Almost Perfect

http://www.banffcentre.ca/programs/program.aspx?id=532

Almost Perfect is a co-production Lab taking place at the Banff New Media Institute in Canada.

Almost Perfect is a rapid prototyping lab that explores the creation of pervasive mobile media in the Banff region. With the dedicated support of peer advisors, technicians, and production facilities, participants can develop basic to advanced level prototypes in the areas of locative media, site specific work, telematics, audio art, and responsive environments. This residency will also explore the political and social economic contexts of locative media and the wireless spectrum. Almost Perfect is a joint venture between BNMI and HP Bristol. Prototype development will be realized through the use of GPS enabled HP iPAQs and software developed by HP Research Labs Bristol.

Thursday November 30

Directly after Lily's presentation, Patric and I will be holding a short question and answer session on the Website development and community authoring aspect of Mediascapes. We will also be talking about the next stage, so what you will need in order to be able to carry on Mediascapes in your art practices. This will include what hardware and software you will require as well as where you can get help, and starting to develop a Mediascape community.

We hope that you will all be able to join us for this session, as your feedback is highly valued.

Cheers,

Elley and Patric :-)
