pylon artists Steve Symons and Jen Southern at the New Forms Festival,
Vancouver, BC Canada, 14 ­ 28 October 2004
www.newformsfestival.com

Symons and Southern will be contributing independently to this yearıs
festival. Symons will be exhibiting aura, a new sonic installation and
Southern (along with Jen Hamilton) will be presenting the paper, Distance
Made Good: Installations Using GPS to Chart Local Topographies at the
conference on 16 October.

aura ­ The stuff around the stuff around you
Steve Symons
 
aura is a sonic multi-user augmented reality that allows users to effect a
personal audio landscape through their actions within a defined space and in
doing so, they also alter the vista for other users.  By focusing on
non-verbal dialogue and communication, participants are encouraged to work
together to create sonic tapestries through their relative movements.
  
Augmented reality involves the overlaying of digital information onto real
space. By moving through the real environment, users experience the digital
information at the location to which it refers. The aura project takes this
even further by rejecting physical interfaces (mouse, keyboard, screen), in
favour of directional augmented reality to create a seamless, naturalistic
experience.
 
Walking through the designated space wearing headphones and carrying an aura
roving unit (Personal Digital Assistant [PDA] augmented to access user
location and heading) provides full spatial listening that encourages the
creation of ³sculptures of the mind².  Each usersı location and heading is
rendered audible to other participants within a 3 dimensional sound-scape
that blurs the real world and artistic intervention.  As users move they
cause shifts in their own and the other usersı sonic experience.
 
The content emerges from the interaction between participants.  Actions by
one user that may result in a pleasant affect may not carry over to other
usersı experiences. Through manipulating the sound-scape heard by individual
roving units, the work seeks to question assumptions of shared language and
cultural references.
 
aura will be at the Roundhouse, Vancouver, Canada as part of the New Forms
Festival 14th ­ 28th October.

If you are attending the festival and would like to meet up with Steve
Symons to discuss the project further, please contact him directly:

Distance Made Good: Installations Using GPS to Chart Local Topographies
Jen Hamilton and Jen Southern
Old and New Forms Conference, 16 October: New Forms Festival 2004
 
This paper discusses the collaborative installation works of Jen Hamilton
(CA) and Jen Southern (UK). For this paper, specific texts by Michel De
Certeau are used to explore the nature of GPS and walking as a process of
discovery in its relationship to lived environments.

If you are attending the festival and would like to meet up with Jen
Southern to discuss her work, please contact her directly:
Jen Southern <[log in to unmask]>

Symons and Southern are member artists of pylon, a pilot project to support
the development and dissemination of work by a small group of new media
installation artists. For further information about pylon, please visit the
website: www.pylon.tv or contact Michelle Hirschhhorn, Project Development
