Want to hear recordings of me improv MCing at the Los Angeles Salon Series v.6 ? I mention squirrels, acorns, and funky knuckle-shaking. Some mp3s from this event have been posted to the Salon Series website in the "media" section. Click the links in the parentheses and enjoy hearing me make a fool of myself (as always).

HCI @ FACT

*Josh Nimoy*: Icon==Function

4 October 2005, 18:00 - 20:30, The Box
FREE (pre-booking required)

The HCI (Human Computer Interaction) project is a collaboration between FACT and the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University that seeks to explore issues of computer usability. Artists Josh Nimoy (US), Simon Poulter (UK) and Caen Botto (Argentina) have been commissioned to propose experiments, based on scientific principles of human-computer interaction, that analyze how a variety of different users, from different backgrounds and levels of technological training, interact with "the machine"

Josh Nimoy will be presenting Icon==Function, a series of interactive game-like audio-visual environments that analyzes the relationship between the functionality of user interfaces, and their iconographic facades. The body of work attempts to eliminate the divide between the outer and inner parts of "the machine."

Caen Botto and Simon Poulter will also be present to inform us about their projects up to date.
