Machine centered humanz
It is clear that we have to pick up where science and art once were divided. We have to rethink our current state of the arts, and revamp the old sciences of audio and visual perception. After the commercial take over leading to similar consumer products, it is time to shift the research program from these frozen foundations, add a cognitive science angle, define "from analysis to synthesis", and do research into new audiovisual analysis and synthesis techniques: there are many to be discovered yet! Paul Demarinis' dictum "music is sound to the ears" can easily be extended in an audiovisual common context. An additional set of interest programs are to be developed to investigate expressivity and performativity. Together with participation and interaction, these cognitive activities are basic constituents of any cultural activity, and we need to crack the code behind this through further research, experiment and development, and establish a more exact view on the relatedness to human behavior. Technological art tends to be cultural, dynamic, non-linear, multidirective, timeless and chaotic, aesthetic and most of all: autonomous!"
