« SonicDrift at Techno-Ecologies & Piksel11 »

the memelab is please to announce we will be taking SonicDrift on the road this November, to bring it to use in two separate public workshops. We're looking forward to exploring the possibilities of our new locative media Android app, especially in workshops concerning sound ecology, interactivity, and sense of place.  

First, we're off to Techno-Ecologies in Riga, Latvia with our public workshop on November 4.  We're excited about the prospect of discussing the relationship between the artificial and natural as pertains to hand held technology and its increasing use in everyday life.  

Then, later in November, we're travelling to Bergen, Norway for the Piksel11 Festival.  Their emphasis on open-source tehcnology makes SonicDrift a good fit, since it was developed in Processing.  We look forward to a public workshop (November 19) where we can work with people around a choosen theme and develop a sound walk or sonic game that tests the boundaries of SonicDrift's aesthetic and interactive possibilities.

Both workshops are free to the public - if you happen to be in either city for the various festivals, we'd love to see you there! We will be posting more details on the time, place, and registration details presently.

Once these events are completed, we plan to take SonicDrift out of beta mode and release it - along with the source code - on our website.  Stay tuned for updates and instructions on how to install and start using the app.
