[UCI-Calit2] BodyTech Symposium: Feb 22-23 - REGISTER NOW

[Shellie Nazarenus]

BodyTech Symposium on Embodied Media and Interactive Performance
February 22 and 23
University of California, Irvine
Calit2 Building
http://bodytech.embodied.net

Participants in the BodyTech Symposium at UC Irvine will demonstrate,  
experience and discuss recent developments in the theory and practice  
of embodied media and performance technologies. Rather than  
restricting human-computer interaction to a screen on a desktop with  
keyboard and mouse, this research envisions real-world performative  
environments that foster real-time interactions between people and  
computing technology, incorporating digital media with movement, voice  
and other forms of dynamic expression.

The BodyTech Symposium will bring together technology researchers and  
performing artists from across the US, Canada and Britain to consider  
interactive environments for dance, theatre, music and visual arts.  
Presentations, discussions and demonstrations will facilitate  
developing communication channels between participants and sharing of  
information and ideas. Participants will include performing artists,  
theorists, researchers and technology developers.

Featured projects will include:
* Synchronous Objects for "One Flat Thing, reproduced" -  an  
interactive web project based on the choreographic work of William  
Forsythe
* Texterritory - a theatre/dance project using cell phones as communal  
computational devices
* Ghost in the Machine = an autonomous real-time composition system  
for music, dance and theatre
* Lila - a computer musical instrument for interactive performance
* Active Space - an interactive media programming system for movement

All BodyTech Symposium events will be held in the Calit2 building at  
UC Irvine. Sessions are scheduled 9:00-5:30 on Monday, February 22,  
and 9:00-3:00 on Tuesday, February 23. Refreshments and lunch are  
provided.
