PROJECTS

Project: scanMemories Documentary
Author(s): Miguel Andrés-Clavera
Year: 2008
Description:
scanMemories documentary provides an emotional and evocative approach to Memory, Death and Space in Networked Societies. By weaving together the memories of Neli, TJ, Lorena and Tim, it shows how RFID, mobile technologies, databases and wireless networks alter memory practices in and around death. It follows the installation of the scanMemories Project in the city of Zaragoza, Spain that allows distributed forms of media systems and information networks to transmit memory as experience. Funded by the Council of Zaragoza (Spain) and Digital Mile (http://www.milladigital.es/ingles/home.php)

Project: himbaChronotopes
Author(s): Miguel Andrés-Clavera
Year: 2008
Description:
himbaChronotopes explores how situated, networked and participatory narratives raise awareness of a tribe under threat in Northern Namibia by crossing material objects with the immateriality of information. The project creates interactive video narratives featuring Himba artisans. It allows users to participate over the network to extend the video narrative over space and time joining Material Objects with Social Networks.

Project: scanMemories
Author(s): Miguel Andrés-Clavera and Inyong Cho
Year: 2006-now
Description:
scanMemories is an interdisciplinary art project that uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), databases, mobile and wireless technologies. It opens a heterogeneous and direct access to the memories materialized in physical spaces and objects. The project examines how memory practices in and around death can be altered by information technologies. This includes the questions about how information embodied in memory objects and space can change the issues of identity and privacy about the dead.

Project: Wearable Absence
Author(s): Miguel Andrés-Clavera and Inyong Cho
In collaboration with: Hexagram
Year: 2006
Description:
Wearable Absence presents a mainframe in which clothing becomes the catalyst and filter within the process of retrieving personal digital content. A wearable set of sensing devices allows the use of biofeedback to communicate with the digital memories of the person who owned the garment.

Project: Myung Dong
Author(s): Miguel Andrés-Clavera, Inyong Cho and Nick West
Year: 2005
Description:
Locative technologies allow us to not only play 'in' an urban neighbourhood like Myungdong, but to actually play 'with' and 'about' Myungdong. We outline a schematic approach to allow the long-term placement of two kinds of locative projects in Myungdong: narrative projects that are heavily authored using the best available storytelling technologies of large studios and annotative projects using technologies such as DMB, tagging systems, GPS, database and mobile technology.

Project: Frathobos
Author(s): Miguel Andrés-Clavera and Inyong Cho
Year: 2005
Description:
The project is about how linear sense of time in relation with physical interaction can be altered into a fragmented whole by digital technology.  The installation as an art form has a matrix of lenses. The image captured by each lens is projected as a single unit. Partial images are not just parts of a matrix but also each one can be addressed independently of the whole.

Project: immigraRtion
Author(s): Miguel Andrés-Clavera
Year: 2004
Description:
The project evolves around transitional/everyday objects and virtual spaces that are interconnected. A system using genetic algorithms generates interactive environments that are displayed in the real world. The representation of the physical objects gets transformed with the algorithmic information and the interaction of the users.
