Through thought-provoking discussions, 12 faculty-led workshops, and 100+ innovative demos, attendees will explore pressing issues related to digital media and how organizations can operate to foster innovation.
There are plenty of ITPers involved in this event.
WORKSHOPS
Disruption, Hacking, and Collaborative Networked Interaction
Jonah Brucker-Cohen (ITP '00), Assistant Professor, Lehman College, CUNY
Jonah will discuss his work in the theme of “Deconstructing Networks and Disruptive Technologies” in both their physical and online instantiations. He will introduce projects that subvert accepted notions of network interaction from software manipulation to translating virtual processes into the physical world. He will conclude with a live demo that allows members of the audience to participate.
Behind the Scenes Prototyping Interactive Art & Design
Eric Forman (ITP '02), Head of Innovation, Faculty, SVA MFA Interaction Design
The explosion of “Maker” culture has led to an unprecedented flood of new design objects, products, and art experiences. What does it actually look like to build and test new ideas? What are the challenges of making with disparate materials, tools, and technologies? Which of the newly hyped fabrication methods are best, and when are old methods better than new? See behind the scenes with interactive artist/designer Eric Forman how an idea is taken from concept to prototyping to production. Process journeys for several projects will be shown using lasercutting, 3D printing, CNC milling, electronic circuit design, custom software, and old-fashioned woodworking.
Live Interactive Storytelling
Shawn Van Every (ITP '04), Faculty, NYU Interactive Telecommunications Program
How can storytellers use new technologies to create interactive experiences that engage their audiences? In this workshop, Shawn Van Every will demonstrate a live interactive storytelling platform he is developing, describe what he has learned in the process and will offer attendees the ability try it out to develop a story of their own.
