ABSTRACT
Making Visible the Invisible is a six-screen, dynamic data visualization artwork at the Seattle Public Library. It visualizes patrons' library checkouts received by the hour through four different animations to give a sense of community interests. The artwork was activated in September 2005 for a 10-year operation and was extended until 2019. As one of the longest-running media arts projects based on live, continuous data, the work has presented significant challenges regarding robustness and durability over time. We review the motivation, design of the system, backup plan, maintenance and novel strategies for a decades-long media artwork.

A JPEG-based statistically invisible steganography
ICIMCS '11: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Internet Multimedia Computing and ServiceThe objective of steganography is to implement covert communication by hiding data in digital files such that there is no indication of the existence of hidden data; so an ideal steganographic system should be able to withstand all steganalysis methods--...
Adaptive visible/invisible watermarking scheme in wavelet domain using SURF technique
A novel adaptive visible/invisible watermarking scheme for digital images in wavelet domain is proposed in this paper. In this proposed scheme, the scaling factor is calculated adaptively through the parameters obtained from the most prominent region of ...
Making the Invisible Visible: Design to Support the Documentation of Participatory Arts Experiences
CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe explore how digital technology might support the documentation of experiences of participatory arts engagement. During a fourteen session workshop series, we worked with artists, project managers, support workers and participants to explore the ...
