The Ambience conference focuses on the intersections and interfaces
between technology, art and design. The first international conference
in the Ambience series was held in Tampere, Finland in 2005. In Tampere
2005 the basic theme was “Intelligent ambience, including intelligent
textiles, smart garments, intelligent home and living environment”.
In
Borås 2008 it was “Smart Textiles – Technology & Design” and
in
Borås 2011 it will be the new expressional crossroads where art, design,
architecture and technology meet; digital architecture, interaction
design, new media art and smart textiles.
With a foundation in artistic practice the conference will be organized
as a meeting place where art, design, architect and technology
communities can come together to discuss and share ideas on the
interfaces between art and technology development; a place where art,
design, architecture and technology can meet and interact, to inform
each other, and to bring new ideas back to their own community.
The conference will include sessions for paper presentations as well as
an exhibition for the presentation of art, design and architectural
work.
We welcome contributions from the areas of art, design and architecture
where new technology plays a key role and also contributions from areas
of technology where focus is on applications in contemporary art, design
and architecture.
Keynote speakers will introduce discussions about, and critical
reflections on, the future development of the intersections between
artistic practice and technology. Concerts and performances will also
display artistic perspectives on modern technology.
The conference is organized by The University of Borås in cooperation
with Tampere University of Technology and is a part of the Smart
Textiles Initiative – www.smarttextiles.se
