Test_Lab: Artistic Interfaces

Test_Lab is a bi-monthly public event organized by V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media that provides an informal setting for the presentation, demonstration, testing, and discussion of artistic research and development (aRt&D).


V2_ Ground floor, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam. March 12, 2009, 8 p.m. Admission: free.
In this edition of Test_Lab, the outcome of artistic experiments in (counter-) intuitive Artistic Interfaces will be elaborated upon by interaction maker and researcher Kristina Andersen. While designers aim to advance interfaces to more intuitive use, through notions such as metaphor, artists often take a radically different approach, by incorporating counter-intuitive responses. This tension will be exemplified through demonstrations of the intuitive software design of Watch That Sound (Jacques van de Veerdonk and V2_Lab), a preview of the adaptive physical space of Liquid Space 6.0 (Studio Roosegaarde), and the body interface and tangible interaction prototypes of Dark Matter (Tom Heene and the Center for User Experience Research, KU Leuven) and Cubebrowser (Ludwig Zeller). The audience, in the tradition of Test_Lab, is once again invited to actively engage with the demonstrated works and put their use to the test.Full program description: www.v2.nlThis event will be streamed live at http://live.v2.nlKristina Andersenwww.lockergirl.comThe Watch That Sound tool is a co-production between Jacques van de Veerdonk and V2_Lab. www.watchthatsound.nlCubeBrowser is a project by Ludwig Zeller in collaboration with Martin Nawrath, Nando Nkrumah, Bernd Voss, Charlotte Krauss, Andreas Muxel, Heinz Nink and Lasse Scherffig.www.cubebrowser.deDark Matter is a project initiated by media artist Tom Heene and the Center for User Experience Research - CUO (KU Leuven, Dries De Roeck & Dirk Bollen).
