Reality Zone [I] was a UC multi-campus graduate art showcase
and conference co-organized by the UC Digital Arts Research Network and
the Media Arts & Technology Graduate Program and Department of Art
Studio at UC Santa Barbara. The theme focused on digital and networked
technologies as expressions and tools of the real rather than the virtual.
Papers and projects investigated computer technology and networked environments
as real, and as an essential part of what could be understood and perceived
today as "nature", not as simulations of reality. Events were
organized and produced by UCSB professors Lisa Jevbratt and Marko Peljhan.
In this first incarnation of Reality Zone, the focus was
in the realm of physics, and specifically how the transition from the
mechanical paradigm to the quantum paradigm have changed and influenced
what reality is. Two keynote speakers addressed this shift from their
different positions. Projects in software, networks, space/time interactions,
sensor integration, and sensor/environment interaction, media performances
etc. fit within the theme of the conference.
