Book Description
In Art Effects Carlos Fausto explores the interplay between indigenous material culture and ontology in ritual contexts, interpreting the agency of artifacts and indigenous presences and addressing major themes in anthropological theory and art history to study ritual images in the widest sense. Fausto delves into analyses of the body, aerophones, ritual masks, and anthropomorphic effigies while making a broad comparison between Amerindian visual regimes and the Christian imagistic tradition. Drawing on his extensive fieldwork in Amazonia, Fausto offers a rich tapestry of inductive theorizing in understanding anthropology's most complex subjects of analysis, such as praxis and materiality, ontology and belief, the power of images and mimesis, anthropomorphism and zoomorphism, and animism and posthumanism. Art Effects also brims with suggestive, hemispheric comparisons of South American and North American indigenous masks. In this tantalizing interdisciplinary work with echoes of Franz Boas, Pierre Clastres, and Claude Lévi-Strauss, among others, Fausto asks: how do objects and ritual images acquire their efficacy and affect human beings?

Book Description
Laboratory Imaging and Photography: Best Practices for Photomicrography and More is the definitive guide to the production of scientific images. Inside, the reader will find an overview of the theory and practice of laboratory photography, along with useful approaches to choosing equipment, handling samples, and working with microscopic subjects. Drawing from over 150 years of combined experience in the field, the authors outline methods of properly capturing, processing and archiving the images that are essential to scientific research. Also included are chapters on applied close-up photography, artificial light photography and the optics used in today’s laboratory environment, with detailed entries on light, confocal and scanning electron microscopy. A lab manual for the digital era, this peerless reference book explains how to record visual data accurately in an industry where a photograph can serve to establish a scientific fact. Key features include: Over 200 full-color photographs and illustrations A condensed history of scientific photography Tips on using the Adobe Creative Suite for scientific applications A cheat sheet of best practices Methods used in computational photography

Book Description
Examination of the 500-year history of interactive art. The autor portrays Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Kandinsky, Mondriaan and Paul Klee as great media theorists who laid the foundations for today's interactive art, whose models are still used today in video art, machine art, digital art, media art and even "the art formerly known as media art." At the same time, Mulder shows how visual culture has failed to connect to contemporary art.

Book Description
This report announces the completion of an advanced laboratory for image and video processing that will allow UTSA faculty and students to do complex analysis of images and videos. Such image analysis is of critical interest to both U.S. military and civilian institutions as the Air Force, Army, Navy, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The laboratory is complete. It consist of a powerful 4 processor SGI machine and a number of workstations connected by a high speed interconnect system. The laboratory is being used for computer-intensive processing of immense volumes of image and video data, developing innovative algorithms, and evaluating sophisticated algorithms. It allows the UTSA team to develop processing architectures, and design parallel architectures, circuits, and devices. Further the lab allows us to conduct significant numerical studies that exploits innovative massively parallel image detection algorithms, wherein compute-intensive classification/recognition techniques will be improved by concurrently processing multiple images thereby increasing the detection rates and reducing false alarms.
