For those of us interested in animate materials, responsive environments, sonic interaction design,
Prof. Karmen Franinovic is a friend and alumna of the pioneering TGarden and txOom responsive playspace environments who’s become a world authority on animate materials and responsive environments. Karmen is probably coming with students to TEI from Zurich.
Shall we plan on having work on animated light, animated materials, puppetry ready to show Karmen by February? It would be marvellous to connect with that network of creative researchers in the EU.
Xin Wei

Here is the test for the one we would showand the one we wouldn’tYes, it would be really great. I have a parallel line of work wich goes more open environments - we did a research project on airand worked with students at Stomboli and this year in Pula, and plan to do a course on underwater environments!So desert is also appealing - have been looking at the work you did with Maja and RonHugs and looking forward to exchange soon!KarmenOn 23 Nov 2018, at 15:11, Sha Xin Wei <shaxinwei@gmail.com> wrote:Hi Karmen,Wow That'd be great to see!You know, it’s been incredibly gratifying and inspiring to see the marvelous trajectories of work that we each have done since the TGarden....Including the state-engine work we’ve finally matured in a fresh generation with the “sc” responsive media environment that now works with all sorts of variable fields of light, sound, video, mist, water, and air. We’d love to work with your poetic materials — maybe when you’re out we can see if we can join forces to make some inspiring events or installations!By the way we’ve re-launched a new search for Expressive Mechatronics and Robotics. I’ll send out the job call asap!Xin Wei
