Business To Buttons: New Interaction Techniques

During the BusinessToButtons conference in Malmo, D. Cuartielles will introduce Physical Prototyping as a technique for interaction designers to create new artifacts. The lecture will be on June 12th at about 13.30 at the main conference hall.

Within the same context, but on Saturday June 14th, the 1scale1 team together with TENK's design group will host a workshop in creating a multiplayer wireless game in only four hours. During the session we will introduce the use of microcontrollers and other digital gadgetry in the production of interactive artifacts and software running in a computer as the main game engine.

1scale1 at RagTag

The RagTag workshop was organized by the Performing Pictures group at the Interactive Institute in Stockholm in February this year. David Cuartielles spoke about the latest cases 1scale1 has been working with. You can take a look at the David's  talk documentation that has been released here recently.

The workshop included a series of lectures and practical sessions where practicioners presented ways to deal with technology applied to arts. The main focus was new forms of video both as a representation system, a narrative tool, a technological platform, and a performative tool.

David also collaborated with Bengt Sjolen in hacking several platforms for displaying pictures and moving images. Bengt's talk was very inspiring and was documented here.
