        Domains, Publics and Access. WikiSprint for a Media Archeology of the Present

        Paz Sastre and Aisel Wicab / Mexico
        Metropolitan Autonomous University

        Domains, publics and access is an ongoing research in media archeology of the present. The core of the research is a wiki where everybody can collaborate with cataloging, preserving and documenting projects that offer access for the general public to the domains of art, culture, science, economics, politics and technology. The collection brings together projects that have emerged in different countries from the second half of the 20th century to the present day related to open access, open content, open government, open science, open design, open education, open spectrum, citizen journalism, citizen science, collaborative economy, commons, co-ops, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, cryptocurrencies, DIY, free software, free culture, community currencies, solidarity economy, grassroots media, p2p, piracy, tactical media, etc. The main goal is to preserve the memory of projects that appear and disappear day by day in different countries using the online tools such as Wayback Machine and MediaWiki. The reason for this is that historically the limits of access have never been stable and will continue to change but we are losing the traces of the present for future generations without even noticing it.

        MetaMediaLab: Ontohacking & Metagaming in the Algoricene

        Jaime Del Val / Spain
        Reverse – Metabody
        http://www.metabody.eu

        Metamedialab is a citizen lab for exploring and elaborating minor perceptions, a laboratory of research into the ways in which media shape societies not so much at the level of content but of their very structures, particularly in terms of how they organize perception. This is what we will call metamedia: the thinking of the very frameworks and perceptual structures mobilized by media. Ontohacking implies a critical reinvention of such structures, which alters the way bodies move, relate and constitute social ecologies.

        Interactive Performances for Dance, Sound and Biosignals

        Javier Jaimovich, Francisca Morand / Chile
        Sound Department - University of Chile
        javier.jaimovich.clwww.emovere.cl

        This workshop will focus on understanding the meaning and possibilities of different physiological signals (biosignals) and the technologies available to measure them. We will demonstrate the use of different biosensors and discuss the creative methods used in our work at Emovere project, which focuses on developing interactive dance performances that utilize biosignals to amplify, understand and connect with the internal functions of the human body. We use physiological signals such as electromyography (EMG), electrocardiography (ECG) and electrodermal activity (EDA) as materials that access an intimate and – usually – inaccessible biological dimension that is in constant change, affected by external and internal stimuli.
