Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - cross-disciplinary perspectives of its participants. For example, Marc de Mey, a psychologist, used threedimensional computer graphic ren dering to reconstruct Masaccio's Trinity, in order to understand this early Renaissance painter's use of perspective; Thomas Hubbard, a photo journalist, engaged the entire audience in interactive image analysis; or Robert Williams, a computer scientist and musician, who performed Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition on a com puter assisted classical guitar, demonstrating a guitarist's ability to translate simple gestures for enhanced sonic expression. Each paper in this proceedings is a point on the perceptual hori zon. Together they form a Gestalt that organizes the visual land scape, highlighting reconverging paths of art, science, and technology toward a future Renaissance. Just as the fifteenth century Renais sance painter reinvented the technology of perspective to organize and represent images, future Renaissance communicators will rein vent computer technology to help us better understand visual reality.
