We are getting ready for the biggest gameshow on earth. On the 18th December 2009 DUL's Interface Aesthetics group in collaboration with The People Speak will host a world-changing game show as part of the Copenhagen Climate Forum called “Who Wants to Be…?”: the show where the audience makes up the questions, the answers, and the rules! Details of how to get there are on the Climate Forum website.  The mission: to have fun seeing if a group of people people having fun can make better decisions and raise more money than the politicians at Copenhagen!
Pledge your $10 and get access to the big event on Kickstarter.com:
We have run Talkaokes at Hopenhagen at Rådhuspladsen. It has been a very rich experience with lots of people coming. Images here Tags: aesthetics | digital aesthetics | interface aesthetics |

 The Danish tech radio show Harddisken features Center for Digital Urban Living this week. Host Anders Høeg Nissen (not the guy shown in the picture on the right, that's Henrik Føhns) went exploring among the DUL research projects, especially those relating to the climate change debate. This was what he could fit into the half hour:

Is it just opportunism that art and artists flock around the climate issue? Is it harmful to art to be related to this big issue? Is it a return to dogmatic art with the ‘right’ opinions?
Or is it only natural (sic) and necessary that artists enter the debate? Is it perhaps an integral question to art, that has often been concerned with depicting nature, landscapes, changing realities? Does digital art have a special role or potential?
Read articles (e.g. Søren Pold's "Imaginary Interfaces in the Blue Sky" that argues for the special potential of digital art in relation to climate change) and enter the debate staged around the Rethink exhibitions (SMK, Nikolaj, Den Frie and don’t forget Moesgaard!) here: http://www.rethinkclimate.org/debat/rethink-art/
Digital Urban Living is participating in COP 15 and Rethink with several projects. More about this soon! Tags: digital aesthetics | events | exhibition |
