Sounds like Mobility: A Mobile Media, Sound and Music Event

Tuesday 17th May 2011, CoDE: The Cultures of the Digital Economy =
Research Institute at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.=20

Sitting down motionless, staring at screens, and focusing on the task at =
hand are becoming much less common than using media on the go, touching =
and listening to a device, while also being involved in other =
activities. In mobile media contexts, alternative sensory modalities =
increasingly replace the largely visual paradigms of the (both physical =
and virtual) desktop era. This one-day event examines the role of sound =
in media interactions as an especially pertinent example of our =
post-desktop world. It features invited speakers, performances, demos, =
pecha-kuscha-style short presentations and poster presentations. It =
takes place in Cambridge (UK) and is organised by CoDE: The Cultures of =
the Digital Economy Research Institute at Anglia Ruskin University.=20

There is much more to this than iPods and alert sounds. Interactions =
between various physical contexts, social networks, mobile bodies and =
networked devices can be mediated in an almost infinite number of ways =
by sound - and also though sound. Invited experts and selected projects =
(see call details below) from a wide range of fields illustrate how =
designers, artists, researchers, businesses and musicians explore the =
relationship between mobile media and sound/music.=20

The projects presented at this event question our dominant visual/screen =
culture and map out alternative scenarios for interacting with mobile =
media that take advantage of alternative sensory modalities, especially =
sonic ones. Sound also serves as a powerful reminder of the temporal =
aspects of media interactions, complementing the current focus on =
'location' in relation to mobile media. Mobility does not only play out =
in space, but also over time: bodies and devices moving though spaces at =
various speeds, rhythms, and times. This event showcases the role of =
sound in the negotiation of social and intimate interactions as mediated =
though layers of located and mobile streams of media.

CALL

We are calling for contributions to this event in the form of =
pecha-kuscha-style short presentations (20 slides for 20 seconds each) =
