I am excited to announce the fol­low­ing sym­po­sium at FH Potsdam:

The sym­po­sium »Liv­ing with Infor­ma­tion: Archi­tec­ture and Visu­al­iza­tion« (Octo­ber 16 , 2009 at FH Pots­dam) will jux­ta­pose expe­ri­ences and results from the MACE project with thoughts and design approaches from prac­ti­tion­ers in the fields of design, archi­tec­ture and tech­nol­ogy. Guided by five cen­tral ques­tions, we will explore future trends in infor­ma­tion visu­al­iza­tion, the rela­tion­ship of visu­al­iza­tion tools and cre­ativ­ity plus issues like infor­ma­tion over– and underload.

I am really look­ing for­ward to the unique speaker com­bi­na­tion we put together:

• Miguel Car­doso from bes­tiario,
• Paolo Ciuc­carelli from Politec­nico Milano /den­sity design,
• Georgi Kobi­larov from FU Berlin / dbpe­dia,
• Nor­bert Palz (CV + info) and
• Andrew Vande Moere from infosthetics.com!

In addi­tion, Prof. Boris Müller and I will pro­vide a rear-mirror view and out­look of our activ­i­ties related to the MACE project… A wide spec­trum, but hope­fully all held together by the cen­tral issue of the work­shop and the five ques­tions we pre­pared for the speakers.

Hope to see you there – reg­is­ter soon — space is limited!

On a related note, the Potsdam–based W3C office opens on the day before, which should be quite inter­est­ing, too.

Haven’t watched it yet, but I guess it’s good :)
