... just by way of introduction: My name is Oren Lieberman, expat american (for 12 or so years), most recently a resident of Germany (Berlin) for 10 years, and currently find myself in Glasgow (for the last 2 years) as a lecturer in Architecture at Strathclyde University. My interests are varied; however, crossovers with ambitters might be found in my investigations into the relevance of underlying structures, metaphors, metonyms, etc. in electric space to an understanding of, making of, and learning through (education) of haptic space. These include concepts such as Levels Of Detail, object-orientation, 'tagging'. I have been most recently looking at the use of moving diagrams as analogous to clusterings of learning concepts. In addition, and my ears perked up in Eric's talk at the recent CCA conference, I have been looking at the notion of 'phatic space' for the last 5 or so years (particularly in architecture), and am currently trying to put a paper out on it with regard to both the realms of the haptic as well as the digital.
I feel that conferences afford possibilities of collaboration with interesting people, and look forward to continuing some of the conversations begun at the CCA. I do however, share Gair's recently posted point that "Perhaps at next talk it might be an idea to change the ratio of discussion a bit. instead of people talking at length about their work and then trying frantically to fit in responses/overview/ etc, what about very short individual presentations and more time in a relaxed way to go into ramifications." I would be very interested in speaking to people who might be interested in the (digital) arts- practices::education::networkStuff relationship ... or any other contiguous area of work ...
