Mobile Computing Workshop @ Bauhaus Uni Weimar

english german 

From April the 17th, 2008 (until 10th of July), I will teach “Mobile Computing”, a workshop about mobile phones and artistic strategies at the Bauhaus University Weimar.

The increased availability of cellphones in everyday life change the human behaviour, the devices show ubiquitous effects on our (body-)language, strategies of communication and social networking. They are used to document our life with video and audio recordings and therefore influence the construction and perception of reality.

Besides the artistic research, the module will give an overview to technical aspects of mobile phones and the basics of programming. In the end, every participant shall have programmed a simple J2ME application for her/his own mobile phone – together with a brief final description to document the artistic aspect of the work.

Vom 17.4.2008 (bis 10.7.) werde ich einen Workshop an der Bauhaus Universität Weimar über “Mobile Computing” halten, der sich neben technischen Fragen zu Hardware und Programmierung vor allem mit künstlerischen Strategien zu Mobiltelefonen und deren Einfluss auf die Realität beschäftigt.

Mit der Verbreitung und Benutzung von Mobiltelefonen im Alltag verändert sich das menschliche Verhalten, die Geräte haben einen unübersehbaren Einfluss auf unsere Körperhaltung, sie verändern unsere Sprache und Kommunikationsstrategien, sind Bestandteil sozialer Netzwerk-Bildung. Sie dokumentieren unser Leben durch Audio- und Videoaufzeichnungen – und prägen damit die Gestaltung und Wahrnehmung unserer Realität.

Mittlerweile hat fast jeder einen dieser kleinen, relativ leistungsfähigen Mikrocomputer in der Hosentasche. Das Mobiltelefon ist nicht nur ein Kommunikationsmedium der Sprache, sondern immer mehr auch multimediales Universalgerät (Foto, Video, Audio, Synthesizer, Text, drahtloser Datenaustausch via Bluetooth & Web, GPS, Sensorik).

Neben der künstlerischen Fragestellung werden technische Möglichkeiten und Beschränkungen mobiler Anwendungen vorgestellt; Einführung in die Open-Source Programmierumgebung “mobile.processing” und Grundlagen der Programmierung mit Java (J2ME); Vorkenntnisse in Programmierung sind von Vorteil, aber keine Voraussetzung.

Es werden Aspekte der mobilen Telefonie untersucht, um eine künstlerische Strategie und Aussage hierzu zu treffen. Ergebnis des Moduls soll eine selbst programmierte Java-Anwendung für das eigene Mobiltelefon sein.

Some examples of my recent J2ME applications (ACPlotter & ACHarmonizer mobile). Informations about these and about my current project invoking phones and an Arduino BT (Bluetooth) board with biofeedback sensors will be published here as soon as possible…

    I am also waiting for the j2me code for communicating through Bluetooth.
    I have done the same project with python, check here http://www.8051projects.info/proj.asp?ID=81
