[syndicate] NewBraveWorld masterclasses, RFID workshop registration open.

[Yves Bernard]

NewBraveWorld,
a series of workshops around Internet of Things, 
Ubicomp and Locative Media is starting !

An "Internet-of-Things" is under construction 
with technologies for unique digital 
identification (RFID), geolocation (GPS), 
embedded computing (ubiquitous or pervasive 
computing) and mobile networking (e.g. wifi, 
wimax, umts/3g). Places and objects become linked 
to digital media which can be everywhere people 
are.

Our digital life and social interactions are 
going to happen through tangible augmented 
objects and our physical environment will become 
the playground of new social and artistic 
behaviors, interventions, actions both in data 
and media spaces.

"New Brave World" proposes 4 workshops exploring 
the roles of artists, designers, media makers and 
creative scientists/developers in this context of 
the merge of digital and physical spaces.

Workshop 1: RFID with Régine Debatty and Daniel van Gils
Workshop 2: Hybrid Scrapyard with Jonah Brucker-Cohen and Katherine Moriwaki
Workshop 3: Talkoo, electronic interventions in 
Urban Context with David Cuartielles
Workshop 4: Geotracing with Simon Pope and Just van den Broecke

Identification (RFID), a technology used to

theoretical introduction through the societal and 
artistic issues of RFID by Régine, and after 
first hands-on experimentation, participants will 
have the possibility to test ideas by building 
RFID prototypes.
