WELCOME TO <a href="http://www.ambience11.se/">AMBIENCE´11 <br>
</a>…where art, technology and design meet<o:p></o:p></font></font></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 16pt;"><span
lang="EN-US"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">An
international conference, and exhibition, which welcomes
researchers and artists/designers/architects to the
University of Borås 28-30 November 2011.<o:p></o:p></font></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 16pt;"><span
lang="EN-US"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">The
Ambience conference focuses on the intersections and
interfaces between technology, art and design. The first
international conference in the Ambience series was held
in Tampere, Finland in 2005. In Tampere 2005 the basic
theme was “Intelligent ambience, including intelligent
textiles, smart garments, intelligent home and living
environment”. In Borås 2008 it was “Smart Textiles –
Technology & Design” and in Borås 2011 it will be the
new expressional crossroads where art, design,
architecture and technology meet; digital architecture,
interaction design, new media art and smart textiles.<o:p></o:p></font></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 16pt;"><span
lang="EN-US"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">With
a foundation in artistic practice the conference will be
organized as a meeting place where art, design, architect
and technology communities can come together to discuss
and share ideas on the interfaces between art and
technology development; a place where art, design,
architecture and technology can meet and interact, to
inform each other, and to bring new ideas back to their
own community. <o:p></o:p></font></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 16pt;"><span
lang="EN-US"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">The
conference will include sessions for paper presentations
as well as an exhibition for the presentation of art,
design and architectural work.<o:p></o:p></font></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 16pt;"><span
lang="EN-US"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">We
welcome contributions from the areas of art, design and
architecture where new technology plays a key role and
also contributions from areas of technology where focus is
on applications in contemporary art, design and
architecture.<o:p></o:p></font></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 16pt;"><span
lang="EN-US"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Keynote
speakers will introduce discussions about, and critical
reflections on, the future development of the
intersections between artistic practice and
technology. Concerts and performances will also display
artistic perspectives on modern technology.<o:p></o:p></font></font></span></p>
