International Community for Auditory Display

Hands-on workshop on 23 June 2008 at IRCAM (Paris, France).
Organizers: Karmen Franinovic, Lalya Gaye, Frauke Behrendt
Workshop website: http://sonicinteraction.wordpress.com/

Deadline for call for expressions of interest: 06 June 2008

This one day, hands-on workshop will be divided in fours parts:
warm-up exercises, creative idea generation, concept exploration
through bodystorming and final presentation and discussion. The
workshop is aimed at an ICAD audience, but welcomes a wide range of
participants with various backgrounds such as artists, designers,
musicians, programmers, cultural and media studies scholars, etc. No
previous technical knowledge or design experience is required. The
workshop will give participants the opportunity to explore key aspects
of tangible interaction and continuous sonic feedback, all in an
activity-based way: the fact that the workshop consists of low-tech
small group exercises and interaction-focused creative activities
instead of paper presentations or technology tutorials, invites
participants to have an active role and to engage all senses in the
exploration of this type of situated sonic interaction. The focus is
taken away from technology itself and turned instead towards the
situated activities of using technology.

If you would like to participate in this workshop, please e-mail an
expression of interest to sonicinteraction at googlemail dot com by 6
June 2008, as places are limited.
