Ubiquitous Computing Systems Aesthetics Championship May 29, 2004

(Free. More Info). Two objects and three environments interact in a single catalytic fashion to yield one aesthetic result. The problem may sound challenging (or challengingly vague), but the electronic artworks on display at this one-night-only competition should be incredibly precise, almost invisibly so in fact. Ubiquitous computing basically refers to a still-emerging field of technology, the kind of digital creations that are so indispensable and integrated into our lives that we almost don't notice them at all. It's not virtual reality, but rather a smoothly functioning, computer-supported reality. Tonight, umbicomp crews from SF, NYC, and Berlin converge to explore the future of such subtle technology.
