3. The Holiday New Media Slam is scheduled for Friday, 12/10 from 1:30 – 4:30 in the NMI (5th
floor of the bank of America Building in downtown Athens). This is our chance to reflect on what
we have learned and experienced over the last four months – and have fun. We are still working
on the details, but here is a list of highlights of the day.
-Election Connection Presentation – the personal correspondent.
Cingular gave 5 NMI students camera phones and told them to cover the elections. They took
pictures, texted in stories, and recorded audio. The students and experts are going to discuss
what we learned.
-Designing for Cell Phones – AppForge’s Crossfire.
Tom Cona’s design class undertook a first in the NMI – designing real projects to run on the most
mobile platform of all – the cell phone. Tom will tell us how he did it with AppForge’s Crossfire
development too.
-WAGz 2.0 – BelAir Networks.
It was just 2 years ago that we launched the Wireless Athens Georgia Zone (WAGz) at the SLAM.
We are now completing a complete rehaul of the system using brand new state of the art
technology from BelAir Networks. Come see how this new system works.
-Managing Mobile – iAnywhere’s Afaria.
We have learned the hard way that managing mobile devices is a bear. This semester we
implemented a new tool, Afaria, to help out. Our own Dave Crouch will show how this system
keeps our PDAs and laptops up-to-date and working.
-The Next Mobile Media – HP show off.
In the last year we have seen cool cellphones and wild PDAs. But what if they merged? HP will
show us their latest solution to convergence.
-What are they doing with that CellPhone! – New research release!
This semester the Mobile Media Scholars in the NMI have completed a ground-breaking study in
how people are actually using their cellphones. And they used cellphones to gather the data with
text messaging (complements of Cingular). Come hear the surprising results.

5. Ideas - Call for Participation
iDMAa IDEAS is a showcase for creative projects, works of art, and thought-provoking applications
of digital media in both artistic and cutting-edge industrial contexts that reflect novel approaches
to the relationship between media tools and content. The exhibition is something between an art
gallery, a showcase of new ideas, and a playroom, with some resemblances to a ward for brilliantly
unstable people. iDEAs is what it is named – a platform for ideas - art and projects that go beyond
the medium and into the realm of creative thought that will provide fodder for interaction with
iDMAa attendees.
Last year, projects for iDMAa iDEAs included a virtual interactive landscape, a roaming robot poet
better known as the Electro-Linguistic Imaginator, desktop interactive poems, an artistic video
game, a hand made book, wall hung images, and an online documentary of folk artists, to name a
select few.
We will consider:
-desktop interactive works
-self contained web works
-time based work (video, 2d and 3d animation, stop action)
-digital installation, both interactive and not
-performance
-sound installations
-framed wall hung images
-sculptural works
-kiosks
Special Note: Although we encourage complex and innovative constructs, participants are
responsible for providing all necessary equipment and labor.
