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!"
