I’ve had a paper accepted for the Digital Art & Culture 2009 conference which takes place at the University of California, Irvine in December. My paper, The construction of locative situations : locative media and the Situationist International, recuperation or redux? will be delivered under
A Space-Time of Ubiquity and Embeddedness This theme addresses the question of how material and affective bodies interface with the informational environments of contemporary mixed realities involving ubiquitous, pervasive, or tangible computing as well as implementations of real-time communicational systems. How do we, as artist-engineers, software developers, interaction designers, and critical theorists articulate, analyze, and evaluate the spatial and temporal ‘interlacings,’ ‘augmentations,’ and ‘hybridizations’ at stake in the mixed realities of specific digital art projects? When ubiquity tends towards ‘calmly’ intelligent embeddedness in the various folds and events of the lifeworld, does its effect remain irrevocably prior to or beyond embodied human awareness and affect? Or does calm embeddedness rather solicit more intense forms of temporalization, affective and sensate involvement, perceptual recognition, and conceptual explicitation?
Just browsing through the list of speakers it certainly promises to be an engaging couple of days in California and the winter sun will help. I’ll post my abstract shortly.
