Labmovel leva ao centro de São Paulo o projeto de realidade aumentada Narrative Navigation. Trata-se de um projeto colaborativo de Sander Veenhof e Pixel, no qual podemos criar narrativas sobre pontos da cidade com o uso de um celular, misturando dados históricos e ficção.  O evento ocorreu na Praça Dom José Gaspar, atrás da Biblioteca Mário de Andrade no último domingo (15).

ZERO1 and our community partners are sponsoring a series of calls for participation in the 2012 ZERO1 Biennial, Seeking Silicon Valley. Proposals related to activating underutilized spaces in downtown San Jose’s SoFA District can be submitted by any artist through ArtHERE, a community website and open call platform that matches art proposals with empty spaces. The ZERO1 Emerging Artist Network is a series of calls for California-based emerging artists for projects to be featured in the weekend-long outdoor exhibition during the opening weekend of the ZERO1 Biennial. Artists chosen to receive micro-grants will be invited to participate in a weekend of events dedicated to the development of this new program. Have questions? E-mail opencalls@zero1.org

communication between people and thingsTalk to Me explores the communication between people and things. All objects contain information that goes well beyond their immediate use or appearance. In some cases, objects like cell phones and computers exist to provide us with access to complex systems and networks, behaving as gateways and interpreters. Whether openly and actively, or in subtle, subliminal ways, things talk to us, and designers help us develop and improvise the dialogue.

A machine that knits codes – the “TK 730″ (2011) is a work by the eTextiles Workspace group (Anja Hertenberger, Leonie Urff, Ricardo O’Nascimento and Meg Grant).

What happens when senses are cross-wired in the brain? Can data convey different meanings when interpreted as a purely visual object?  What other ways of interpreting a single piece of data could there be? This is what the TK Series attempts to explore.

Another problem submitted to the Ghana ThinkTank in Corona was that Immigrants feel they are being harassed by police while waiting on the street. One of the solutions we received for this problem was to create informational cards for harassed Immigrants to hand to Police Officers to explain their situation.
