"Big Brother Goes Green: Surveillance for Sustainable Forests" accepted for SXSW

Remember this special request (some months ago...) to vote for my proposal? Yay, the panel that me and Nuno Correia proposed *with Prentiss' expert review collaboration* has been accepted to be part of the 2011 SXSW Interactive Festival in March in Austin!

Thank you so much to all that voted and commented on our proposal at the SXSW panelPicker » Here's the list of confirmed sessions for the 2011 SXSW Interactive Festival with the accepted PanelPicker Proposals titles »




AZ Labs are also spreading the word, and Filipe Cruz posted on this and other labs members good news... unmissable! ;) »

RTiVISS at ACM MM

ACMMM2010-92Presenting RTiVISS at ACM Multimedia Interactive Art Program this year was an awesome experience, a privilege shared with so interesting researchers.


Here's my ACM Multimedia photos selection at Flickr » take a sneak view at the photos, then you get an idea of what happened :)


Now some highlights to some of the opening of the Interactive Art Exhibit "Colorito: An Interactive Renaissance of Color":






and the Interactive Multimedia Computing for Creativity and Expression workshop.


As for the posters sessions, I really enjoyed meeting Ryan Janzen and his performative music interactive installations. Also the FireVolleyball, presented by Sei Ikeda, and meeting Sebastian Mondetand and his MobiTree work gave me the opportunity to add their projects as references to Play with Fire, when developing this RTiVISS interactive installation.


There's no doubt that the whole experience was truly inspiring, I hope that these notes can contribute to describe or recall the experience!

Hug@ree PopUp Setup

Here's some more iterations on the Hug@ree interactive installation tests and implementation for Pop Up for Pop Up Lisbon 2010.

This time, me and Pedro went to the Pop Up City venue Palácio de Santa Catarina (officially, "Palácio de Verride" ;)) for the most diverse final arrangements prior to the last days before the opening.

Take a look at the Hug@ree PopupSetup Flickr set for this stage, where you will get a comprehensive photo report on the work done and have a glympse of what is to come... more soon! :)
