Ecomedia, nieuwe kansen voor duurzaamheidseducatie
2-2-2012

Op 2 februari 2012 vindt Ecomedia plaats, een bijeenkomst gericht op het ontdekken en beoordelen van nieuwe ontwikkelingen en technologieën op het gebied van duurzaamheidseducatie.

Ecomedia is bedoeld voor beleidmakers, medewerkers uit de NME sector en onderwijsprofessionals.

Ecomedia wordt georganiseerd door Creative Learning Lab van Waag Society, in samenwerking met Programma NME, Ministerie EL&I en IVN. Creative Learning Lab onderzoekt nieuwe toepassingen van technologie voor het onderwijs. Programma NME heeft de afgelopen jaren een aantal pilots uitgevoerd waarin het gebruik van nieuwe media in relatie tot duurzaamheid centraal stond. Deze ervaringen willen zij nu delen met een groter publiek.

Tijdens Ecomedia krijgt u de kans om kennis te maken met innovatieve onderwijsprojecten en toepassingen van nieuwe media. Ook gaan we in gesprek over de meerwaarde hiervan voor duurzaamheidseducatie. Bent u op zoek naar nieuwe mogelijkheden om duurzaamheidseducatie te verrijken? Neem dan deel aan deze inspirerende dag!

Programma

* Keynotes van inspirerende, (inter)nationaal bekende sprekers,
* Workshops waarin u nieuwe leermiddelen beoordeelt en leert toepassen,
* Een markt met vernieuwend educatief materiaal,
* App in a Day Lab: Een interactieve ruimte waarin ontwikkelaars samen met deelnemers live aan nieuwe smartphone applicaties werken.

Ellentriek – workshop in Gent, Belgium

Friday, January 6th, 2012

This Ellentriek is about textile, electronics and wireless interaction. We will focus on soft sensors made with textile and on how you can communicate the results of these sensors to an Arduino and/or computer. This data transfer will be wireless, with xbees.

Ellentriek is a series of workshops, often collaborative, where artists can come and work together on their own artistic electronics projects, made with open hardware.

Naomi Kerkhove and her fabulous miniature worlds with needle and wire is a special guest of this session, with her ‘Valies’ project, which premiers in Vooruit in autumn. She will work on the sensor part of her performance during the workshop.

With the following experts:
Marije Baalman – http://www.nescivi.nl/

Enactive spaces – workshop in Amsterdam

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

During the Pattern+Pleasure festival of STEIM the workshop “Enactive Spaces” will be taking place in the Frascati theater in the heart of Amsterdam.

“The rooms and spaces we inhabit are often just an ambient backdrop for our daily activities. How can we step into a dialogue with our environments and make their forms and patterns communicate? How would these spaces behave? In this workshop we will collaboratively explore the potential of the spaces at Frascati theater as a reactive environment with an intelligence of its own. The result of our efforts will be the reinterpretation of the space into a large-scale interactive installation utilizing sound, touch, movement, and light.”

During this 6 hour long workshop, we will transform three sites in Frascati into enactive spaces that react to the presence of humans and changes in the environment, utilising the Sense/Stage technology.

Time: September 26 – 13.00 to 19.00
Location: Frascati theater, Nes 63, Amsterdam

Radio piece on Tinnitus

Friday, May 27th, 2011

My friend Mariagiovanna Nuzzi invited me to collaborate on a sound piece about Tinnitus.
It’s a half hour piece, which will be broadcast on a (very) local radio at the Jan van Eyk academy in Maastricht, on Saturday, May 28, at 7pm.

The piece is a first exploration into the sound world of people with hearing disorders. The sound design in this piece is based on an interview with someone experiencing Tinnitus, describing the sound to me and comparing it to the synthesized sound that I have created.
