We use the mobile phone, the mp3 player, and our laptop, in order to gain access to the digital part of our life. In recent years this situation has lead to the creation of new interdisciplinary subjects like Interaction Design or Physical Computing. We live between two worlds, our physical environment and the digital space. Technology and its digital space are our second nature and the interfaces are our points of access to this technosphere. Since artists started working with technology they have been developing interfaces and modes of interaction. The interface itself became an artistic thematic. The project INTERFACE and SOCIETY investigates how artists deal with the transformation of our everyday life through technical interfaces. With the rapid technological development a thoroughly critique of the interface towards society is necessary. The role of the artist is thereby crucial. S/he has the freedom to deal with technologies and interfaces beyond functionality and usability. The project INTERFACE and SOCIETY is looking at this development with a special focus on the artistic contribution. -- INTERFACE and SOCIETY is an umbrella for a range of activities throughout 2006 at Atelier Nord in Oslo.

[spectre] Call for Workshop participation: Mobile Troops - Urban Jungle / Mobile media art / Atelier Nord Oslo
+ Call for workshop participation Mobile Troops - Urban Jungle / Mobile media art Tuesday 12th of September - Friday 15th of September at Atelier Nord Oslo/Norway by Laura Beloff Erich Berger Free participation Application deadline Friday 11th of August Send applications with CV to [EMAIL PROTECTED] + The recent years have witnessed the emergence of mobile and wireless art works in the media arts. The somewhat blurry definition mobile art is commonly used as a reference to works, which are incorporating a mobile device (phone, pda, gps) as a part of the work or which are made to be viewed on a screen of a mobile device. Various mobile devices, wireless networks and the concept of technologically enabeld presence are conditions for this kind of art works. The wide variety of works (locative media, wearables etc) under the category of mobile art share usually at least two similarities, they have a technological component as a vital part of them and they are related to a physical object. Works, which use mobile media as a critical artistic medium are not necessarily always inventing new functions or features for the devices, but are transforming existing possibilities and by doing it they are exposing the characteristics of these devices, networks, and the society using them. Mobile troops ironically points to the fact that we tend to increasingly equip us with all kinds of necessary interfaces for surviving the urban jungle. The electronic car key is as important as mobile phone and credit card. Mobile troops is a workshop about media art which is mobile, (possibly) networked, and experimenting with new ideas and artistic concepts. Utilizing everyday objects and interfaces, like the mobile phone, the workshop introduces strategies, concepts and technologies for artists, designers and practitioners who are interested in mobile art and or working with mobile and networked devices. The workshop will consist of: * Introduction into the theory and history of mobile art * Introduction into the technology of mobile art * Technological infrastructure * Potential for mobile art * Concept development and discussions * Hands on experiments, research and presentations There is no technological preknowledge necessary.

Please sign up by sending an email to i...@bioartsociety.fi until 6th of November. You can few the information below also on our website: https://bioartsociety.fi/posts/growing-cellulose-call-for-workshop-participants The workshop focuses on the aesthetic potential of microbial cellulose (MB) and the philosophical implications of working with leaking, growing, hybrid bodies in artistic practice. MB is a natural polymer which resembles skin and bodily matter. Once dried, it reminds of paper and leather. It is produced by Glucoacetobacter hansenii (G. hansenii) bacteria, a non-pathogenic bacterial strain. Participants will compare laboratory protocols and DIY techniques for cultivating G. hansenii and investigate the aesthetic and design potential of MB in a dedicated prototyping session. Insights into G. hansenii life cycle will promt participants develop innovative ideas, gain specific knowledge, and critically address issues of sustainability, ethics, and aesthetics of working with living organisms. A discussion will follow. The workshop is open to artists, designers, students and everybody who is interested. No prior knowledge is required, however participants with some experience are welcome. 1st day - microbial cellulose: biomedical, artistic, and design applications - G. hansenii cultures: lab & DIY techniques - how to protect cultures from mold and contamination - material observation: fresh and dried MB 2nd day - coating and dying techniques - sketching and prototyping - discussion About Margherita Pevere (Berlin/Helsinki): Deeply fascinated by biological processes, Margherita Pevere is a visual artist and researcher investigating decay and transformation. Her practice features a unique combination of organic and technological materials: she grows bacterial cultures, manipulates paper and photographic film, collects organic relics, and plans to store a digitized collection of memories on bacterial genome.

[spectre] 'Art as We Don't Know It' - a new publication marking the 10th anniversary of the Bioart Society in Helsinki
Dear all, I would like to put your attention to the new publication 'Art as we Don't Know It' edited by Erich Berger, Kira O'Reilly, Kasperi Mäki-Reinikka, Helena Sederholm and published by Aalto Arts Books. The 280 page volume is available as hard copy or as free full pdf download via the Aalto Arts Books online shop: https://shop.aalto.fi/p/1194-art-as-we-dont-know-it/ . The book marks the 10th anniversary of the Bioart Society but instead of looking back we joined forces with Biofilia – Base for Biological Arts to have a glimpse forward and to scan what kind of questions and topics in the realm of bioart, art and its politics could be relevant for our work in the coming years. Art as We Don’t Know It showcases art and research that has grown and flourished within the wider network of both the Bioart Society and Biofilia during the previous decade. The book features a foreword by curator Mónica Bello, and a selection of peer-reviewed articles, personal accounts and interviews, artistic contributions and collaborative projects which illustrate the breadth and diversity of bioart. The resulting book is a tantalising and invaluable indicator of trends, visions and impulses in the field. We have an inspiring line-up of contributors which we are very grateful to for sharing their thoughts, ideas and insights: Markus Schmidt & Nediljko Budisa, Andy Gracie, Adriana Knouf, Marta De Menezes & Luis Graca, Marietta Radomska & Cecilia Åsberg, Crystal Bennes, Bartaku, Erich Berger, Antero Kare, Laura Beloff, Johanna Rotko, Kasperi Mäki-Reinikka, Teemu Lehmusruusu, Antti Tenetz, Ian Ingram & Theun Borssele, Paul Vanouse, Rian Ciela Visscher Hammond, Christina Stadlbauer, Paula Humberg, Denisa Kera, Leena Valkeapää, lifepatch, Jurij Krpan, Anu Osva, Lifepatch, Kristiina Ljokkoi & Tomi Slotte Dufva, Ulla Taipale & Christina Stadlbauer, Margherita Pevere, Heather Davis, Elaine Gan & Terike Haapoja, Ida Bencke, Mari Keski-Korsu, Oron Catts & Ionat Zurr, Kira O'Reilly, Pia Lindman, Helena Sederholm and Lauri Linna and with a foreword by Mónica Bello. The cover features a Yeastogram by Johanna Rotko and the design is made by Safa Hovinen.
