Refimprove date December 2009 In sound and music production , sonic artifact , or simply artifact , refers to sonic material that is accidental or unwanted, resulting from the editing or manipulation of a sound. Because there are always technical restrictions in the way a sound can be recorded in the case of acoustic music acoustic sounds or designed in the case of sound synthesis synthesised or processed sounds , sonic errors often occur. These errors are termed artifacts or sound sonic artifacts , and may be pleasing or displeasing. A sonic artifact is sometimes a type of digital artifact , and in some cases is the result of data compression not to be confused with audio compression , which also may create sonic artifacts . Often an artifact is deliberately produced for creative reasons. For example to introduce a change in timbre of the original sound or to create a sense of cultural or stylistic context. Editing processes that deliberately produce artifacts often involve technical experimentation. A good example of the deliberate creation of sonic artifacts is the addition of grainy pops and clicks to a recent recording in order to make it sound like a vintage vinyl record . Flanging and distortion were originally regarded as sonic artifacts as time passed they became a valued part of pop music production methods.

A digital Artifact error artifact is any undesired alteration in data introduced in a digital process by an involved technique and or technology. Possible causes Hardware malfunction In computer graphics, visual artifact s may be generated whenever a hardware component such as the processor, memory chip, cabling malfunctions, etc. causing data corruption. Malfunction may be caused by physical damage, overheating, insufficient voltage sometimes due to GPU overclocking , etc. Common types of hardware artifacts are Texture mapping texture corruption and T vertices in 3D graphics, and pixelization in MPEG compressed video. Software malfunction Similarly to hardware malfunction, artifacts may be caused by software issues such as bugs in the algorithms, such as decoding encoding introducing artifacts into audio or video, or a poor pseudo random number generator would introduce artifacts into statistical research models. Compression artifact Compression Controlled amounts of unwanted information may be generated as a result of the use of lossy compression techniques. One of such cases are the artifacts seen in JPEG and MPEG compression algorithms. Aliasing Digital imprecision generated in the process of converting analog information into digital space due to the limited granularity of digital numbering space.

It is set in a future approximately 3,000 years hence, in a galaxy largely colonized by humans but divided into disparate polities who strive against each other in a manner similar to that of modern day nations. Once such group, the Comity, discovers a planet that may be the first evidence of nonhuman intelligent life. The Comity mounts an expedition to investigate this world, and certain of the other groups attempt to interfere in various ways and for various reasons.

Cultural probes are appropriate when you need to gather information from users with minimal influence on their actions, or when the process or event you re exploring takes place intermittently or over a long period. For example, you could use cultural probes to explore how patients feel over the weeks or months following a surgical procedure, or how traveling salespeople manage their work.
