PLAN EVENT

ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts) London UK

Tues 1st and Wed 2nd February 2005
10am-6pm (music 8pm-1am Tuesday)

A two day event bringing together leading international figures to review 
the emerging fields of locative and pervasive media.

Wireless and locative technologies are enabling people to break away from 
traditional computer interfaces. Mobile devices are mediating new kinds of 
social interaction and responding to physical location and context.

What kinds of creative, social, economic and political expression become 
possible when every device we carry, the fabric of the urban environment 
and even the contours of the Earth become a digital canvas?

The event launches a new international network (PLAN), bringing together 
artists, activists, hardware hackers, bloggers, game programmers, free 
network builders, semantic web philosophers, cartographers, economists, 
architects, and university and industry researchers.

Speakers include Duncan Campbell, Anne Galloway, Matthew Chalmers, Matt 
Adams, Bill Gaver, Eyal Weizman, Katherine Moriwaki, Sally Jane Norman, 
Giles Lane, Usman Haque, Franz Wunschel and the Exyzt collective, Richard 
Hull, Jo Walsh, Schuyler Erle, Teri Rueb, Minna Tarkka, Tapio Makela, RIXC, 
Pete Gomes, Saul Albert, Susan Kennard, Michael Longford, Steve Benford, 
Drew Hemment, Ben Russell.
[Full list of speakers below]

Music in the bar from Xela (City Centre Offices, Type Records), XFM 
Flo-Motion DJ Nick Luscombe and Apachi61.

PLAN is supported by EPSRC and led by Nottingham's Mixed Reality Lab, with 
partners including Futuresonic (UK), Banff (Canada) and M-cult (Finland).

The event is open to the public. Event tickets are priced at £1.50 per day 
or £3 for two days to cover the ICA daily membership. Please book early to

THE NETWORK

------------

The Pervasive and Locative Arts Network (PLAN) is a new international and 
interdisciplinary research network in pervasive media and locative media 
funded as part of the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council 
(EPSRC) Culture & Creativity programme. The network will bring together 
practising artists, technology developers and ethnographers with the aim of 
advancing interdisciplinary understanding and building consortia for future 
collaborative projects. It will be of relevance to people working in the 
arts, games, education, tourism, heritage, science and engineering.

You are invited to attend an initial two day workshop that will launch the 
network, review the state of the art, bring key players together, and make 
initial contacts. The event will also aim to identify a range of specific 
interests that can lead to the formation of sub-groups within the network.
