Home My WebLink AboutPAAC Agenda 1-5-17 (2) Public Art Advisory Committee Thursday, January 5, 2017 3:30 PM Lobby Conference Room 410 E Washington St AGENDA Call to order Public discussion of any item not on the agenda Consideration of minutes of the November 3, 2016 meeting Election of Officers for 2017 Robert A Lee Recreation Center STEAM Wall Installation - Review of responses to Request for Qualifications Committee announcements or Committee reports Staff reports - PAAC membership, Matching Funds Adjournment Dear Marcia, I'm writing in response to the RFQ for a wall installation at the Robert A. Lee Rec Center. I just became aware of this opportunity today, and I'm hoping your still accepting applications. Below is my letter of intent, references, and links to past work. Attached is my cv and a few images to give you a sense of my work. My name is Cara Briggs Farmer, and I'm an Iowa artist working in steel and mixed media. I have produced site-specific STEM-related pieces for Kirkwood Community College, numerous custom site-specific pieces for private residences, and recently installed a 15' x 10' x 6' piece of public art for the City of Marion. The relationships and interplay among engineering, math, technology, and art are real and tangible in my studio every day. Without working knowledge of geometry, vectors, thermal mass, and rigging, I'd be out of a job. MIG welded steel is my primary medium. I am as comfortable designing and building with new materials as I am improvising with reclaimed steel. Much of my work starts with the ratio Phi incorporated into a Prairie School aesthetic. These pieces are intended to feel refined and offer the viewer a medium for contemplation, reflection, and inspiration. Other pieces start in the junkyard. Salvaged materials allow me to create art which speaks to the object's past while inviting the viewer to re-imagine what is possible. As a former theater technical director, I am equally comfortable with collaboration and solo work. I believe communication, criticism, and feedback are essential to creating not only the best possible piece for the site, but also essential to building and maintaining healthy and vibrant community relationships among citizens, city administration, and artists. I would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with the City of Iowa City to create a STEAM-centered piece that is equally engaging and accessible.

Education MA – University of Northern Iowa, 1999 BA – University of Northern Iowa, 1997 My name is Megan Bishop, I am a local Iowa City artist and muralist. I am so excited to share my vision with you regarding the space at the Rec Center. I have visited the site with my former Art teacher Hani Elkadi. I understand the previous mural was created by students at the alternative school, as a former student of SHAC, I would be honored to carry on the tradition with a new mural. I have been commissioned to create many murals around the Iowa City area. My latest mural was at The ARC of Southeast Iowa. I created a sensory room & mural as a calming spot for their clients with special needs. The room was an enclosed space in which I incorporated mixed media with a colors and designs meant to center energy and focus. I love incorporating different textures and playing with colors; this project allowed me the freedom to do both. I chose a space-themed mural for the S.T.E.A.M. opportunity. By choosing outer space, not only can I incorporate all elements of S.T.E.A.M., it is educational, gender neutral, and most of all fun! My idea, I believe can best utilize & compliment the space provided. I would like to use various elements of touch throughout the mural by using 3 dimensional objects and gel mediums. Starting at the bottom, we start with the sun- painted and textured. As your eyes continue to follow the mural, the planets would be Styrofoam spheres, cut in half, they would be painted and textured along with being varnished to make them last. The spheres would be size appropriate to show an accurate view of our solar system. I would like to add fun facts about each planet along with a rocket ship and astronaut at child height with a push/spin element. In the center of the mural, I would incorporate the elements of S.T.E.A.M. as well as examples of how they have been used in the exploration of space. EXAMPLE – Science- how we understand our world Technology- how we explore other worlds Engineering- how we reach the places we have never been Art- How we imagine Math- how we visualize the unknown The top portion of the mural would be the “unknown”; I would like to play with the idea of other galaxies, black holes and such. I would also add splashes of fluorescent paints that would be black light responsive if you would like to include that element. I thank you for taking the time to read my proposal. It would be an honor to have my work displayed at the Iowa City Rec Center as well as a wonderful opportunity. Thank you, Megan Bishop Hi Marcia, After speaking with you at the Eastside Artists show, I have been thinking about the Wall project in the Recreation Center. This summer I designed a mural of 40 figures walking and playing on the 3rd street skywalk in downtown Cedar Rapids. The mural is made of clear 1/4" poly carbon Lexan and has the strength to be bullet proof. A lighter weight acrylic could be slumped or curved for a 3 dimensional effect. It also comes in reflective mirror sheets. You may have seen my work in the lighter weight acrylic I used for the Book project. I was thinking of a cityscape at the top and then dropping into neighborhoods as you descend to the floor level. I could cut slots into the Lexan and have small figures of doctors, nurses, scientist, artist’s construction workers etc. moving about in the colorful neighborhood going to work all low enough for adults and children to move about. Some of the figures could be like pull toys or flying about. There could be a Lexan artist easel with erasable markers on the lower level. The Lexan reflective mirror would be closer to the top downtown area and University building silhouettes and be curved for a fun reflection of visitors below, like a fun house. A "feel" Lexan board to show what goes on in the Recreation Center for the sight impaired and others with sight. A couple of Lexan chairs could be out front, so the observer could contemplate the business of the townspeople and recognize the neighborhoods and what people are doing. I think the overall weight would be 150lbs and could be bolted into the studs on the wall. I do have some Lexan sheets I could use on this project. So as to stay in a $1000 supply budget and $500 for the City to install with my supervision. I will send a photo of smaller projects I have completed. I can make a small model out of plastic for the committee to review. Thanks for your consideration, Jo Myers-Walker Artist http://www.theleftbankstudio.com Iowa City Achieving Maximum Potential (AMP) Facilitator, Four Oaks Dear Marcia Bollinger Iowa City Public Art Program Coordinator, My name is Kyle Rector, and I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Iowa. I, along with five other members, are submitting an application for creating a wall installation at the Robert A Lee Recreation Center. Because our application materials are too large to attach via email, I have included a link to a zip file containing our materials. Inside the zip file is our statement of interest, along with folders representing each team member that contain the required information. Here is the link: Application Materials Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing more about this opportunity! Sincerely, Kyle Rector Assistant Professor, Computer Science kyle-rector.com “Sun & Wind: harnessing Iowa’s green energies” "Sun & Wind: harnessing Iowa's green energies" mock-up "Sun & Wind: harnessing Iowa's green energies" (working title) uses visual, sound, and tactile elements to provide visitors with an interactive experience that spotlights Iowa’s Green Energy potential. Visitors activate light, sound, and wind in a graphically displayed Iowa landscape. Turning hand cranks and wheels visitors generate power and motion. The project’s primary visual is an engaging scene of a river meandering through the landscape with buildings, trees, grass and cornfields. The river is activated by rear-projected LED’s onto semi-opaque acrylic panels with an LED-illuminated sky. Robust 3-D printed, laser-cut buildings and landmarks, along with vegetation made from antimicrobial materials – artificial turf, broom bristles, and other recycled materials (all with safe, smoothed edges) allow for a tactile exploration of the landscape. GIS data and photography on embedded durable LED (television) screens provide additional educational information and insight into the current and future possibilities of sustainable energy. To engage viewer interaction, Ultrasonic Motion Sensors trigger small fans blow a gentle breeze. A brief, inviting verbal cue tells visitors to explore and “power” the work. A 24” wide wheel three feet off the ground, when spun, drives a large wind turbine mounted 10ft from the floor. Hand cranks power LED lights in the buildings and street lights, complemented by information on energy production. Other lights illuminate words and equations key to the science of light and energy - e.g. E=MC2, a2 + b2 = c2. Parallel information in Braille, and other accommodations for people with a range of abilities (universal design) is integral to the design of the project. Small DC generators are connected to the hand cranks. The artwork connects to a power outlet – an affordable and durable, low-wattage off-grid solar power generating system – located on the roof. Along with the hand-cranked devices, the system also generates power for an LED display of green or seasonal lights on the roof. Led by Computer Scientist Kyle Rector, the “"Sun & Wind” is multidisciplinary team of faculty in the University of Iowa Public Digital Arts Cluster representing emerging technologies, sculpture, digital media in performance, dance, accessibility, computer science, mechanical and industrial engineering, and conceptual and community-based practice. The team also includes Dana Keeton, a photographer documenting local conservation properties for the Bur Oak Land Trust. If green-lighted, the team looks forward to working closely with Center staff to ensure that all aspects of the project are sustainable and within the available budget. In consultation with Center Staff the team will also create a website that provides information on the project and on renewable energy resources in Iowa. 1.

Meredith Ringel Morris, Intern Mentor, merrie@microsoft.com, prefers email (as specified on her website) Images of Previous Works: 1. The Oregon Project: In this work, I invented the idea of changing the audio interpretation of a painting based on a person’s proximity from the painting, with a goal of benefitting patrons who are blind or low vision. I worked on this project with Neel Joshi and Meredith Ringel Morris at Microsoft Research. The installation that was developed by Keith Salmon, Dan Thornton, and Graham Bryon from this project was displayed on October 9th in Seattle, WA. 2. Eyes-Free Yoga: In this work, I invented an exercise game for people who are blind or low vision to learn yoga. This system has no screen, and provides detailed verbal instructions and real-time personalized feedback for yoga postures based on a 3D camera (Microsoft Kinect). I collaborated on this project with Julie Kientz, Richard Ladner, and Cynthia Bennett. 3. Incloodle (see figure below): In this work, I collaborated on a project to explore how to encourage children who are neurodiverse and neurotypical to play with one another. This was project was led by Kiley Sobel, in a collaboration with myself, Susan Evans, and Julie Kientz. We presented a pair of children (one neurodiverse, one neurotypical) with a camera taking application, and gave them the tasks of taking fun pictures together. We learned that if the camera taking application required both of the children’s faces to be visible, it encouraged cooperation if they were not cooperating otherwise. 1 Stephen Baek Assistant Professor 2130 Seamans Center, Iowa City, IA 52242 (319) 384-0810 stephen-baek@uiowa.edu | http://www.stephenbaek.com (a) Professional Preparation Seoul National University Seoul, Korea Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering B.S.

Attach images of previous works to include in the application See attachment TURN (2013) - 3D Volume Drawing on a Potter’s Wheel Since antiquity, potters have been using a horizontal rotating wheel. The potter places a moist lump of clay on it and rotates it with a variable-speed controller. The potter then uses his or her hands or other tools to shape the clay. Potters can also use various tools with different tip shapes to trim or sculpt the clay. The potter’s wheel became widespread not only because of potters’ know-how and the simple shaping process but also because they can use it to materialize their ideas intuitively and straightforwardly. These aspects let them easily create complex, organic shapes. Cho, S., Baek, D., Baek, S., Lee, K., & Bang, H.

GaFinC (2013) Gaze and Finger Control Interface for 3D Model Manipulation Natural and intuitive interfaces for CAD modeling such as hand gesture controls have received a lot of attention recently.However,in spite of its high intuitiveness and familiarity, their use for actual applications has been found to be less comfortable than a conventional mouse interface because of user physical fatigue over long periods of operation. In this paper,we propose an improved gesture control interface for 3D modeling manipulation tasks that possesses conventional interface level usability with low user fatigue while maintaining a high level of intuitive- ness.By analyzing problems associat- ed with previous hand gesture cont- rols in translation, rotation and zoom, we developed a multi-modal control interface GaFinC. GaFinC can track precise hand pos- itions,recognizes several finger gest- ures,and utilizes an independent ga- ze pointing interface for setting the point of interest.To verify the perfor- mance of GaFinC,tests of manipu- lation accuracy and time are conduct- ed and their results are compared with those of a conventional mouse. The comfort and intuitiveness level are also scored by means of user interviews.As a result,although the GaFinC interface posted insufficient performance in accuracy and times compared with a mouse,it shows ap- plicable level performance.Also users found it to be more intuitive than a mouse interface while maintaining a usable level of comfort.

My work combines traditional forms of storytelling with that of cutting-edge, interactive digital media technologies in order to engage the imaginations and hearts of a twenty-first century audience. As a fellow at Arizona State University’s Center for Science and the Imagination I was recognized as a “creative disruptor driving path breaking research, teaching and outreach projects… exploding traditional disciplinary boundaries and bringing new audiences into the conversation about building a better future.” In 2015, I was one of “five visual visionaries” featured in Live Design International magazine’s article on What’s Trending in Content Creation.
