Session: A Space-Time of Ubiquity and Embeddedness/A Sensation of Ubicomp, Art and Culture

Fusing Bodies: A Consideration of Techno-Spliced Gestures in Interactive Installations
Author: Nina Waisman
Session: A Space-Time of Ubiquity and Embeddedness/A Sensation of Ubicomp, Art and Culture
In the piece presented in this talk, Nina examines the connection between gestures, bodies and sound. She describes an installation piece in which the body is thought of as a vast system of transducers, actuated by powers in the environments it encounters. The visitor's body becomes a transducer of other bodies' energies. As people move through the piece installed in a museum, they connected sonically to other bodies.

In the Shadow of the Cell Phone
Author: Lone Koefoed Hansen
Session: A Space-Time of Ubiquity and Embeddedness/A Sensation of Ubicomp, Art and Culture
People have argued that mobile devices make life permanent, mappable and viewable. In this talk, the author asks, "What is being made permanent?"
Tracking Transience is a piece in which the artist tracks his own life at all times, primarily using his mobile phone, and put it online so that everyone can know all there is to know about him. The interplay between media and mediated life is unclear. The documentation escapes life and creates its own. We see a lot of things about his life but at the same time, we hardly see anything about him at all. It's as if we are only seeing his shadow.
The mobile phone is like a shadow because it follows us around but at the same time, it protects us as a shelter would. Using mobile media to capture the ephemeral aspects of life. It shelters the artist from the spectator because we only see an outline and not the full picture of his life.
The author leaves us with the question, "Is this characteristic of how we live life through mobile media?"

Re:Cycle - A Generative Ambient Video Engine
Authors: Jim Bizzocchi, Belgacem Ben Youssef, Brian Quan, Wakiko Suzuki, Majid Bagheri and Bernhard Riecke
Session: A Space-Time of Ubiquity and Embeddedness/A Sensation of Ubicomp, Art and Culture
The goal of this project is to create an ambient work that will work indefinitely while minimizing repetitive sequences. The tradeoff of using a recombinant aesthetic to generate the video is that it sacrifices aesthetic control.
Ambient experiences privileges the viewer, giving the viewer the choice of when to look at the video.
