> A live worklab project used to devise networked environments through the
> process of collective experimentation.

> The Banff Centre for the Arts, Banff, Canada
> 
> HWLA (Hot Wired Live Art)  is an artist worklab model that uses the live
> environment of the lab to create social network and performance prototypes
> from a diverse mix of technical and non-technical materials and activities.
> The HWLA network is an international and interdisciplinary group of
> artists, technologists and researchers with a combined range of skills and
> technical expertise in electronics, streaming media, sensors, physical
> (social) space design, wireless technology, live video and audio
> processing, software programming, telepresence, dance, theatre, film and
> video art. The aim of the worklab is to connect or network these materials
> and artists together to create live collaborative performance scenarios
> that use technology, but are not about the technology itself.
> 
> For two weeks 11 artists from Canada and different parts of Europe will set
> up the second  HWLA international worklab (HWLA2 - Airwaves) at The Banff
> Centre for the Arts. The first HWLA worklab, initiated by Amanda Steggell
> and Per Platou of Motherboard and in collaboration with the Bergen Centre
> for Electronic Art (BEK) took place from Jan 4 - 16, 2000 in Bergen,
> Norway. HWLA 2 - Airwaves will tap into a diverse pool of knowledge
> provided by the artists involved with a focus on non-screen based
> interfaces and/or situations, being cable free, the lab as a social space,
> networked and live systems, how we define networks  and explore meeting
> spaces including the physical and the virtual. By setting up the HWLA
> creative worklab and through the process of collective play, we research
> the social and artistic applications of these technologies while generating
> a discourse around these issues.
> 
> Platforms like KeyStroke, Nato 0+55, Max, QuickTime and RealVideo
> streaming, iListen, BigEye, Image/ine and vns will be used with physical
> materials and props, pdas, wireless video transmitters, sensors, a wireless
> LAN, servo motors, syncronized swimming and tai chi.
> 
> The HWLA2 website (http://beagle.waag.org/~hwla2)  will function during the
> worklab as a live lab space with real-time schedule updates, comments by
> the participants, and documentation by Scott delaHunta.
> 
> We will be periodically streaming out and posting live video and audio
> packets during the lab. The group will also be presenting at The Human
> Generosity conference, August 26-28 at The Banff Centre.
> 
> Please watch for upcoming announcements of these events.
