The Harlot’s Charter establishes a code of practice for immersive experiential film. It  provides a set of statements – some obvious, some more provocative – and culminates with the Vow of Promiscuity that will incite debates around film, media and culture. It offers a framework for immersive experiential film to emerge, offering an understanding of how people experience environments, cultures and society in relation to immersive filmic experiences.

Here we present Multiverse, a camera-based 3D performance environment for one person which allows the performer to trigger a large number of cyclical parameter values that are used to control digital frequency modulation and granular synthesis engines, as well as sound effects such as combfiltering, reverberation and spatial distribution.

This paper brings together perspectives of the ICMC 2007 ArtAbilitation Panel on non-formal rehabilitation via immersive interactive music environments. Issues covered are sound therapy and music therapy, musical topologies, brainwave control and research methodology.

This paper is a work-in progress-study about music perception in action using SOUND=SPACE, an interactive musical instrument. Since 2008, almost fifty five S=S workshops and two performances took place at Casa da Música -Education Service, Porto, Portugal. With no age, specific abilities or musical training requirements for participants, this non-formal learning environment has been a privileged laboratory not only for observing human behaviour, but also to understand how our choices and actions in an interactive space impact upon the quality of our music listening. In the new Laboratory of Music and Communication in Infancy and Early Childhood, we now intend to design and test distinct musical stimuli for 6 to 9 year old children, in order to understand their perceptual behaviour.

From primitive society to modern civilization, circular device has been the main modeling style of the traditional ceramic arts. Circular device triggered out partition decoration, and consequently gave rise to blankleaving decoration in form of horizontal ribbon and vertical geometry partition. From germination of blank-leaving onpainted potteries to its modern evolution of traditional ceramics, blank-leaving witnessed the changes of the times and of its evolution from utensils to artisic devices in all previous dynasties. This paper intends to study blank-leaving, its generation, evolution, characteristics and traces of development in order to justify that "Changing with the evolution of shape of utensils" and "The unification of utensils and Dao" are the main internal causes of blank-leaving, its generation and evolution.

Pattern design in real life is a complex optimization challenge that objective function can not express explicitly, and can be classified as an implicit target optimization problem. Owing to the fact that the objective function in implicit target optimization problem can not be completely structured, the traditional intelligent decision optimization method is inapplicable. This paper proposes an interactive genetic algorithm based on user preference adaptive fitness, in which users actively participate in optimization and take their subjective evaluation value as the adaptive fitness of evolutionary individuals. On the basis of adjusting the tone coordination degree of ceramic disc pattern, the improved method gives the calculation of user interest degree and style similarity, and completes the establishment of user preference model. The individual similarity calculation of the algorithm integrates the user preference information, making the calculation result more objective. In the experiment, the grain genes of ceramic disc pattern can be divided into two types: main body and border, both of which can be encoded by 16-bit binary code strings. And the weight values of style, tone collocation and structure were set respectively, and the ceramic disc patterns of modern fashion and fresh styles were obtained. In addition, the algorithm performance comparison is also completed. The experimental results show that with the progress of evolution, the midpoint and average width of the fitness of the population decrease, and the population quality is improved. Our algorithm can generate ceramic disc patterns of different styles, and the algorithm can obtain more satisfactory solutions in less evolutionary generations, which speeds up the algorithm's convergence speed and shows better evolutionary optimization ability.
