The Inside Out (m)applet now available
The code for the java applet on these pages that visualizes the GPS data from the workshop is now available under the GPL. A few of the things that I had in mind when creating the applet was to make sure that it's compatible with all common Java VM's (including the MS Java VM) and also to do it in a way that with very minor alterations, the same applet can be used to visualize other peoples data. So even if you don't know java, you can probably get this to display your GPS data on a website. An interactive, realtime map will constantly display where we are and where we have been, complete with links to media-files related to various points on the map.

UMATIC ARTISTS
Umatic is an initiative of five media-artists working in the different fields of net-, video- and soundart. For more information about the individual artists, see the following links:
-- Bas van Koolwijk [NL]
.. is a video & audio artist. His work analyzes the disturbances produced by video, transforming them into numeric code, in order to produce a visual and acoustic sequence.. -->
-- Christian Toonk [NL]

..is an audio and image artist with a background in home recording and video. Still using analogue techniques, he now puts more and more the emphasis on digital working methods.. -->
-- Derek Holzer [US/NL]
.. is a sound and radio artist with a background in free radio, net.radio and streaming media technologies. He was involved with some of the first net.radio experiments.. -->
-- Sara Kolster [NL]
is a video and new-media artist with a background in web / graphical design and webbased-projects.. -->

PANdev: PsychoAcousticNavigation device
http://www.umatic.nl/projects_pandev.html
http://www.garage-g.de
The project I am working on here in Iceland is a GPS-enabled portable audio recorder called "PANdev" [aka PsychoAcousticNavigation device]. This project is based on the use of Linux on an HP IPAQ 5550 palmtop computer, and is currently still under development.When completed, PANdev tag sound recordings made on the IPAQ with GPS data, allowing the times and locations of the recordings to be tracked. Later, these sounds could be arranged in a cartographical visual representation--in other words, a soundmap.

Digital media artist, Jane D. Marsching's current project, Arctic Listening Post, explores our past, present and future human impact on the Arctic environment through interdisciplinary and collaborative practices, including video installations, virtual landscapes, dynamic websites, and data visualizations, all of which foster emerging forms of participation and social engagement. Her upcoming work brings together scientists, architects, and scifi illustrators to imagine what it will be like to live at the North Pole in 100 years. With Mark Alice Durant in 2005, she curated The Blur of the Otherworldly: Contemporary Art, Technology, and the Paranormal, at The Center for Art and Visual Culture, Baltimore, MD;

Bonding Energy - using java
Bonding Energy is part of Cross Current Resonance Transducer, a collaboration between Douglas Repetto and LoVid (Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus).
Every ten minutes each Sunsmile device takes a reading from its solar panel and sends the data to the turbulence.org server. When a viewer visits Bonding Energy they are presented with a live visualization of the data collected from the seven devices. Data from each device is represented by a wedge in an animated circle.

Mary Bates Neubauer: New Work ::
Recent research into the visual transcription of numerical data streams involves collecting historical and near-real-time statistics from the various instruments which are constantly recording details of our surroundings, such as climate, solar activity, water levels, traffic flow, energy expenditure, and population flux. Incoming information is translated in several steps, from columns of numbers to 3D visual patterns.

This exhibition, then, focuses on this “invisible communication.” The works presented explore our relationships with the natural environment through making it visible or audible, based on biological information, thanks to uses of biosensors. The exhibition also uses computer simulations of the natural environment in an effort to explore new conceptions of the environment these technologies reveal.

Intuitive Ocusonics: Eye Tracking Musical Instrument Interfaces
"In Retina Burn, soundwaves generated by the sun are manipulated by movements of the performer's eye, thereby allowing the listener to audibly 'view' the sun without the usual risk of damaged vision. The composition's low hums and fluttering sine waves combine with percussive blinks and squints to gradually move through a series of sonic dilations; a feast for the ears prepared by the eye."

"AER"
The artists featured in this greenmuseum.org Aer project look critically at the issue of air quality and use various methods to raise awareness of the issue among the public.

Andrea Polli
http://ima.hunter.cuny.edu.
Polli's work addresses global systems, the real time interconnectivity of these systems, and the effect of these systems on individuals. She currently works in collaboration with atmospheric scientists to develop works for understanding storm and climate information through sound (a process called sonification). Recent works include: a spatialized sonification of detailed storm models; a series of sonifications of actual and projected climate in Central Park; and a real-time multi-channel sonification and visualization of weather in the Arctic.

1n0ut: Robert Praxmarer & Reinhold Bidner
http://www.1n0ut.com/
1n0ut is an artist collective that works both collaboratively and individually on a variety of video and interactive art projects with a focus on generating synesthetic experiences. The artists mix analogue and digital processes in their work to achieve a perfect aesthetic blend which can be understood as a reflection upon all of our lives. Cross-disciplinary by nature, their approaches reach from a self programmed real-time video montage system based on Praxmarer’s ongoing PhD work to the charming photo stills and composed video works from Bidner. Both like to think in shades of grey - between black and white - which gives the audience an experience of fuzziness, fault and, despite algorithmic perfection, harmony.

Adam Zaretsky
Adam Zaretsky is a Vivoartist working in Biology and Art Wet Lab Practice. This involves biological lab immersion as a process towards inspired artistic projects. His personal research interests revolve around life, living systems and interrogating varied cultural definitions that stratify life's popular categorizations.

Beatriz da Costa
http://www.beatrizdacosta.net
beatrizdacosta@earthlink.net
Beatriz da Costa is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher working at the intersection of contemporary art, life science, engineering and politics. Her work takes the form of public participatory interventions, locative media, conceptual tool building . da Costa has also made frequent use of wetware in her projects and has recently become interested in the potential of interspecies co-production in promoting the responsible use of natural resources and environmental sustainability.
Other issues addressed in her work include the use of emergent technologies to investigate context specific configurations of social injustice, the politics of transgenic organisms, and the social repercussions of ubiquitous surveillance technologies. Through her work da Costa examines the role of the artist as a political actor engaged in technoscientific discourses.
