Almost Perfect and Already Gone
The deadline for Almost Perfect is already gone but it will be interesting to see what projects will be developed at this Banff residency that will bring together, amongst others, pervasive mobile media and audio art.
BNMI Co-production Lab: Almost Perfect
Program dates: November 04, 2007 – December 01, 2007
Application deadline: September 21, 2007
Notification date: September 26, 2007
Almost Perfect is a rapid prototyping lab that explores the creation of pervasive mobile media in the Banff region. With the dedicated support of peer advisors, technicians, and production facilities, participants can develop basic to advanced level prototypes in the areas of locative media, site specific work, telematics, audio art, and responsive environments. This residency will also explore the political and social economic contexts of locative media and the wireless spectrum. Almost Perfect is a joint venture between BNMI and HP Bristol. Prototype development will be realized through the use of GPS enabled HP iPAQs and software developed by HP Research Labs Bristol.

Varèse on a GPS sound walk
I was just re-reading some texts in Audio Culture (Cox&Warner 2005),
amongst others “The Liberation of Sound” by Varèse. It struck me how much Varèse’s thoughts resonate with today’s GPS sound walk and audio mapping projects when he uses metaphors of cartography to describe spatialisations of sound. Of course, he was not Read the rest of this entry »
Sonic Navigation with Heelys
“Energy Harvesting Dérive” is a fun audio and visual Heely Hack by Christian Croft and Kate Hartman.
The project was presented at Conflux last week where I had a chance to talk to both of them. They started off with the LED arrows to guide people in a direction; but then realised that it is a bit awkward to look at your shoes while heelying along. So they decided to Read the rest of this entry »
Magic Moments, Butterflies and a GPS Sound Walk
Yesterday, I went out to Spectacle Island in Boston harbour to experience Teri Rueb’s “Core Sample”, an interactive GPS sound walk.
I spent so much longer than planned exploring the island and the sounds, a good indication of how much I loved the piece. I’m taking away a sunburned face as well as some magic moments and daydreams.
Soundwalks always seem to bring Read the rest of this entry »

Network Landscape Class
Here are the slides:
Exploring Network Landscapes via Sound – talk
for my presentation in Teri Rueb’s class Network Landscapes at RISD
Her class is really interesting:
‘How is landscape understood and shaped by the conditions of mobile network society? As artists and designers we can frame this question in light of the history of landscape representation and design. Read the rest of this entry »

Call for Participation
From the phonograph to the mobile phone, sound technology has progressed steadily through the last century. However, non-musical sounds are still often considered as byproducts of artifacts rather than being exploited for their rich intrinsic value. Sound carries information that is perceived and used, often unconsciously, and therefore shapes the overall interaction experience. Read the rest of this entry »
