In partnership with Emerson College
http://institute.emerson.edu/floatingpoints/
February 8 and March 15, 7:00 p.m.

Floating Points 3 will address the subject of "Ubiquitous Computing" or
"Ubicomp," where computing and wireless capabilities are so integrated into
the fabric of everyday life (clothing, cars, homes, and offices) that the
technologies recede into the background and become indistinguishable from
everyday activities. Panel 1 will focus on responsive environments and
systems, and Panel 2 will concentrate on networked devices such as barcodes
and RFID tags and creative strategies to subvert the ever-enlarging practice
of surveillance and data mining.
