DESCRIPTION:Sounds Like Mobility\n\nA Mobile Media\, Sound and Music Event
 \n\nDate: Tuesday 17 May 2011\nVenue: Anglia Ruskin University\, East Road
 \, Cambridge\n\nEntrance fee: £10.00\n\nSitting down motionless\, staring
  at screens\, and focusing on the task at hand are becoming much less comm
 on than using media on the go\, touching and listening to a device\, while
  also being involved in other activities. In mobile media contexts\, alter
 native sensory modalities increasingly replace the largely visual paradigm
 s of the (both physical and virtual) desktop era. This one-day event exami
 nes the role of sound in media interactions as an especially pertinent exa
 mple of our post-desktop world. It features invited speakers\, performance
 s\, demos\, pecha-kuscha-style short presentations and poster presentation
 s.\n\nThere is much more to this than iPods and alert sounds. Interactions
  between various physical contexts\, social networks\, mobile bodies and n
 etworked devices can be mediated in an almost infinite number of ways by s
 ound - and also though sound. Invited experts and selected projects (see c
 all 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.\n\nThe projects presented at this ev
 ent question our dominant visual/screen culture and map out alternative sc
 enarios for interacting with mobile media that take advantage of alternati
 ve sensory modalities\, especially sonic ones. Sound also serves as a powe
 rful reminder of the temporal aspects of media interactions\, complementin
 g the current focus on 'location' in relation to mobile media. Mobility do
 es not only play out in space\, but also over time: bodies and devices mov
 ing though spaces at various speeds\, rhythms\, and times. This event show
 cases the role of sound in the negotiation of social and intimate interact
 ions as mediated though layers of located and mobile streams of media. It 
 is organised by the Cultures of the Digital Economy Research Institute (Co
 DE) at Anglia Ruskin University.\n\nhttp://www.anglia.ac.uk/ruskin/en/home
