In September 2008, the University of Art and Design Helsinki (TaiK) released issue 35 of their Working Paper series, edited by me (together with Blanca Acuña). The title is: “Digital Tools – A New Way to Interact with the World” and contains five papers on that theme by authors from Media Lab Helsinki (TaiK’s school of digital design).

AVOL (AudioVisual OnLine) is an audiovisual project by Video Jack (André Carrilho and Nuno N. Correia) that allows for the combination of virtual objects to create an integrated sound and image experience. It also aims to explore new ways to access and interact with music.

Event: Lev Manovitch Lecture, “Interaction as an Aesthetic Event”
Place: Tallinn University, Estonia
Date: 8/10/2007
1. Abstract of Lecture
How do designers of information technology understand the interaction between the users and devices? How do they design user interfaces? This question is important if we want to talk about integration of architecture and information technology. I my talk I will analyze the recent shift in information technology design. Contrary to ten years ago, today the designers no longer try to make the interfaces invisible. Instead, the interaction is treated as an event – as opposed to “non-event”, as in the previous “invisible interface” paradigm. Put differently, using personal information devices is now conceived as a carefully orchestrated experience, rather than only a means to an end. I will discuss different aspects of this new interface paradigm using the examples of OSX, LG Chocolate, and iPhone.

Abstract
The main objective of the research is to create a tool, entitled “iAVo (Interactive Audio-Visual Objects)”, which allows the integration of visuals in electronic music performances, and to assess the effectiveness of the application regarding the audience of these performances. This tool should provide a visual feedback to real-time sound manipulation and allow an adequate level of integrated audio-visual creative expression. Qualitative and quantitative methods will be used to gather and examine data from the audience of performances conducted in the course of the research. The tool will be analyzed within the theoretical frameworks of media studies, interaction design and history of new media art.

I find Inception and Shutter Island similar in many ways. Both have good ideas and are very well directed, but become too standard and fail.September 03, 2010
Watched Inception last night. Really enjoyed the 25% or so of the movie with no shooting or bombing. The rest was too Matrix.September 03, 2010
