What Is And What Is Not A Virtual Human? More Than An Influencer And A Fashion Statement? | A Conversation With Digital Creative Writer, Specializing In Content For Virtual Influencers, Astrid Hiort | Redefining Society Podcast With Marco Ciappelli Jul 15, 2022

Show notes

Influencers help brands to sell products by creating content on social media — the concept is certainly not new. How about virtual ones? It depends on what we assume "virtual" means because, in the advertising field, it is not new either. The technology makes this different, but humans are still in the machine.

The point is that testimonials have been around since the beginning of advertising, as such virtual ones. You can think of celebrities, authorities in the field, fictional characters, and cartoon characters. As technology has evolved, so have the techniques to create and make them more believable, likable, engaging, relatable, and even more real.

Nowadays, there is a tendency in our society — well, marketing is responsible for a lot of that hype — to use the words Artificial Intelligence, Augmented, and Virtual Reality, even when it is not precisely that. Nevertheless, our society is moving faster on the technology highway, and some blurriness is justified. Sometimes.

So these virtual influencers, also called virtual humans — what are they, and, most of all, what are not? What do they do, and what they could do?

Maybe they are not exactly sentient, but there are human that makes them seems so.

Confused? We were too. So we invited on the show Astrid Hiort, a digital creative and journalist, specializing in content for virtual influencers and digital fashion.

Join us, or maybe our digital twins?

Both In Video Games And Movies There’s A Complicated, And Yet So Creative, Relationship Between Storytelling & Technology | A Conversation With Rafael Brown And Carey D'Souza (Part 2) | Audio Signals Podcast With Marco Ciappelli & Sean Martin Jul 10, 2022

Show notes

It was a dark and stormy night … Ok, what happened? But, wait — How stormy? Lightning? Thunders? How dark? Where?

You could leave that to the listener/reader's imagination when you tell a story, but when you need to visualize it, how you render it will lead the audience into the story.

In this episode, we welcome back Rafael and Carey to continue our videogame and storytelling conversation we started last month [ https://audiosignals.simplecast.com/episodes/games-blockchain-cloud-storytelling-and-metaverse-a-conversation-with-rafael-brown-and-carey-dsouza-audio-signals-podcast-with-marco-ciappelli-sean-martin ]

We started with some old-school Arcade Games talks and how the evolution of technology has changed how we can build scripts and stories for games and movies. Of course, there are many parallels and divergences in the gaming and movie industry, but there is a big lesson on how knowing the technology you have at hand can help or damage the story you choose to tell.

We also discuss the differences between large and indie projects and the best environment to promote creativity outside the box: budgets, time pressure, team size, available technology, a good story, and what else can add to the perfect mix that can promote innovation and genius?

Is the book always better than the movie? Or the game? Or what is it that makes great? Maybe it is the correct adaptation to the medium used, and sometimes maybe is even better to tell a partially different story — BladeRunner case, anyone?!

We can say that Marshall McLuhan was right: "The medium is the message" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_medium_is_the_message]

BTW, did you watch Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers? [ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3513500/ ]
Well, according to Rafael, it should be on your list!

Enjoy this conversation, catch up on the first one, and stay tuned for more!

"Where is Everybody?" The Enduring Problem of Fermi's Paradox | Stories From Space Podcast With Matthew S Williams Jul 02, 2022

Show notes

In 1950, physicist Enrico Fermi posed the question that launched a thousand explanations. "Where is Everybody?" Where are the extraterrestrial civilizations that are supposed to be out there?

Addressing that question requires immense research, further studies, and (above all) that we confront how little we know about life and intelligence in the Universe.
