Event details

 

Expo Unconference is about discussing ideas about and around sonic art. By ‘sonic art’ we mean anything that uses sound with artistic intent. It is part of Expo Brighton, the UK’s largest weekend of free sound art and experimental music.

 

At Unconference, everybody participates! That means the attendees are the presenters and the audience. If you aren't going to present, you can organize a discussion or publish notes from a talk.

Join In

 

Basically, you use this wiki to put forward what you would like to present at this year's unconference.  You decide what you would like to do and then post it up here. When we get closer to the date we will start to create a schedule for the day.

 

Here are some ideas about what you might do:

 

Discussion

What: A forum to discuss particular issues, e.g. The importance of concentrated listening

 

Demonstration

What: A way of showcasing software you have developed, e.g. A new max patch

 

Panel Discussion

What: Gathering together a panel of experts to discuss a particular topic, e.g. The future of independent radio in the UK

 

Presentation

A straight forward paper presentation but with a forum for feedback e.g. delivering an academic paper

 

Lightning Presentation

A Lighting presentation is a super-quick presentation format, based on the Pecha-Kuha format: each presenter is allowed a slideshow of 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds. This results in a total presentation time of 6 minutes 40 seconds on a stage before the next presenter is up. We plan to have a session of around 10 of these so add it below. Ideal for showing of a new idea or advertising something you're upto.
