Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) allow the creation of fascinating new types of user interfaces, and are beginning to show significant impact on industry and society. The field is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together signal processing, computer vision, computer graphics, user interfaces, human factors, wearable computing, mobile computing, computer networks, displays, sensors, to name just some of the most impor- tant influences. MR/AR concepts are applicable to a wide range of applications. Since 1998, ISMAR and its forerunner events, IWAR/ISAR and ISMR, have been the premier forums in this vital field.
Science and Technology combines work in computer vision, computer graphics, user interfaces, wearable computing, mobile computing, displays, and sensors. The growing interest in M&AR applications is creating exciting new challenges for research in all of these areas.
Arts, Media and Humanities invites artists, designers, architects, urbanists, and scholars to explore the potential of Mixed and Augmented Reality within their respective fields.

4-7 May 2011: THE ENDLESS END. The 9th International Conference of the European Academy of Design Porto, Portugal
DEADLINE EXTENDED
Abstract submission until SEPTEMBER 20, 2010
Submit abstracts by email to: endlessend2011@gmail.com
Due to various requests, the deadline for abstract submission for EAD2011 has been extended: September 20, 2010.
The European Academy of Design, the University of Porto and ID+, Institute for Research in Design, Media and Culture, invite you to the 9th EAD International Design Conference: The Endless End.
The conference offers a forum for design academics, researchers, practitioners, thinkers and industry representatives to meet, exchange ideas and share new knowledge and insights across the fields of design. The conference includes keynote lectures, papers, posters and an exhibition of practice-based design research. The language of the conference is English. All documentation and related media will be in English.
There is a sense of vertigo permeating contemporary culture as a whole, and design in particular. So much so, that we often find ourselves wondering if design as we have known it still matters.
Design seems to have lost its universe of focus, branching exponentially into a multitude of concerns and activities formerly situated well beyond its scope. Likewise, design seems to be the new interest of so many professionals situated outside its area of expertise; not long ago it seemed like design was being courted, and maybe even actively cultivating, a territorial ambiguity that has kept its professionals worried, to say the least. Design now speaks of street culture and cutting-edge technology, museums and iPhone apps, just as it has spoken of campaign posters, haute couture, heavy industries, exercises in kitsch and typography.
This dissipation of a discernible territory of practice could seem like a loss at first, until we gradually came to understand that Design is, after all and despite the contextual noise, a deeply human activity, and, as such, any circumscription of ist potential would, in itself, be an artifice, an operational and transitory device; and that, rather than being devalued by this apparent dilution of its area of expert operation, Design suddenly has the opportunity to expand and mature as far as ist context, content and purpose are concerned.

Making Design Matter!

What kinds of perspectives and alternatives are needed? In which ways can we develop the discipline and practice? How does design research matter?
Nordes 2011 invites contributions that share: (more…)

Neue Ausstellungsräume für Kunst!
“Kreis4ator”
Jeder ist ein Kurator
Die Menschen kommen nicht zur Kunst, sondern die Kunst kommt zu den Menschen.
Die Idee ist, das man selber Ladenlokale im Kreis 4 anfrägt ob sie eins/mehrere Kunstwerke ausstellen und so die Läden als Ausstellungsorte nutzt und im Austausch dafür, Produkte/Objekte/Dienstleistungen von diesen Läden mitnimmt und damit eine Ausstellung in den Räumen von Starkart aufbaut. Der Aufbau der Objekte aus den Läden findet am Tag der Vernissage statt, am 4 September. Zu Beginn der Vernissage um 17 Uhr sind die Räume komplett leer, dann wird die Ausstellung nach und nach langsam aufgebaut. Die Besucher der Vernissage können dann live miterleben wie die Ausstellung entsteht. (more…)
