***Reminder***

Please join us this Friday December 6th

Professor George Legrady, of the Art Studio and Media Arts and
Technology Departments will give a talk titled:

"Engaging the audience in interactive digital media arts installations"

The presentation will focus on digital media arts exhibitions that use
computer technology as a means of recording the audience's presence and
movement within the gallery space.

The discussion will include presentation of projects, and issues to
address in the design of such installations. Topics include: Audience
motion study, interface sensing technology, planning around limitations,
designing the interface, creating the audio/visual/mechanical event with
questions about audience activity such as: How does the space influence
the action to be generated? The audience as a group: clustering,
swarming, flocking behavior, and sampling, The individual spectator:
movement in the space: location, movement, timing. Behavior: motivation,
calmness, nervousness, encounters, etc. The second aspect considers the
cultural questions: How can the audience's movements be integrated as a
process in the narrative development? What are some of the consequences
of such environments in terms of the development of "intelligent
spaces"?

Location: The Collaborative Technologies Laboratory (CTL) formerly known
as the Digital Classroom - Trailer 932, directly East of Davidson
Library.  For a map and description see
