Dear colleagues, I'm organising 'Sounds like Mobility: A Mobile Media, Sound and Music Event' on Tuesday 17th May 2011 at CoDE: The Cultures of the Digital Economy Research Institute at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. It would be great if you might be interested to submit your work and/or attend the event!
Please find more information below and at www.anglia.ac.uk/soundslikemobility I look forward to hearing back from you! It would also be great if you could circulate this email widely. Thank you! All the best, Frauke ------------------------------------------------ Dr. Frauke Behrendt Research Fellow CoDE: The Cultures of the Digital Economy Institute Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge http://www.anglia.ac.uk/ruskin/en/home/microsites/code.html http://www.fraukebehrendt.com http://mobilesound.wordpress.com ------------------------------------------------ Sounds like Mobility: A Mobile Media, Sound and Music Event Tuesday 17th May 2011, CoDE: The Cultures of the Digital Economy Research Institute at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. Sitting down motionless, staring at screens, and focusing on the task at hand are becoming much less common than using media on the go, touching and listening to a device, while also being involved in other activities. In mobile media contexts, alternative sensory modalities increasingly replace the largely visual paradigms of the (both physical and virtual) desktop era. This one-day event examines the role of sound in media interactions as an especially pertinent example of our post-desktop world. It features invited speakers, performances, demos, pecha-kuscha-style short presentations and poster presentations. It takes place in Cambridge (UK) and is organised by CoDE: The Cultures of the Digital Economy Research Institute at Anglia Ruskin University. There is much more to this than iPods and alert sounds. Interactions between various physical contexts, social networks, mobile bodies and networked devices can be mediated in an almost infinite number of ways by sound - and also though sound. Invited experts and selected projects (see call details below) from a wide range of fields illustrate how designers, artists, researchers, businesses and musicians explore the relationship between mobile media and sound/music. The projects presented at this event question our dominant visual/screen culture and map out alternative scenarios for interacting with mobile media that take advantage of alternative sensory modalities, especially sonic ones. Sound also serves as a powerful reminder of the temporal aspects of media interactions, complementing the current focus on 'location' in relation to mobile media. Mobility does not only play out in space, but also over time: bodies and devices moving though spaces at various speeds, rhythms, and times. This event showcases the role of sound in the negotiation of social and intimate interactions as mediated though layers of located and mobile streams of media. CALL We are calling for contributions to this event in the form of pecha-kuscha-style short presentations (20 slides for 20 seconds each) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecha_Kucha), poster presentations, demos and performances. We invite researchers, artists, musicians, designers, businesses, and students to submit their projects using a short template (see below) by 14th April. Notification of acceptance is by 19th April.
