Places and objects become linked to digital media which can be everywhere people are. Our digital life and social interactions are going to happen through tangible augmented objects and our physical environment will become the playground of new social and artistic behaviors, interventions, actions both in data and media spaces. "New Brave World" proposes 4 workshops exploring the roles of artists, designers, media makers and creative scientists/developers in this context of the merge of digital and physical spaces. Dates and detailled descriptions on http://www.imal.org/NewBraveWorld NewBraveWord is produced by iMAL with the support of the Flanders Audiovisual Fund. -- Yves Bernard yb@imal.org asbl iMAL vzw Center for Digital Cultures and Technology 30 Quai des Charbonnages / Koolmijnenkaai 30 1080 Bruxelles/Brussel tel 32 2 410 30 93 http://www.imal.org http://www.erg.be/blogs/artNumeur http://www.i-cult.be From klapidus at aecom.yu.edu Thu May 15 23:56:55 2008 From: klapidus at aecom.yu.edu (Kyle Lapidus) Date: Thu May 15 23:57:10 2008 Subject: [0xff] LoVid at MoMA on Monday May 19 Message-ID: we're doing a performance/screening/presentation at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan this coming monday, may 19. the evening will include a new performance called Video Fingerprints that uses the electrical signals from several people's bodies to create live video and sound. we're quite excited to include signals from friends (listed below) who we expect to have interesting electricity flowing in them.
