PRESENTATIONS/PERFORMANCES
***Christoph Bartneck / TelMeA Theatre
Christoph Bartneck works as part of the Department of Industrial Design at
the TU/eindhoven. He will be presenting his project TelMeA Theatre. In
cooperation with the ATR Media Information Science Lab in Japan Christoph
has developed the TelMeA Theatre, an asynchronous online community site
where you can talk with other participants through your own avatars. Not
only can you use gestures and facial expressions to communicate, but also
the character agents will speak and interact with each other.
***Wilfried Hou Je Bek / http://www.socialfiction.org /
http://www.socialfiction.org/crystalpunk
Wilfried Hou Je Bek left school at 16 to become an astronaut but this turned
out to be bad careermove and he founded
socialfiction.org<http://socialfiction.org>instead.
Socialfiction.org <http://Socialfiction.org> is a website (obviously) as
well as the organising party behind generative psychogeographical walks,
events and presentations. Right now
socialfiction.org<http://socialfiction.org>is busy running The
Crystalpunk Workshop for Soft Architecture. This
workshop, which principles will be presented during dorkbot, will evolve in
a period of 3 months an empty room from nothingness into unknown states of
technological enhancement. It has an open door policy and everybody is
welcomed to participate in it.
***Enrike Hurtado Mendieta & Thor Magnusson / IXI software /
http://www.ixi-software.net
Enrike Hurtado Mendieta and Thor Magnusson are musicians and programmers who
founded ixi software in year 2000. Ixi software is a collective of people
interested in the creation of musical instruments. The focus is on screen
based graphical user interfaces for open source audio programming languages.
Both physical and virtual interfaces are of interest and on the website
there are 15+ applications that can be downloaded for free. Ixi will talk
about the philosophy behind their work, show some of the instruments,
explain the history of ixi and then discuss
technical or philosophical aspects, all according to what the audience is
most interested in discussing.
***Alexander Rulkens
Alexander Rulkens is a 4th year student in Industrial Design at the
TU/eindhoven. He is constantly searching for answers to questions like: what
is the purpose of design? why do humans have the urge to design the world
around them? why are there so many bad designs? what makes something a good
design anyway? The project he will be presenting is a luminaire built to
allow a user to play with light. Each movement directly influences the
light. Pull it, push it, stretch it, launch it, create the light you want.
*Dorkbot Eindhoven is an initiative of Art & Technology Festival STRP in
collaboration with Studium Generale (TU/e).
