Career Summary

Biography

Marilia Bergamo has been a computer artist and lecturer of Design and Digital Art for the last fifteen years. She graduated in Design and Computer Science and worked with interface design during the beginning of her career. Her work as an educator also began in ​​Interface Design and traditional printed graphics. As an artist, she sought to produce and research art related to interaction, digital images and the concept of evolution and interaction with digital systems. Now her research and production emphasize Art, Poetics and Computer Technology, Complex Systems,  and Design for interactive media. She is working mainly on the following topics: art and digital systems, computer art, artificial life, interaction design, and the creation of multimodal interfaces.

This papers aims to describe the historical introduction of paper prototyping techniques into interface development, what they basically consist of, and how such techniques can be applied on the development of Computer Digital Arts. With some examples applied on Digital Arts graduation courses at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil, this technique has proven to help the development of the artist's intentionality, rather than blocking creativity. It helped students to focus on important concepts that needed to be transmitted by interaction, while usability made the piece friendly where it needed to be friendly. Thus, young art students have been acting in a traditional way when experimenting with materials, not only physically and visually, but also with the interactive environment that should be considered as material in Computer Digital Arts. © 2014 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
