT Press in 1991, initiated a decade of dialogue about the theoretical implications of virtual reality.11
...Access, agency, authority, and authenticity are central issues for the new subject of telepistemology: the study of knowledge acquired at a distance. One of the great promises of the Internet is its potential to increase our access to remote objects. The distributed nature of the Internet, designed to ensure reliability by avoiding centralized authority, simultaneously increases the potential for deception.

UK performing arts company, Theatre Cryptic, creates “a visual theatre of sound” in their performances. It seeks novel technologies, techniques and processes that can be incorporated in an abstract way to create special effects and multi-sensory experiences to both the musical player and the listening audience. Aiming to create an emotional response to music, multimedia techniques focused on sound, smell, touch and visual representations are sought to add a new dimension to the performing arts.

Philosophy and the Adventure of the Virtual: Bergson and the Time of Life
With the development of new technologies and the Internet, the notion of the virtual has grown increasingly important. In this lucid collection of essays, Pearson bridges the continental-analytic divide in philosophy, bringing the virtual to centre stage and arguing its importance for re-thinking such central philosophical questions as time and life. Drawing on philosophers from Bergson, Kant and Nietzsche to Proust, Russell, Dennett and Badiou, Pearson examines the limits of continuity, explores relativity, and offers a concept of creative evolution.
'HyperReality is a technological capability like nanotechnology, human cloning and artificial intelligence. Like them, it does not as yet exist in the sense of being clearly demonstrable and publicly available. Like them, it is maturing in laboratories where the question "if" has been replaced by the question "when?" and like them, the implications of its appearance as a basic infrastructure technology are profound and merit careful consideration.' - Nobuyoshi Terashima What comes after the Internet? Imagine a world where it is difficult to tell if the person standing next to you is real or a virtual reality, and whether they have human intelligence or artificial intelligence; a world where people can appear to be anything they want to be. HyperReality makes this possible. HyperReality offers a window into the world of the future, an interface between the natural and artificial. Nobuyoshi Terashima led the team that developed the prototype for HyperReality at Japan's ATT laboratories. John Tiffin studied they way HyperReality would create a new communications paradigm. Together with a stellar list of contributors from around the globe who are engaged in researching different aspects of HyperReality, they offer the first account of this extraordinary technology and its implications.This fascinating book explores the defining features of HyperReality: what it is, how it works and how it could become to the information society what mass media was to the industrial society. It describes ongoing research into areas such as the design of virtual worlds and virtual humans, and the role of intelligent agents. It looks at applications and ways in which HyperReality may impact on fields such as translation, medicine, education, entertainment and leisure. What are its implications for lifestyles and work, for women and the elderly: Will we grow to prefer the virtual worlds we create to the physical world we adapt to?HyperReality at the beginning of the third millennium is like steam power at the beginning of the nineteenth century and radio at the start of the twentieth century, an idea that has been shown to work but has yet to be applied. This book is for anyone concerned about the future and the effects of technology on our lives.

Introductory Profile:
Michele Barker is presently investigating the area of neuroaesthetics in new media art practice. Her research draws upon the processes of genetic and neuroscientific digital visualisation techniques. These advanced imaging processes are harnessed to facilitate an immersive and interactive space which is part artist generated and part responsive to user/audience interaction.
Current Research Activity
http://www.cofa.unsw.edu.au/staff/profiles/michelebarker/research.htmlAs a result of a 2006 FRG, Michele is presently investing the area of neuroaesthetics in new media art. A study in (e)motion draws upon the processes of neuroscientific visualisation to produce a dynamic portrait of the emotional brain. This research aims to develop a visual methodology for producing affective and interpretative relationships to scientific portraiture for an art public. Using aesthetically reworked functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging sequences, the outcome of this research will be an installation that links contemporary neurological images to modes of display from the nineteenth century. This connection will demonstrate that any imaging process –scientific or aesthetic – produces tableaux for interpretation. Contemporary neurological "portraiture" likewise affords us an interior tableau to interpret the emotional brain.

This paper will address the positioning of multimedia in relationship to information and the reduction of corporeality via genetics to information. It aims to articulate the ways in which “Præternatural” (my recent CD ROM) both acknowledges the present limitations of multimedia bound by these conceptual structures of information theory and attempts to go beyond these. It will set out to explore the problems associated with this current state, both conceptual and technical, of multimedia in relationship to emerging conceptions of the body. It will also address contemporary cybernetic theory and the work of other visual artists deploying relations between bodies, culture and information.
Michele Barker is a Sydney based artist who has worked within the area of new media for over a decade. Her work covers the areas of digital photography, digital video, interactivity and web based production, primarily dealing with issues relating to perceptions of identity molecular and bodily and their relationship to technology, science and medicine. She is currently a lecturer in Digital Media with the Photomedia Department of the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, where she is also completing her PhD. Recent international shows include “hybridforms” at MonteVideo, Netherland’s Media Art Institute, as well as having work presented at “Milia 2001”, in Cannes France, and as part of the Soho Guggenheim’s Brandon web and site specific installation. Nationally, she has had work included in FutureScreen 2000 at the Australian Centre for Photography in Sydney, and Viruses and Mutations as part of the Melbourne Festival.

High-tech showcase of cinema expertise (01/03/2007)
Extreme entertainment
The world's first 4D Extreme Screen, launched at SkyPlaza, Hong Kong International Airport, promises a sensory cinematic experience unlike anything cinemagoers have ever encountered. Boasting Asia's largest 4D cinema, 4D Extreme Screen employs the latest visual and audio special effects that bring strikingly real three-dimensional images right before the audiences' eyes, while simultaneously allowing them to experience sensory thrills timed to the visual action. Cinema goers watching 4D movies can, for example, wade through drifting show, splash in water and breathe in pleasant outdoor fragrances.
Co-invested by Hong Kong Airport Authority, Multiplex Cinema Limited (MCL) and SimEx-lwerks, 4D Extreme Screen opened in February showing Charlotte's Web, the first Hollywood movie to incorporate multi-sensory special effects into standard 35mm movies.http://www.freshpatents.com/Multisensory-animated-picture-dt20071227ptan20070299298.php
Title: Multisensory animated picture
Abstract: The invention enables digital works combining fixed images, animated images, sounds and smells to be disseminated to an audience. The multisensory picture looks like a traditional art picture with a removable frame which is personalized in harmony with the work thus disseminated. A high-resolution flat electronic screen (1) occupies the space instead of the picture. Integrated devices enable sounds (2) and smells (3) chosen by the creators of the multisensory works to be disseminated. The invention activates human senses such as sight, hearing, smell and possibly touch, enabling viewers to experience strong emotions. (end of abstract)
[0005] The invention aims to solve at least one of these drawbacks. For this purpose, the invention relates to a device for broadcasting digital media combining still images, animated images, sounds, scents and possibly touch to the public Henceforth referred to as "multi-sensory picture", the invention is presented in the form of a standard picture, the frame of which can be removed and personalised according to the digital work being broadcast. The picture canvas is replaced by a high-resolution electronic flat screen and an integrated device enables the broadcasting of different scents chosen in accordance with the sequence of images displayed and sounds emitted. The invention thus stimulates the human senses, namely sight, hearing, smell and even touch. In relation to the preceding, the frame can advantageously have raised patters which are pleasing to touch and designed in harmony with the all the images, sounds and scents broadcast. When used in the field of catering, the multi-sensory pictures can also be associated with dispensers of edible products so as to also stimulate the fifth human sense, namely taste.
[0006] The multi-sensory picture makes it possible to broadcast specific digital works created by artists and designed to provoke emotions by simultaneous stimulation of the senses. For this purpose, works intended to be broadcast by means of the invention will be designed so that the images, sounds, scents and frame form an inseparable whole. In particular, the images, sounds and scents preferably change in a synchronised manner.

T_Visionarium
the University of New South Wales have created the world's first 360 degree sterescopic projection cinema. It is AVIE, or the Advanced Visualisation and Interaction Environment. A 120-square metre circular screen surrounds the audience and provides the environment for an wholly “immersive” three-dimensional cinematic experiences.
