Really cool to see some sophisticated work from Graz! The design Studio Innocad and 13&9 had some really interesting projects combing several disciplines.
L7. Ursula Tischner
This was a very fascinating lecture to me. It started quite shocking with a lot of devastating facts about our lifestyles. Not necessarily new, but still like a punch in the face when you get to see the hard facts. Personally, I have also thought a lot about this and even asked the question if I am even studying the right thing when you see all the negative consequences that the profession partly could be held responsible for.
IDD . the short ones
Altogether I liked the collection of lectures. They have truly widen my horizon. Below there are short summaries and comments for the first six lectures.
L1. Andrey Sudarikov
This was a very interesting workshop and lecture! The portfolio of Playdisplay has some really advanced projects, and it was fascinating to hear about how it is to work as a designer in Russia. I liked the starightforwardness of the workshop, and it was fascinating to see the procedure working with projects of that size.
Vis Insita – NIME
Reading through several papers at the NIME archive, the title Expressive potentials of motion capture in the Vis Insita musical performance by Bazoge et. al . catched my attention. It is about using optical motion capture technology with passive infrared markers (MoCap) to influence the sound in the live-performance Vis Insita.
