The seminar is supported by Nokia Connect to Art and Sulake.
The program looks interesting, even if it looks a bit thin on the use of mobile devices as a computational platform. The delivery of video and sound over mobile networks is of course intriguing, but hardly revolutionary. Sulake’s presentation on “mobile virtual worlds” looks to be the exception.
Be sure to check out the rest of the Pixelache 2006 Helsinki program.
