HCI @ FACT – from Dave England
I’d like to invite LeonardoNet participants to the following event in Liverpool. Please contact Marta to book a place via ruperez@fact.co.uk.
You can get a preview at http://www.hci-fun.org.uk/demo.html which is still under construction so any bug and usability reports would be welcomed.
Regards
Dave England.
HCI @ FACT
*Josh Nimoy*: Icon==Function
4 October 2005, 18:00 – 20:30, The Box
FREE (pre-booking required)
The HCI (Human Computer Interaction) project is a collaboration between FACT and the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Liverpool John Moore¹s University that seeks to explore issues of computer usability. Artists Josh Nimoy (US), Simon Poulter (UK) and Caen Botto
(Argentina) have been commissioned to propose experiments, based on scientific principles of human-computer interaction, that analyze how a variety of different users, from different backgrounds and levels of technological training, interact with Œthe machine¹.
Josh Nimoy will be presenting Icon==Function, a series of interactive game-like audio-visual environments that analyzes the relationship between the functionality of user interfaces, and their iconographic facades. The body of work attempts to eliminate the divide between the outer and inner parts of ³the machine.²
Caen Botto and Simon Poulter will also be present to inform us about their projects up to date.
