*You are invited to share a meal with New Yorkers connected by mobile technology.*
The two host sites are New York based ITP Camp<http://itp.nyu.edu/camp2011/>, Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU and Furtherfield. The goal is to create a co-present experience where two remote groups will share a meal mediated by sonified objects embedded with smartphones. We aim to create a satisfying remote experience through a dinner party. As food is the greatest mediator. * * *Date: June 18th Time: 4pm - 7pm (14:00 - 19:00) Location: Furtherfield, Unit A2, 71 Ashfield Road, **N4 1NY* *The event is limited to 4 diners!* *If you would like to be a telematic dinner guest, contact Pollie Barden at p <[email protected]>ollie.barden[at]gmail.com. * *---------------------------------------------------------* See the Furtherfield Event Post.<http://www.furtherfield.org/community/calendar/calibrated-cuisine-mobile-mobile-dinner-party> *The Schedule:* *4pm - 5pm - "Get you know you" Workshop* - you will be creating sonified object using smartphones with Skype to connect with your London counterpart. *5:00 pm - 5:30pm - Preparation* - heat up food and prepare for the dinner *5:30 pm - 6:30pm - Collaborative Dining* - you will be sharing a meal and hosting your remote guest through the sonified object, embedded with your smartphone, and conversely you will be hosted by your New York City counterpart with your sonified object. *6:30pm - 7:00pm - After dinner drinks and interviews* - Pollie Barden will interview you about your experience and feedback on the workshop and the dinning experience. * Full Details of the Workshop/Dinner Party* * * *NYC Facilitators: Marco Castro and Giana Gonzalez London Facilitators: Pollie Barden and Brittany Lind * ***Workshop Supplies: * *What you will need to bring* *Technology * - * Smartphone:* You will need to bring you smartphone with Skype installed. - * Laptop:* Bring your laptop with Skype installed.

(Let me know if need a webcam for your laptop.) *Craft Supplies* While we will have basic supplies and building materials on hand, here are somethings to consider bringing. - a container that will hold the phone to be the foundation for your object. The container can be plastic, cardboard, etc... - your favorite x-acto knife, or cutting device - any fun items you have laying around that you haven't found a use for yet, might be used: feathers, beads, decorative paper, cardboard, magazines, etc... *The Dinner Party* The dinner party will be formatted in the style of Latitudinal Cuisine<http://www.latitudinalcuisine.com/> (LatiCui). LatiCui cooks food from the longitude corresponding to the day of the year. For June 18th the longitude is 169th day of the year and therefore the 169 longitude. We will be eating from Russia or New Zealand. There will be three courses: Start, Main, Dessert: - 1 guest brings a Starter - 2 guests brings a Main - 1 guest brings Dessert. Each participant will choose which type of dish they will bring. Make (or buy) enough for the four people you with whom you will be dining. At the start of each course, the dinner guest presents their dish and tells why they choose to make/buy it and any other stories. *Research and Documentation* This session is one of a series of telematic dinners that I am running as part of PhD research project. The session will be video documented for data analysis of how the interactions happens among the diners in the co-present and remote spaces. I am looking forward to meeting all the diners and spectators remotely. *If you would like to be a telematic dinner guest, contact Pollie Barden at **p <[email protected]>ollie.barden[at]gmail.com * *See the Furtherfield Event Post.<http://www.furtherfield.org/community/calendar/calibrated-cuisine-mobile-mobile-dinner-party> * *--------------------------------------------------* You can follow the other dinners and research process on The Telematic Dinner Party Blog <http://www.6months.shadiblue.org/>.
