taipei city futuro house!


futuro

在台灣,多數的人知道台北縣三芝鄉有『飛碟屋』,但前陣子已經拆除,不少人覺得惋惜!其實在北台灣的萬里,也有所謂的的『飛碟屋』。和三芝飛碟屋不 同之處在於,萬里飛碟屋是屬於單層獨棟的,外觀為半圓弧型,環繞著窗戶,就像一台真正的飛碟降落在地球上。我們這次去拍照的天氣是霧濛濛的陰天,讓這裡更 添加了許多神祕感!
不過特別的地方是,這裡還有人居住!恰巧有遇到一家人來這裡,屋主說這裡在民國68年完工時,當時幾乎每一棟飛碟屋都有人居住,比較像社區(三芝偏向於渡假中心),當然還有個社區名字—「太空玲瓏屋」。
屋主很熱情的還讓我們參觀飛碟屋內部裝潢,裡頭有個小客廳、床、衛浴設備樣樣俱全。除了像飛碟的外觀之外,還有方形的建築,四面是大片落地窗,不過幾乎每 戶人家都會用布將窗戶擋住,所以也可以看到些有趣的花布圖案,滿有趣的!不過也因為裡頭還有人居住,所以去拍照時也就不要太打擾人家啦。
自行開車
1. 中山高速公路 →八堵交流道下→左轉基金公路→經萬里至翡翠灣→翡翠灣福華渡假飯店旁的日光路。
2. 北二高速公路 -→萬里交流道下→左轉基金公路→經萬里至翡翠灣→翡翠灣福華渡假飯店旁的日光路。

Chat bot Eugene Goostman passes Turing Test; xFactor chatbox

Chatbot Avatar "Eugene Goostman" Passes Turing Test

As you might have read over the weekend, the 65 year old Turing Test was just passed for the very first time -- but not as often reported, via a "supercomputer", but a chatbot avatar personality named "Eugene Goostman" -- more on him in this video from last year. I think it's fair to call Eugene an avatar since he's designed with a very specific personality (a smartass teen boy). You should typically be able to chat with Eugene at this link, but the site seems to be down due to traffic. I wonder if his chatbot technology can be introduced into virtual worlds. Blue Mars featured a chatbot which scored high on the Turing Test. Then there's chatbots like "Social Autopoiesis" in SL , which I once had a charming, foul-mouthed conversation with:
We totally passed the Turing Test for F Bombs. Update, 6:03pm: On the other hand, maybe Eugene never really passed the Turing Test and maybe it doesn't quite matter if he even did.




I had conversations with a chat box in a Buddha several years ago, its humourous.  And the chat box learns and gets more intelligent as more conversation is produced.  The ai is now relocated here...

Nude descending a staircase - Duchamp's painting into 3d avatar

 http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2007/04/all_about_my_av_2.html

ALL ABOUT MY AVATAR: TASRILL SIEYES

Duchamp_avatar_descending
Maria Rimbaud told me that Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase" had taken on avatar form, and so naturally, I had to know more. 
Duchamp_descended
When I finally caught up with Tasrill Sieyes, the Resident who had made Duchamp's legendary painting come alive, I found out this abstract avatar was only the beginning-- or rather, the summation in a long career of abstract avatars as a medium of expression.  And, of course, a furry with octopus arms. 
After the break, my profile of Tasrill, avatar artist. 
Talking_with_tasrill
On what inspired the Duchamp avatar.
Well, I was showing someone my abstract avatars that I have made, and they mentioned that making a 3D form of Duchamp’s “Nude Descending a Staircase” would be great... [S]he loves the painting and after seeing my other work she wanted to see what it would look like transformed into SL form.
One thing led to another and she commissioned me to make this piece, and I fell in love with making it. She let me retain the design, and even told me I could sell it if I wanted, but I haven't done that… It was [my default avatar for] a few weeks. Then I made some new ones that I wore and I wore some of my more "normal" avatars, too.
How does it feel to embody Duchamp's painting?
It is an interesting feeling. Kind of... freeing. I am not bound by the normal limits of anthropomorphic avatar.  And I can think far more artistically. I don't know [why], to be honest. I don't think too much about how my various bits of art make me feel, I just let them make me feel, and let it wash over me.
By time spent, I have been abstract more then I have been anything else. [M]y first one I made was just an experiment over a year ago. Just to see what I could do with invisibility prims. But then I started talking to people, and I loved the reactions I got. When I am abstract, I don't have to worry about the preconceived notions of gender, race, or anything else but someone’s view on abstract art. I can just be pure intellect.
Is there any one avatar that you feel most personally associated with?
[I]n general I am an avatar vagabond. Moving from one form to another as my whims take me.
There is one that is the most me. I have had it for a year now, and wear it when I am building things.
Tasrill rummages in his inventory, then transforms into his most natural state.  Which, as happens, is this:
Tasrill_as_himself
A spider furry?
Well, a fox with tentacles.
 What's the point of that?
The point of tentacles?
On a fox, yeah.
Well, I like how the look and the things I can do with them. The roleplaying limits of multiple limbs are boundless.
But why on a fox, as opposed to something that makes more biological sense?
[I]t seemed right on this fox. It is a rather frightening and kind of Goth fox, but I wanted something more. Something different. So I grew these tentacles and have loved them ever sinse. It is not like tentacles make much sense on anything but squid and octopuses, and well, getting those to work right on SL is a non-starter. I have tried.
I've wondered about this with furries, a lot of them are not just furries, but robot furries, or Star Trek furries, or something-something furry, as if being a man-sized raccoon wasn't fantastic enough. Why is that, do you think?
Tasrill_as_himself_2
The biggest is that there are only so many furry avatar vendors. Humans have more [avatar adjustment] sliders involving their face then there are furry avi creators, much less the millions of combinations that all those sliders can make.
[A]nother is that some people are so attached to their furry form that it is them in all ways. And adding their other likes to it is just natural to them, as a person adding [attachments] to their human avatar.
Abstact avatars as psychic expression.
I do have some avatars that have a deeper meaning to me. Some emotion I was trying to capture, but with those, I try not and tell what that emotion is.  It either captures the emotion to other people without words, or I didn't do a good enough job on it.
We go outside, where and Tasrill becomes black, barbed, and spikey. 
Tasrill_frustration
What emotion are you trying to express with this?
You know, I won't tell you that. I let the piece stand on its own. Though I can tell you that this one is named Twisted. Since I already give that much away at my little store/gallery.
How do you feel when you wear it?
Twisted, coiled, bound, confused, and other emotions I can't quite name.
I think I have an avatar for most every big feeling I have felt in the last year.
Talking_with_tasrill_frustration
Tasrill, the person behind the abstract avatars.
Right now, I work at a pipe fabrication shop, but I am going back to school to [study] architecture in the Fall. [O]ther then making my shop, I don't build buildings. I like making sculptures and avatars here more.
 Does your architectural skill influence your avatar creation?
Yes, I think it does. Maybe the late nights just fried my brain a bit, but it has taught me to be more creative and adventurous in what I do. I just have to get some emotion out of me, so I start building and then one of these comes out in the end. I just pour my emotions into them and see what comes out.
Your begin creating avatars with no clear form in mind?
Yes, they are best called a stream of consciousness [work]. I just start with making some prims and working it over in different shapes and combinations to see what it looks like. Then one thing becomes two, and then I start making objects and attaching them until I end up with something like this.
Tasrill transforms into another avatar, all crests of chrome surfaces.
Tasrill_abstract
So you made this when you were in a happy mood, and in love like a girl in Spring?
[Laughs] No, very much a different mood. But as to which mood I won't say. I already seem to have given away my other one.
Deep thanks to Maria Rimbaud, who first told me about Tasrill Sieyes' avatar.  See the entire "All About My Avatar" series here
Is there another fascinating avatar out there I should know all about?  E-mail me, or IM Hamlet Au, and tell me more.
