The Spring 2011 Design and Technology Salon brings together practitioners and scholars involved in the global possibilities for projection, video, and 3D mapping. With a focus on current events, recent uprisings, and natural disasters, mapping will be explored as a political, social, and cultural activity capable of localizing ideologies as much as providing access to space outside of them. Presentations and discussions with: Bassel Safadi: Software developer, 3D technical director - open source development - latest work includes: 3D photo realistic reconstruction of old city of palmyra (Syria), real time visualization, development of a web-programming framework (i.e., aikiframework). Sadafi will be joining us via Skype from Syria. http://www.aikiframework.org Barry Threw : Global developer of cultural projects involving cultural ecology, interactive media, immersive environments - currently supports surround cinema with Recombinant Media Labs - produces interactive media with Obscura Digital - free culture projects with Fabricatorz. www.barrythrew.com Karl Nelson : Dual degree student at SFAI - MA thesis on the expanding vocabulary of video mapping platform - currently uses pico projectors and small sculptural objects to create subtle vignettes of urban life.
