Please consider this great (paid) opportunity -- Cary's a brand-new professor in Art & Art History, one of their first digital art hires, with a computer science background. Twitter and Android, sounds like fun to me, and a great experience! -Jeff Art and Art History Prof. Cary Peppermint is looking a programmer to assist with two digital art projects: 1. The continued development of an Android App called "Indeterminate Hikes" Indeterminate Hikes is an app that acts as a personal guide to ecological awareness of everyday environments. By importing the national-park discourse of sublime wilderness into local places, including suburban, metropolitan, and rural settings, and rethinking how we use mobile technologies, IH transforms unexpected places into sites of bio-cultural diversity and wild happenings. http://ecoarttech.net/indeterminatehikes.html Java expertise is required. Previous experience with Android App development is a plus. 2. #TrainingYRHuman: a project that will parse twitter trends into dynamic data/text representations using the Twitter api and Flash Actionscript 3.0. What is it to "train" a dog? When a human trains a dog is the dog not also training you? That is, demanding a snack when it sits or raises a paw? And even when the human is not training the dog, is the dog not training himself? A social networking experiment with ecoarttech collaborator with Tuffy the Akita. Flash Actionscript and/or Java experience required. Pay will be based upon experience. These projects will be exhibited at Interactive Futures '11 - Emily Carr University in Vancouver, The 2012 College Art Association Conference in Los Angeles, Syracuse University's Warehouse Gallery '12, and other international cultural institutions and venues yet to be announced. In addition Indeterminate Hikes 2.0 will be available on the Android Market and opportunities are being established for local exhibitions and participatory performances involving these new media artwworks and University of Rochester students and community.
