Xpo: UNCONTAINABLE & Untitled. Suivi: Sniff, Scrape, Crawl - Part 2. Bring­ing to­gether artists, pro­gram­mers and the­o­rists, these in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary pan­els will look at how sur­veil­lance and data-min­ing tech­nolo­gies shape and in­flu­ence our lives and the con­se­quences they have on our civil lib­er­ties.

Dates: Tues­day, 20 Sep­tem­ber, 2011 - 13:00 - 14:30 Chair: Renée Turner. AYMERIC MANSOUX. Naked on Pluto. FLOSS+Art. Puredyne. Suivi: Sniff, Scrape, Crawl. Bringing together artists, programmers and theorists, these interdisciplinary panels will look at how surveillance and data-mining technologies shape and influence our lives and the consequences they have on our civil liberties.

Dates: Tuesday, 20 September, 2011 - 09:00 - 10:30 Chair: Renée Turner We are living in a time of unprecedented surveillance, but unlike the ominous spectre of Orwell’s Big Brother, where power is clearly defined and always palpable, today’s methods of information gathering are much more subtle and woven into the fabric of our everyday life. Through the use of seemingly innocuous algorithms Amazon tells us which books we might like, Google tracks our queries to perfect more accurate results, and Last.fm connects us to people with similar music tastes. Immersed in social media, we commit to legally binding contracts by agreeing to ‘terms of use’. “Sniff, Scrape, Crawl…” is an ongoing interdisciplinary research project. Paper Abstracts by Dr. My meta is your data Benji. BIRGIT BACHLER: The Discrete Dialogue Network. The Discrete Dialogue Network is a telephony-based communication network for leaving anonymous voice messages to strangers in public space.

For the full project description please visit www.discretedialoguenetwork.org This network proposes an alternative to the flatness of common online social networks. It is a medium that works outside the business of profile pictures, status updates and “Like”-buttons. People can connect by leaving anonymous voice messages in public space and listen to what has been previously recorded. Constant.

Workshop: Cosmopolitics of Food Interactions: Design Fiction on Food Cults. We will build design prototypes and document design fiction related to future “diet-tribes” and “food-cults” that use emergent technologies for novel dining and social practices related to food.

Dates: Monday, 19 September, 2011 - 10:00 - 18:00 Secret Cooks Dinner Sous Vide Dinner in Singapore Workshop Leader: Denisa Kera, denisa [at] nus.edu.sg2nd Leader: Marc Tuters, mtuters [at] gmail.com In this workshop we would like to rethink the relation between food and technology and experiment with future metabolic exchanges that are biological, technological and political at the same time.

Workshop: Labster. Labster project aims at creating an online, interactive map, in order to offer personal narratives related to the worldwide Art and Technology DIY culture.

In the first phase of the project, narrative texts are collected without a standard data input process to catch site of a wide range of terms, notions, definitions of lab’s practices, ecosystems and lab-life.

PiNG. A lab for collecting theories of medialabs. Suivi: Zones of Contact and Fields of Consistency in Electronic Literature. This panel will ex­plore the re­la­tion­ship be­tween crit­i­cism and cre­ative prac­tice in elec­tronic lit­er­a­ture.

Par­tic­i­pants will dis­cuss the po­ten­tials of and lim­its to lit­er­ary crit­i­cism in the realm of dig­i­tal po­et­ics and nar­ra­tive. Born Digital by Stephanie Strickland. E-poetry relies on code for its creation, preservation, and display: there is no way to experience a work of e-literature unless a computer is running it—reading it and perhaps also generating it.

This “rule” is important for what it rules out: e-books, digitized versions of print works, and other word-processed documents, on- or offscreen. Today all communication is computer-mediated, except for face-to-face encounters and handwritten, typewritten, or letterpress sheets. Print books are made from digital files, as are newspapers and films. Print is but one form of digital output. The Good Captain (@goodcaptain) sur Twitter. Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice. Suivi: Media Art Explores Image Histories: New Tools For Our Field. Dates: Fri­day, 16 Sep­tem­ber, 2011 - 10:45 - 11:45 The evo­lu­tion of media art has a long his­tory and now a new tech­no­log­i­cal va­ri­ety has ap­peared.

How­ever, this art can­not be fully un­der­stood with­out its his­tory; "depth of field" analy­ses of im­ages can play an im­por­tant role in fa­cil­i­tat­ing our po­lit­i­cal and aes­thetic analy­sis of the pre­sent. The video doc­u­men­ta­tion of Oliver Grau's keynote speech Media Art Ex­plores Image His­to­ries: New Tools For Our Field at ISEA2011 is avail­able on­line in five parts. Suivi: Hackerspaces, DIYbio and citizen science: the rise of tinkering and prototype culture. The global spread of alternative R&D places outside the universities and corporate labs offers an integrated model for art and science cooperation and public participation in science.

These places (Hackerspaces, FabLabs, Maker communities) and projects (DIYbio) offer a direct involvement of citizens in the R&D process in term of translational and participatory research.
