leaders present the theory related to the workshops in the seminars 
Critical Ecosystems (DIY Networks) and Interrupting Realities (Tracking 
Technology), where all workshop participants are also encouraged to 
engage in the discussions and debates. The Hive@ Soft(n) workshop 
includes an invitation to collaboratively create a locative media game 
on the basis of an integration of the networks of the Soft(n) 
installation and the Hivenetworks project.

Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th of April 2007
Cost: 150 euro / 100 euro, including lunch and workshop materials.
Maximum participants: 20
The Hive @ Soft(n) workshop is aimed at people with visualiation skills, 
programming skills in Flash, PD, and/or MAX/MSP and general creative 
people with an interest in locative media and reporting skills.
During the workshop, participants will create a locative media game in 
which data interpretation, selection, broadcasting and visualisation of 
collected content is determined by affection. In order to do so, 
participants will integrate the wireless network of ‘soft objects’ from 
the Soft(n) installation and the wireless network of Hivewares from the 
Hivenetworks project and will develop the visualisation application to 
realise the game. The data selected while developing, testing, and 
playing the game will be broadcast throughout the festival, and on the 
Internet.

Workshop Leaders:
Hivenetworks: Vladimir Grafov, Alexei Blinov , Will Hall
Soft(n) concept: Thecla Schiphorst
