INFORMATION ON THE PARALLEL WORKSHOPS: 14.30 hrs – 16.00 hrs (15.30 – 16.00 hrs: Tea) Researchers that were engaged in the EIT Mediating Presence program host workshops in which results and questions are explored in an interdisciplinary setting, including artists that were involved in the artistic research project Witnessing You. Five minute presentations inspire conversation to identify issues to be solved and possible sketches of design: Mediated Negotiation Space, Room: H (lecture hall): How do we negotiate in mediated space, where tacit and tactile knowledge is hard to communicate? And how does the medium itself influence what can be communicated and not? Can media be used in different ways to convey truth and trust? How can we design listening in such a way that we arrive at a state if shared listening? What is the role of self-witnessing for being able to engage?

Chair: Professor Catholijn Jonker, Interactive Intelligence Group Department of Intelligent Systems TU Delft/ EIT ICT Labs Contributions: > On integrating rhythm and entrainment, by Dr. Satinder Gill, fellow with the Center for Music and Science, Cambridge University > On the media-auric effect, by Dr. Sjoukje ver der Meulen, independent scholar, media theory > Making shared distributed spaces, Leif Handberg, Media Technology and Graphic Arts, School of Computer Science, KTH/ EIT ICT Labs > Shared Listening, by Merlijn Twaalfhoven, composer > Witnessing Design, by Chin-Lien Chen & Chris Vermaas, designers

Mediated Courtroom, Room: B3.470 (small meeting room) How can we imagine systems of justice in the network society? Can the court just be filmed and broadcasted? When the presence of the judge is mediated, what happens to truth finding and to the authority of its outcome? Can witnesses be remotely present? And if social networks become part of truth finding, how do new standards for good behavior and justice emerge? How are we witness to each other? How do new public-private spaces influence how we trust?

Chair: Dr. Charlie Gullstrom, Presence Design, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Dept Architecture / EIT ICT Labs Contributions: > The construction and representation of legal spaces in law (via skype), by Dr. Leif Dahlberg, Associate Professor, School of Computer Science, KTH Stockholm > Complex systems and standardisation, by Dr. Jos Vrancken, Systems Engineering, TU Delft > Painting Trauma, by Ronald Ophuis, visual artist > Tele_Trust, by Hermen Maat, social technology artist

(continued) 22 November: Prototyping on the Mediated Sketching Table

Mediated Hospital, Room: A1.370 (Boardroom) How can we connect with people who are in the hospital? How can children be comforted by their families at home while staying they stay in a hospital bed? Can virtual friends and virtual envroments help out? How can we enjoy and overcome different glass interfaces? How can we coordinate, interact, and play to support each other to be well? Chair: Dr. Tjerk de Greef, Interactive Intelligence Group Department of Intelligent Systems TU Delft/ EIT ICT Labs Contributions: > Creating social connectedness and interaction rituals, by Joke Kort, TNO Innovation Management - Business Innovation and Customer Behaviour > Perception in virtual environments, by Dr. Harold Nefs, Perceptual Intelligence Lab, TU Delft > Tele_Tust, by Karen Lancel, social technology artist > Looking Glass, by Anna Carlgren, glass artist

Meta-Design for Reflection in Participatory Systems, Room: B1.300 (glass space) Social networks and other networks build upon participation of their users. Mediting presence not only needs to facilitate to connect to each other, but also needs to incorporate the possibility to reflect and share reflections to influence next behaviour and next generations of these systems as well. How can we identify and shape meta-design for participation that allows for reflection? How can we design participatory systems in such a way that people can accept responsibility and have the possibility to act and share reflections about how to act?

At TU-Delft, his main research interests concern the use of IT in the lifecycle of infrastructrures, such as the use of IT in road traffic management, surface water

management and in train safety. In road traffic management, he deals primarily with the problem of implementing network control. Ronald Ophuis Ophuis lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam (1988–1990) and the AKI Academy for Arts and Industrial design in Enschede (1990–1993). Ophuis often travels to take pictures and to find inspiration for his paintings. In 2003 Ophuis travelled to Srebrenica, where he talked with local people about their situation. The photographs that he made served as inspiration for several paintings. In 2010 he travelled with a camera crew to Sierra Leone, where he interviewed and photographed child-soldiers. This resulted in a series of portraits of child soldiers. His works has been shown in several musea, art institutions and galleries world wide. Hermen Maat Hermen Maat designs interactive installations and situations using different new media. In this context he researches the relation between individual identity and social context. His installations are based on the tension between the recognition and definition of boundaries of an own identity and the sharing of a collective space; the encounter with the other and where this boundary becomes fluid again. Hermen Maat studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy Amsterdam, and Jan van Eijck Academy Maastricht. He is professor of Media Art at the Minerva Academie Groningen, HKU Utrecht. Mediated Room Dr. Tjerk de Greef Tjerk de graduated at HAN University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen) in 1999.

He received his PhD in 2002 based on his thesis "Tactual discrimination of gratings" from Professor Koenderink. After his PhD period he continued to work with professor Koenderink on visual "shape-from-shading" perception. In 2006 he left the Alma Mater to go to the UK to work with professor Julie Harris in St Andrews on stereoscopic depth perception, eye movements and motion-in-depth perception. Currently Harold works

as a post-doctoral researcher at Delft University of Technology. Research interests include human perception, individual differences and psychophysics.

Karen Lancel Karen Lancel utilizes new media and performance in her artistic work that spreads across the public space and the internet. She designs temporary zones, and concepts for meeting places. Lancel's work takes place in public spaces such as museums, theaters, train stations, squares, festivals, libraries, or airports. Here she inquires the changing perception of the public space. She explores the coping strategies involved in the experience of being (un)safe and isolated, and focuses on how these experiences are transformed into personal stories. In collaboration with her audience she gives this ongoing process a personal face to show both the horror and the beauty. She is also professor of the Interactive Media Environment, the MFA program of the Frank Mohr Institute Groningen.

Anna Carlgren Anna Carlgren makes non-technical instruments, which multiply, enlarge, reduce, absorb, and partly or fully deform the environment. She uses (and misuses) glass and its optical qualities in order to create a visual play. She works with the effects produced by light in combination with glass. Recent work consists of sculptures with trompe l’œil and optical phenomena as a vital component that are included in a number of museum collections worldwide like Nationalmuseum in Stockholm Sweden, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam Netherlands, and Corning Museum of Glass, New York. Prof. Peter Barnes Peter Parnes Peter is a techsavvy Professor at Luleå University of Technology. He is a creative researcher and professor that loves applied research which can be put to good use. Earlier in his life he founded Marratech AB, which' technology was later bought by Google where he worked as development leader in Sweden. He also runs a research company called Parnes Labs where he does programming and help startups grow. Meta-Design for Reflection in Participatory Systems Alireza Seyed Rezae Alireza Seyed Rezae’s intended research is about improving the performance of supply chains in complex environments. The research goal is to introduce a framework for designing and implementing multi agent based supply chain management by conducting a multi disciplinary research in the fields of Multi Agent Systems, Systems Engineering and Management Science. Dr. Rens Kortman Rens has a varied background in both the academic and corporate world. He studied cognitive science and artificial intelligence at the universities of Groningen (NL) and Edinburgh (UK). In 2003 he received his PhD from Maastricht University where he studied visually guided behaviour and robotics.

In 2008 he was appointed assistant professor at TU Delft where his work is centered around game-based learning, simulation, and embodied cognitive science. Angelo Vermeulen Angelo Vermeulen is a visual artist, filmmaker, biologist, and author. His research in ecology, environmental pollution and teratology informs his art, which includes bio installations, experimental setups incorporating living organisms and science fiction references. His projects include ‘Blue Shift’, a Darwinian art project in collaboration with evolutionary biologist

Prof. Luc De Meester, and ‘Biomodd’, a worldwide series of cross-cultural, symbiotic installations in which social interaction, ecology, and game culture converge. He is currently collaborating with the MELiSSA life support division of the European Space Agency. He is Advisor at Sint-Lucas Visual Arts in Ghent, Belgium, Adjunct Professor at the University of the Philippines Open University, and a TED Fellow. Ino Paap Ino works with Mediamatic as an interaction designer, projectmanager since 2001. In 2004 Ino became a Mediamatic Lab partner. Designing starts with asking the right questions. Then developing functionalities that could give the right answers. And finally it is scraping all ballast and keeping the essential until a product remains that looks as if anyone could have designed it.
