Colloquium
1 May 10am – 5pm
Jen Southern will discuss her collaborative projects with Jen Hamilton and Chris St Amand – This collaborative group have a social and tactile approach to technology and work with audiences to explore location and sense of place. Through commissions, exhibitions and residencies they produce installations, performances and websites to explore how new technologies influence the way we inhabit an environment. She will also talk about industry collaborations and the development of new tools for collaborative mapping.
Clive Gillman will discuss the nature of 'commons' - both physical and virtual and how using technology can open up the local dialogues; also contextualising his art practice which reflect the themes of urban visualisation.
Simone O’Callaghan will present her findings from the exhibition and evaluate the ways in which people interacted with the ubiquitous media and its new visual codes of narrative and intimacy.
John Isaacs will talk through S-City VT research and how it provides a common language for the theory of sustainability. How the tool can be used by the wide variety of stakeholders when considering the regeneration of a city.
Mark Shovman will present findings from his research into Visualising Complex Data Sets. By using a haptic interactive virtual environment (HIVE) and the theoretical foundations of gestalt theory of perception to create visualisations, this project aims to create visualisations that enable a user to immediately and effortlessly analyse large complex and multidimensional data sets. By applying rigorous psychophysical methodologies to assess human perception of HIVE-generated visualisations a set of guidelines will be produced for the efficient data visualisation and an extensive knowledge base.
Chaos Computer Club will talk about Blinkenlights created in 2001 as a celebration of its 20th birthday. A light installation in the Haus des Lehrers building at the Alexanderplatz in Berlin transformed its front into a giant monochrome low-resolution computer screen. Some novel uses of the screen were for people to call a number and play Pong via mobile phone or display animations sent in by the public. Other projects include Metalab a non-profit hack space in Vienna offering space for free exchange of information, and collaboration between technical-creative enthusiasts, hackers and founders. http://metalab.at/
Dundee Business will discuss wireless cities; the technology, the logistics, the pros and cons and whether Dundee could become a wireless city.
