Dave Murray-Rust is a researcher in Informatics at the

University of Edinburgh with a PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Music. Hiswork centres around computational systems that model and interact withhumans, including social computation, modelling of music as a

communicative process, tangible and multitouch interfaces and models ofhuman actions on landscapes and their impacts on ecosystems. He has alsocreated internationally exhibited interactive installations, using technology toexplore the interface between art and science.

Dave talked at the ASTI Workshop Event in Warsaw on Monday 4th March

2013. Below is his presentation.

• Physical systems haverichness and depth, and

transparency.• Can it be preserved?

• Performance ecosystem – where’s the interface 

• Laying on hands, gettingcovered in pixels

• Accidental hydrology – different timescales
