The 4th annual Subtle Technologies Conference is an opportunity for scientists and artists to come together and share each other's language in those areas that still need definitions and explanations. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for the cross-pollination of ideas. The conference kicks off on Thursday, May 17, and continues until Sunday afternoon, May 20. If you're a member, come by InterAccess on either Saturday, April 28, or Saturday, May 12, between noon and 5 p.m. to purchase your pass.
New members are welcome.
The development of complex communication spaces, life environments and economic models is an interplay of technical, social, and artistic forces - Mixed Realities of Art, Science and Technology. The design of a Mixed Reality Architecture, which connects processes in virtual space to the social environments and cultural practices of real places, presents challenges to technologists, scientists and artists alike. In such an architecture the basic design elements are networked structures for new forms of collaborative work and knowledge discovery, human-centred interaction and awareness, media spaces and advanced interfaces. At cast01 scientists will present technologies and infrastructures that address these challenges. Artists will present aesthetic concepts of digital culture and new interactive media formats.
