Digital art refers to any artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. It can also refer to computational art that uses and engages with digital media. Since the 1960s, various names have been used to describe digital art, including computer art, electronic art, multimedia art and new media art. History John Whitney developed the first computer-generated art in the early 1960s by utilizing mathematical operations to create art. In 1963, Ivan Sutherland invented the first user interactive computer-graphics interface known as Sketchpad. Andy Warhol created digital art using an Amiga where the computer was publicly introduced at the Lincoln Center, New York, in July 1985. An image of Debbie Harry was captured in monochrome from a video camera and digitized into a graphics program called ProPaint. Warhol manipulated the image by adding color using flood fills.

Towards a secure and trustworthy imaging with non-fungible tokens

Touradj Ebrahimi, Davi Nachtigall Lazzarotto, Evgeniy Upenik

Non fungible tokens (NFTs) are used to define the ownership of digital assets. More recently, there has been a surge of platforms to auction digital art as well as other digital assets in form of image, video, and audio content of all sorts. Although NFTs have the potential of revolutionizing the foundations of ownership, they also face various challenges notably in terms of trust and security. This paper starts by identifying the challenges in current NFTs and proposes a solution in order to remedy to their current shortcomings.

Building timber structures with robots!

Nicolas Henry P Rogeau

In recent years, the necessity of using renewable and sustainable resources in the construction sector has become obvious. This has led to a revived interest in the natural advantages of timber as a building material. To this end, the Laboratory for Timber Constructions (IBOIS) aims to develop more efficient design and construction methods using digital tools such as robots, CNC machines, scanners, and augmented reality. Current research focuses on the development of so-called Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures (IATPS). This innovative construction system is inspired by ancient Japanese carpentry techniques. It uses interlocking joints to connect timber panels and create outstanding spatial structures (see below). Using timber connections provides a more sustainable alternative to standard gluing and screwing processes. The joints also help to guide the pieces during the assembly transforming the construction in a kind of large-scale puzzle. Another advantage of IATPS is the possibility to prefabricate all the pieces with the help of state-of-the art digital tools such as CNC routers and robots. To facilitate the adoption of IATPS in the industrial world, IBOIS researchers have developed a virtual design interface that helps architects, engineers and contractors to automate the creation of timber joints between the panels, compute associated structural analysis, as well as generate fabrication toolpaths and robotic trajectories.
