ICE-NMI wireless art project information session
Monday, February 17 at 3:30 at the New Media Institute

Last fall the New Media Institute(NMI) launched a wireless network in downtown
Athens.  The wireless cloud covers an approximately 24-block area and serves as
the locus for mobile communication research.  This spring ICE will collaborate with
the students and faculty of NMI to produce a group of wireless art projects to be
featured during the Twilight Criterium event on April 26.  The projects will be
designed in collaboration with a team from the NMI capstone class, NMIX 4510,
using wireless web development strategies for hand-held computers.  The project
will allow participants to develop new content and contribute significant research to
an emerging medium that engages concepts of public space, movement,
interactivity, language, time-based and site-specific art, virtual and physical space,
and technology.  An information session for interested participants is scheduled for
Monday, February 17 at 3:30 at the New Media Institute.  Please share the word and
direct inquiries to ICE.
