Will our planet co me to a sudden end? Will the world economy crumble? Will Obama get re-el ected? Who knows? Does anyone care? BYTE ME\, 2012 can take your mind of f of all these difficult questions and perhaps even answer some of them for you. \;\n \;\nThe event showcases installations and artwork by Portland artists Libbey White\, Donald Delmar Davis\, Jonas Nash\, and Cameron Adamez that highlight the use of technology in different ways.&# 13\;\n \;\nThe centerpiece is the world premiere of the installation T\,E.D. (Transformations\, Emotional Deconstruction)\, created by Sean H athaway\, with music by Carlos Severe Marcelin. This large work features 80 customized Teddy Ruxpin dolls wired together\, delivering real-time emotional content from the internet based on the Emotion Wheel developed by the psychologist Robert Plutchik. The work uses speech engines and l ighting to deliver a seamless and continuous conversation between the an imated dolls who have had their motherboards replaced by the custom boar d designed for this piece by the creator. Interactive real-time input ca n also be done by the audience through text messaging or an on-site TED software application.\n\nTags: hardware\, art\, free\, hacking\, culture \n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250461793 URL:http://www.severeenterprises.com/byteme.html SUMMARY:BYTE ME 2012 - A Showcase of Technological Art LOCATION:Launch Pad Gallery: 534 SE Oak Street\, Portland OR 97214 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
