Materializing New Media: Embodiment […]

Cymatics, the study of ‘wave phenomena’, or sound vibrations and their harmonically resonant properties in matter is an area of scientific research which has enjoyed a few brief and spasmodic periods of interest, but often with quasi-scientific and quasi-mystical and spiritual leanings. Whether or not one wants to pursue the relationship of wave phenomena to […]

ABC’s Radio National has recently launched an online collaborative social media project entitled ‘Pool’. The project is a collaboration between ABC Radio National and RMIT, UTS and Wollongong Uni (and some involvement from COFA) and uses the open-source Drupal Platform (Content Management / Blogging / Collaborative Authoring Environment). The Pool project is notable, from the […]

Screens have even been incorporated into […]

It’s a wet and cold afternoon in early spring as I slip through the doors of the Tin Sheds on Sydney’s roaring City Road. The physical geography of so many thoroughfares in this city is ugly and anti-pedestrian – long waits between multiple traffic lights to cross the road; bus stops exposing commuters to the […]

I want to start to explore and develop the relations between neurological understandings of synaesthesia and sensory modalities on the one hand, and some recent developments in new media arts/aesthetics and cross-processing digital signal, on the other. I think that there are certain similarities between the ways in which neurologists explain synaesthesia and the ways […]

Sitting in a Montréal hotel room, reading the excellent Sher Doruff’s (of KeyWorx, for one thing) article on collaboration and emergence, I came across a reference to DataCloud2. This might be a useful tool for our own database building.
DataCloud2 is ‘information space containing a vast collection […]
