Sophie, the Institute's first piece of software, is designed for reading and writing next-generation electronic books. Sophie will facilitate the easy construction of documents that are designed to live on the network and to use multimedia and time in ways that are currently difficult, if not impossible.

INTRODUCTION

In recognition of the pioneering experimental works continually being produced by artists for the internet Soundtoys.net has been established to provide a space for the exhibition of exciting new works by a growing community of audio visual artists, while also providing a forum for discourse around new technologies and the nature of soundtoys. The site is intended to provide a meeting point for this growing community of artists and users, and in addition to the exhibition of audio visual projects, the site contains areas for artists interviews, links to resources, and texts by contributing writers where serious issues around interactive arts, audio visual syhthesis, generative art, and a history of interactivity are discussed. Hopefully it is a fun and entertaining site to visit , while also providing valuable information for all parties.

Do we really attain interaction with today's computers [HCI] or just interaction through computers

words in pictures based on search

After creating Montage-a-google, several people wrote to me suggesting I make a game based on the same technology. Montage-a-google is a simple web app that uses Google's image search to generate a large gridded montage of images based on keywords (search terms) entered by the user. Guess-the-google reverses this process by picking the keywords for you, the player must then guess what keyword made up the image - it's surprisingly addictive.

Richard Brown has a BSc in Computers & Cybernetics and an MA in Fine Art and creates interactive artworks using multi-media technology, computer programming, electronics and interfacing.

This website illustrates interactive artworks I have created over the last seven years.

The works represent the results of an enquiry into the nature of mind and consciousness, concerning concepts of space, time and energy.

This site is dedicated to the forms of art using programs as a first class material. So actual and yet so classical.

TV is Good For You, and Interactive Art is Irritating - ...according to the the New York Times. Specifically, two articles you'll probably either love or hate: from last weekend's magazine, a preview / excerpt of Steven Johnson's upcoming book Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter, on how the complex narratives ...

bang & toggle -> easy way to see what's going on in the patch; test; use it to print values

apple m = status window
number box passes on info when it receives the bang

toggle
- off when 0 (int)
- on for any other int value
- if it gets a float, it truncates the decimal to give 0 or 1 eg 1.57 would give 1; 0.73 would give 0

The workshop will focus on any topics relevant to discuss how Information and Communication Technologies are reshaping the human relationships at the urban level and the public space of our cities. Relevant topics include:

* the integration of digital environments and sustainable physical environment;
* ways forward to effectively design, paln and manage the augmented media-rich city;

This is a companion website for the book Interaction Design: beyond human-computer interaction.

On this site, you'll find some food for thought, and a variety of resources and activities to support your exploration of interaction design. A novel aspect of the site is the inclusion of some interactivities: your chance to learn about interaction design by doing some interaction! These interactivities are designed to get you thinking about some of the issues raised in the book, and we hope you'll find them fun.
