Locative Media: Rautatieasema returns
"The deep-local Helsinki culture of mobility, systems and networks is manifested at the site of Rautatieasema (Railway Station). With it's interior, exterior, surrounding subterranean public-spaces, it is a centrepoint of urban Finland; A cartographic and temporal framework for partings, convergences, paths and destinations, all wrapped up in objective data and personal story. The tangible, intangible, physical and informatic.. The static and mobile.."
The presentation will speak of ways of engaging and documenting the site of 'Rautatieasema' at the Locative Media workshops at the Pixelache Festival of Electronic Arts and Subcultures in 2004, and forthcoming in 2006.
1575.42 MHz
With friendly support of NKA (National Cultural Funds) and IHM (Ministry of Informatics and Communication) Nextlab together with its partners Hydromatic and Rational has developed an object, a 6 arm robot, which constantly tracks Global Positioning System satellites. Every arm of the sculpture follows the orbit of one of 24 celestial bodies through the horizon, so it moves and changes its appearence permanently.
Since the development process is as important as the result itself, we would like to share our thoughts and our work, from the first experiments through different testing phases until finishing the installation in autumn 2005.

Project "Corpora" is a model of intelligent processing behavior emerging
from a collection of autonomous components. Rather than dictate the
design from the top down, only the basic components are created and
allowed to reconfigure via a framework of open inputs. This structure
could be connected to topographic parameters, weather conditions, human law, and so on.
In this version, inputs are connected to a real-time image of the sky.
Project "Corpora" will take measurements of the brightness and air flow
from clouds and influence each autonomous "super-eye".
Will be shown in The exhibition "Open Nature" in NTT Inter Comunication Center April 2005.
