ANNOUNCEMENT

PLAN EVENT

ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts) London UK

Tues 1st and Wed 2nd February 2005
10am-6pm (music 8pm-1am Tuesday)

A two day event bringing together leading international figures to review
the emerging fields of locative and pervasive media.

Wireless and locative technologies are enabling people to break away from
traditional computer interfaces. Mobile devices are mediating new kinds of
social interaction and responding to physical location and context.

What kinds of creative, social, economic and political expression become
possible when every device we carry, the fabric of the urban environment
and even the contours of the Earth become a digital canvas?

The event launches a new international network (PLAN), bringing together
artists, activists, hardware hackers, bloggers, game programmers, free
network builders, semantic web philosophers, cartographers, economists,
architects, and university and industry researchers.

Speakers include Duncan Campbell, Anne Galloway, Matthew Chalmers, Matt
Adams, Bill Gaver, Eyal Weizman, Katherine Moriwaki, Sally Jane Norman,
Giles Lane, Usman Haque, Franz Wunschel and the Exyzt collective, Richard
Hull, Jo Walsh, Schuyler Erle, Teri Rueb, Minna Tarkka, Tapio Makela, RIXC,
Pete Gomes, Saul Albert, Susan Kennard, Michael Longford, Steve Benford,
Drew Hemment, Ben Russell.

partners including Futuresonic (UK), Banff (Canada) and M-cult (Finland).
