Estas jornadas tienen como objetivo presentar proyectos artísticos y trabajos científicos y de investigación sobre robótica como PaCo el Poeta Automático Callejero, de Carlos Corpa y Ana-García Serrano, el POEtic-Cube, de Raquel Paricio y J. Manuel Moreno Aróstegui, o José el Robot Autista, de Ricardo Iglesias y Gerald Kogler.
Es de alguna manera la continuación del ciclo de tertulias “Panorámica robótica: ciencia y arte de aquí”.

Xavier Mañosa actually presents his fantastic ceramic creations at London’s handled with care exposition as part of
london design festival 2007. Designboom is reporting from the event. With my little help there now exists a virtual home for apparatu.com.

Desde el 10 de Agosto hasta el 2 de Septiembre el Centro Cultural Recoleta de Buenos Aires muestra Resplandores, Poéticas analógicas y digitales. Esta exposición propone una mirada contemporánea sobre los usos artísticos de la tecnología. Junto con Ricardo Iglesias y Mario Ruiz exponemos La rebelión de las máquinas, una instalación de dos robots controlados por el microprocesador Arduino que a su vez es un primer prototipo de José, el robot autista.

Dentro del ciclo Agosto Digital del Centro Cultural Español habrá talleres de Introducción a la robótica en Buenos Aires y en Córdoba.

Here a small selection of texts reviewing or mentioning our work:

Finally I’m back doing a Processing project and decided to do it with Eclipse to have features like code completion and code templates of this professional IDE. After reading this forum post and this blog posts it was really an easy job to get started. Here are the steps I did:

12 motorcycle couriers in São Paulo report their daily lives using camera-phones and publish photos and videos to canal*MOTOBOY. In weekly meetings they discuss their shots and decide which topics to cover. All this creates an interesting an authentic view of street life at São Paulo. This project from zexe.net is part of “Colectivos transmiten desde teléfonos moviles” (collectives transmit by mobile phones) initiated by Catalan artist Antoni Abad and programmed by Eugenio Tisselli.

I got involved programming a simple smartphone client application to automatically geotag photos and videos with GPS position. After failing getting access to GPS by Java I had to do coding in C# for Windows Mobile. I’m really looking forward to open mobile phones like OpenMoko and free Java stacks for mobile Linux devices like JaLiMO.

jsPictureShow is a simple to use pictureshow written in javascript. actually there are a lot of pictureshows out there but I often needed really simple one as part of any website with fotos. this testpage should give you an idea about what it does.

El festival ZEMOS98 celebra del 19 al 25 de marzo 2007 su 9ª edición por diversos espacios de Sevilla. Dentro del PANEL DE CONTROL presentamos nuestra instalación InTheDark cual se va a mostrar en la sede oficial del festival, en el Monasterio de San Clemente:

“Existen inevitables lugares comunes a la hora de abordar el tema de la vigilancia, desde la idea de panóptico (Bentham – Foucault) hasta la novela de G. Orwell, “1984”. El PANEL DE CONTROL que hemos querido componer mediante este proyecto pretende dar acceso a toda una serie de prácticas que tienen como punto de partida un contexto inmediato de control, pero que contemplan en perspectiva esa “claustrópolis” -de la que habla Virilio– en relación a la vigilancia global.”
