STEIM Micro Jamboree - Dec 11 - 14, 2006

STEIM is organising a Micro Jamboree from Dec 11 - 14, bringing  
together specialists in the field of sensor systems and their  
applications. Participating is only possible after registering by  
sending an email to jamboree at steim.nl.The concerts are of course open  
for everyone.
All presenters and performers are very welcome to visit the full  
program.

STEIM's LiSa - current and future developments
Location: STEIM, Achtergracht 19, Amsterdam

Michel Waisvisz and Frank Baldé will present LiSa XC, the LiSa player  
that will run LiSa X setups (without the possibility to edit), and  
that will work as a universal binary on both the PPC and Intel  
processor in Mac computers. Plans for further development of this  
player into a full program will be presented in an informal session,  
where feedback is very welcome.

13:30 Welcome - with coffee / cake
14:00-16:00 LiSa future

STEIM Hardware Meeting - Platforms for connectivity, creativity and  
community
Location: STEIM, Achtergracht 19, Amsterdam

In recent years we have seen a boom in various prototyping sensor  
platforms for artistic use. The idea of interfacing with sensors and  
microcontrollers in the arts is nothing new, however what we see  
different today is that the knowledge and tools to accomplish this  
has become more accessible through various channels and development  
has become ubiquitous.  At STEIM we believe it is an interesting time  
for both the artists and designers to rethink about how technology  
may enhance (or deprive) creativity, and share these thought amongst  
others.
We have invited a handful of developers of sensor platforms to give  
an informal presentation about their work and experience, and have  
planned a roundtable discussion with these developers and an  
Amsterdam based user group. This will be an intimate gathering  
amongst the invited and registered guests of the STEIM Micro-Jamboree.

STEIM Applications Meeting - Presentations about the practice of  
using sensor systems - both hardware and software
Location: STEIM, Achtergracht 19, Amsterdam

Since many years, STEIM has worked together with (groups of) artists  
to realize their projects, most of them dealing with interfacing real- 
life with analog and digital circuitry. For the Micro Jamboree we  
invited some of those artists as well as representatives of other  
institutions to present their projects. After a refreshing lunch  
there will again be a roundtable discussion to exchange ideas about  
the presented projects, and the balance between technology and  
creativity in sensor systems in general.

Participants:
- Per Samuelsson (Sweden) - musician/composer presenting a lecture/ 
performance using two joysticks with junXion and Max/MSP - http:// 
www.persamuelsson.se
- Peter Sinclair and the Locus Sonus research group (Brett Bhalogh,  
Nico Bralet, Lydwine Van der Hulst) (Aix-en-Provence, France) -  
http://www.nujus.net/ http://nujus.net/~locusonus/
- Andrei Smirnov (Moscow, Russia) - lecture/presentation of USB D- 
Sensors, the second generation of Theremin sensors (the 'plug-and- 
play theremin') and their use in other instruments - http:// 
asmir.theremin.ru/
- CK Barlow (Santa Fe, USA) - musician/composer and long-term LiSa  
user presenting a lecture/performance of a live setup with LiSa and  
Max/MSP - http://www.ckbarlow.com/
- Tom Tlalim and Voldemars Johansons (The Hague, NL) - two composers/ 
musicians and (ex)sonologists present QuantaSonic, a project to  
create a 3D controller for sound synthesis and spatialization (using  
a 3-axis accelerometer & gyro sensor) -  http://www.tomtlalim.tk
- Andreas Otto (Luenenburg/Berlin, DE) - musician/composer presenting  
Fello, a STEIM project in cooperation with Florian Grote - Fello is

Concerts

In the STEIM Micro Jamboree this week there will be two concert  
nights, with performances strongly related to STEIM.

On Wednesdaynight we`ll see instrumental electronics in very  
different ways, from commercial joysticks via self-build desktop  
control surfaces to fully developed electronic instruments.
Concert at 20:30h - with TokTek (Tom Verbruggen), Uli Böttcher & Paul  
Hubweber and Christine Sehnaoui & Michel Waisvisz.
