The workshop explored innovative approaches combining principles of media production, tangible interfaces and creative practices from the performing arts.

A summary of results is available here.

Final reflections are available here.

Three types of sessions during two days ensured a balancing between reflective, inspirational and experiential work: theatre performance demos, practical work at the installation and discussions moderated by invited discussants.

In order to inform and motivate the discussions during the two days, the practical sessions will provide opportunities for participants to share an experience around specific design tasks for the development of ubiquitous media. The tasks will be geared around both the design and the use in the venue of a specific interactive installation addressing the language of media ("Plastic Video").

Approaches to tackle with the practical tasks will be introduced in demonstrations that will address notions of performance and creative practices in the performing arts.
