New Media Meeting 07 is getting closer. This years theme is “Digital Media and Arts in Urban Environments” - integration and the usage of digital media technology and arts in urban surroundings. I’m really impressed by the program, especially considering that this is just the second year the festival is running. Some of the highlights are a onedotzero showcase, installations and a workshop from Zach Lieberman and Theo Watson and the French VJ collective Play together with dAta. New Media Meeting is well on its way to become one of the most important new media events in Scandinavia. The dates are September 21-22 and the location is Norrköping, Sweden…

Last year me, Carl-Johan Rosén and Marcus Appelback held a Processing workshop at NMM. This year Zach and Theo will host an openFrameworks workshop. I’m sure it will be really cool and I would so much have liked to participate somehow. Unfortunately it collides with the kick-off of the Man Machine II project which I will be working with this autumn / winter (more about that later)…

If you’re in Stockholm tomorrow you have to choose one. I choose Sally.

Artist talks tomorrow at 14:00. Kentridge at Moderna Museet , Mann at Kulturhuset

openFrameworks, a C++ framework for writing creative code, is about to be launched at http://www.openframeworks.cc.

Pictures, results and material from the DIY - Computation as a creative medium workshop are now available here (in swedish).

On 1-2 December I will hold a workshop at the New Media Meeting in Norrköping, Sweden, together with Carl-Johan Rosén and Markus Appelbäck. The workshop is titled “Do It Yourself - Computation As A Creative Medium” and is arranged by NVIS, Norrköping Visualization and Interaction Studio.

During two intensive days we will be experimenting with video- and sound interaction in processing. The idea is to support artists with simple, inexpensive yet powerful tools that they can use to create interactive installations. We will be using Processing and computers with cameras and microphones and possibly also Arduino boards and sensors.
