Presentations: ETech Fest
Jeremy Douglass (U. California San Diego),
Derek Lomas (The Playpower Foundation),
Daniel Rehn (The Playpower Foundation)
Exploring the intersection of 8-bit art, culture, gameplay and learning by playing with open hardware and software.
Matthew Forrest (Social Animal Digitainment Group)
Social Animal Digitainment Studio will offer the attendees of ETech a first look at a groundbreaking new 360º interactive music video featuring Macy Gray and the Deron Johnson Ensemble performing the classic song “Whatever Lola Wants.”
Eric Wilhelm (Instructables.com)
Instructables is the most popular Do It Yourself community on the Internet. The site provides accessible tools and publishing instructions to enable passionate, creative people to share their most innovative projects, recipes, ideas, and hacks
Paul Bartlett (Logical Expression LLC)
Logical Expression collaborated with Uncommon Projects to help create the RFID Fortunebird installation on display at ETech. That project will be showcased along with the rock grinding tool from the Mars Exploration Rovers, a robotic installation built for Diller+Scofidio that was shown at the Whitney Museum, and others.
Leonard Lin (Lensley),
Jaime Macias (Lensley)
We started with a love of the classic photobooth experience, replaced the booth with a more humane cage-free design, and then cranked up the geek with superior optics, realtime display and uploading, and (of course) social network integration. Voila! The Lensley Automatic.
Nick Bilton (The New York Times R&D Labs),
Tom Igoe (Interactive Telecommunications Program, NYU),
Mark Hansen (UCLA)
Plantr's goal is to evangelize sustainable gardening in urban environments, while building social networks, increasing the awareness of ecological processes, and contributing to our micro-level understanding of climate in urban spaces.
James Nick Sears (Independent contractor),
Alex Bisceglie (.)
Pulse is a hacker lab launching a spatial social metrics platform. We build hardware and software tools to track, analyze, and visualize social movement within an environment. The platform relies heavily on open source tools, and said platform will be open sourced itself
in the near future.
Raven Hanna (Made With Molecules)
Yale-trained scientist will show how science and art merge in creative science communication projects. Come by to see pinned microbes, molecule necklaces, neurotransmitter pillows, and an animation featuring plush bacteria musing about origins of life theories.
Kati London (Area/Code),
Britta Riley (Submersible Design>>DrinkPeeDrinkPeeDrinkPee),
Rebecca Bray (Submersible Design)
Most human urine travels untreated into the waterways and is a significant cause of eutrophication, a toxic condition caused by harmful algae blooms in the oceans -- the excess nitrogen and phosphorus in our urine overfeeds algae (like Red Tide) and effectively suffocates fish.
Andrea Vaccari (Senseable City Lab, MIT)
Discover MIT SENSEable City Lab latest research in urban informatics and discuss our projects, from the analysis of social dynamics in urban environments, to the development of prototypes of future interfaces and services for the city and its inhabitants, up to the deployment of urban furniture that crosses the boundaries of architecture to explore the impact of new technologies in urban life.
Tarikh Korula (Uncommon Projects),
Josh Rooke-Ley (Uncommon Projects, LLC.)
Uncommon Projects was tapped to create 20 very special bikes to promote Yahoo!'s Purple campaign. The bikes needed to automatically take photos while being ridden. But they also needed to geotag each photo, upload it to Flickr in real time, work domestically and internationally, weather the elements, survive city riding, and last for weeks on a charge.
Chris Surdi (PowerBeam)
PowerBeam’s patented wireless electricity system uses Powmitters™ and Powceivers™ to deliver power without wires. The optical technology turns electricity into optical power. That power is then beamed across open space into a receiver. Similar to a solar cell, the receiver turns the optical power back into electricity. Whatever device is attached to the receiver is powered without any wires.
Kate Hartman (Interactive Telecommunications Program, NYU),
Rob Faludi (NYU, ITP)
If your clothing could talk, what would it say? The LilyPad XBee is a radio transceiver that you can sew into your garments and accessories to create wireless wearables. From networked pajamas to tools for performance, these sewable radios are opening up a world of new possibilities.
