body think

The Inter-Arts Office is pleased to announce the recipients of its
2008 ArtLab initiative. The successful projects are:

Thinking Through the Body

Collaboration of artists Jonathan Duckworth, George Khut, Somaya
Langley, Lizzie Muller, Garth Paine and Catherine Truman,
investigating the use and potential of touch and movement in
body-focused interactive art. The group will use a variety of
body-sensing technologies to explore the possibilities of interactive
art that links technical experimentation and artistic expression.

under observation

"under observation" - a reworked multimedia interactive addressing video surveillance and society

this was presented as part of the paper "percieving the outsider" at the unaustralia conference last december.

day of wisp

yesterday i attended the final day of the Workshop on Interactive Systems in Performing Arts (WISP), as part of the HCSNet Summer Fest. At this point in time, it's right up my alley as I'm doing more and more performances using interactive systems or alternative HCIs.

Good to see/hear what's happening at select international locations and throughout Australia - in a range of different scenarios, by people with a range of different artistic backgrounds...
