Bildkultur gegen Sprachkultur

Prof. Herbert W. Franke

The modern possibilities of image processing, preferably computer-aided graphics, allows us to express our language visually as well as spoken. The talk by Herbert W. Franke examines the reasons behind this situation as well as the problematic impacts grows as the value of knowledge is getting more essential for our existence. This knowledge has to be represented to our reality as objective and comprehensive as possible. Herbert W. Franke will show many examples to the information value of visual representations, especially where the traditional representation failed. Indicating the path to the future: Obviously, there is a change to a visual age.

The fascination of the unexpected

LIA

In LIA’s talk she will show her very personal approach to programming as an artist: start with a certain idea but taking different routes on the way. She will demonstrate how, during the development of her work, nothing can be predicted for sure, and anything can happen (within a predefined range of possibilities!).

Inquisitive devices

Kate Hartman

We are rapidly reinventing the ways in which we relate to each other and the world around us. Inquisitive devices speak to needs and longings not currently represented in existing device culture. What gizmo can we use to read our minds, expose our hearts, or settle disputes? What gadget can improve our communication with house plants or buildings or glaciers? This talk will present a collection of prototypes, tools, and methods that allow us to reconsider how we relate and communicate.

New York, New York

Jer Thorpe aka blprnt

In this presentation, Jer will dive deep into two large-scale projects he has worked on over the last year in New York City. First, he’ll talk about Project Cascade, a real-time analytic tool built to examine how New York Times content is shared through Twitter. Second, he’ll discuss his work designing a name arrangement algorithm for the 9/11 Memorial in Manhattan. He’ll walk through collaborative processes, admit to a series of spectacular failures and ultimately show how custom software tools can be made to solve extraordinary problems.
