Arturo and I r
ecently trekked up to Oslo for the Art on Wires festival for live and interactive art and technology where we taught an introduction to openFrameworks.
The event was located in the majestic Kanonhallen, an old munitions factory from WWII that has since been converted into a very funky space with a classic Scandinavian design and finish. A mix of people from different backgrounds attended resulting in an intimate but enriching experience, not to mention fun as well.
Hopefully organiser Alexander Eichhorn will continue to produce more events in this vein in the future.
Highlights were the keynote talk from Mark Coniglio from Troika Ranch and the sound performance by Lars Graugaard (who also has some tracks on myspace) who transformed the hall into an post-human poly-rhythmic sound-scape.
