Ahoi,
das Raum Schiff Er.de landet im Februar wieder im Jazzclub Stellwerk in Hamburg-Harburg. Wer dabei sein möchte, kann jetzt in unserem Wiki einchecken. Und obwohl am Programm noch fleißig gefeilt wird, zeichnet sich schon jetzt eine spannende und inspirierende Mischung ab.
Diverse Projekte aus den Bereichen Digitales, Interaktionsdesign, Internet, Philosphie und Lötkolben stellen sich vor und werden alleine durch das Motto "Ordung und Chaos" gebändigt!
(Kleiner fraktaler Scherz am Rande: Wofür steht das B. in Benoit B. Mandelbrot? )
Ich hoffe, dass wir an den Erfolg vom letzten Jahr anknüpfen, und dass wir den einen oder anderen Rebooter, Idealisten und Weltverbesserer auf der unkonventionellen Konferenz treffen werden. Hier nochmal die Links_
Es grüßen Matthias und die #RSE11 Crew
This is not my planet. And this is not my conference.
What an opening to a talk at ACM Hypertext 01 by Ted Nelson!

The group is called MEDICHI, which is an acronym for "Methodic and Didactiv Challenges of the History of Informatics". Laszlo Boeszoermenyi has organized a workshop in Klagenfurt/Austria under this name.
Another source of people is coming form CHI 2008, ie. a SIG on user interface history conducted by Brad Myers and Anker Helms Jørgensen. CHI 2008 was held in Florence. To that extend the label MEDICHI still fits.
Feel free to join and let's see what emerges.
I just became aware of Cameron Carpenter, a passionate and virtuous US organ outlaw. In the talk he explains the intimate relationship between the artist and the instrument. Which turns out to be quite difficult because no organ is like the other. On the quest to present the best experience to his audience he is designing a new virtual organ with 5 keyboards and an extended pedal board.
