Re: [NetBehaviour] Potentially Harmful

2016-05-25 Thread lara 
we had recently a conversation on LGM list about this - broadcasting not
suitable for photo sensitive people - there's some UK based advice on it
here on flashing images that may cause harm to viewers:

There is a very famous case in Japan, of a children's anime which created 
seizures in children; later it was shown on a newscast and even more 
people had them. I've always had to be careful with my own work which has 
flickered at times. - Alan

  I wouldn't have thought of that either but stripes moving at
  speed will
  flash. This is like a car driving through the shadows cast by
  tree
  branches on a sunny day.

  You've created art that is resistant to media distribution.

  In 2016.

  That's awesome!

  And potential problems are identified by machine -

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harding_test

  Which makes this an example of algorithmic critique as well.

  So to answer your question - more energetic examples of
  glitch/new media
  would need a certificate.  I wonder if institutions that collect
  such
  art have access to Harding testing?

I wouldn't have thought of that either but stripes moving at speed will
flash. This is like a car driving through the shadows cast by tree

You've created art that is resistant to media distribution.

In 2016.

That's awesome!

And potential problems are identified by machine -

Which makes this an example of algorithmic critique as well.

So to answer your question - more energetic examples of glitch/new media
