As part of Moesgård Museum's new exhibition about runes, the DUL cultural heritage group has created a prototype installation that lets visitors create and decorate their own unique rune stones. The prototype explores user generated content in exhibition spaces and the potential interplay between visitors' everyday engagement and the knowledge presented in museum spaces. The exhibition can be experienced at Moesgård until August 2009.
'Tools for the world to take over itself'. Recursion: the ability of a word, phrase, or constitution - to modifyit's own meaning, is a core conceptual device in software design, geekhumour, legislative politics, and forms of participatory art and design.
Saul Albert, from the London-based art collective 'The People Speak' will discuss some of their techniques and technologies for enabling mobcreativity through convivial discussion and recursive decision-making.
Tuck Leong from the Interaction Design Group at The University of Melbourne visited DUL this week and gave a lecture entitled "Understanding serendipitous experiences when interacting with personal digital content". The work presented is part of his Ph.D. research.
During the climate conference Beyond Kyoto, citizens of Aarhus can engage themselves in the struggle for large-scale climate improvements by using Climate on the Wall, an interactive generator of climate statements that uses Ridehuset, a prominent building in the city centre, as a backdrop.
CO2NFESSION / CO2MMITMENT is an advanced video installation that puts a face on the struggle for climate improvements and gives the citizens of Aarhus a voice to be heard – and seen – throughout the city. The installation is part of the Municipality of Aarhus' campaign CO2030, dedicated to engaging citizens in the efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by the year 2030.
As part of this campaign, the Digital Urban Living research centre, in collaboration with AFA JCDecaux and the Municipality of Aarhus, have developed CO2NFESSION / CO2MMITMENT which offers citizens a chance of dedicating themselves to promoting a greener city.
Lørdag den 7. februar åbnede Skive Kunstmuseum dørene for den digitale kunstudstilling “No Place to Hide”. Udstillingen er kurateret af Kassandra Wellendorf og rummer værker af såvel danske som kendte, internationale kunstnere. Udstillingen er meget vellykket i sin klare tematiske fokusering på overvågning og i sin kombination af større, teknologitunge installationer, f.eks. ”Taken” af David Rokeby, med små, overraskende og tankevækkende værker a la ”Potent Objects” af Camille Utterback. Skive kunstmuseum, der er partner i DUL (Digital Urban Living), har med ”No Place to Hide” formået at skabe en meget seværdig udstilling, der på det varmeste kan anbefales.
ONE IS LISTEN er et værk af Morten Suder Riis (komponist, elektronisk musiker og ph.d. studerende ved IMV), der undersøger de dynamiske ydrepunkter ved vores perception – fra subtil, næsten uhørbart til extremt voldsomt og insisterende. Men ikke kun den auditive sans bliver sat på prøve. Til kompositionen hører også en visuel side, idet 100 små specialfremstillede LED lamper mimer det auditive udtryk. På den måde bliver der skabt en synæstetisk sammenhæng, der bombarderer sanserne. Den visuelle side er lavet med hjælp fra Tobias Ebsen (ph.d. studerende under forskningsprojektet Digital Urban Living) og består af en lang række LED-lamper, der via et specialt fremmestillet computerprogram følger den musikalske udvikling.
Værket opføres af ensemblet Contemporánea den 23 februar kl. 20:00 i Literaturhaus, Møllegade 7, København N.Læs mere på http://www.contemporanea.dk/
