International Community for Auditory Display

To all list members,

Dear friends,

I have been studying the ripple patterns on seashores, both static, recorded in the inter-tidal sands and dynamic, observed as drainage water flows across the sands as the tide goes out.

These remarkable static and dynamic patterns suggest 'sounds' but engraved in sand within a non-audible  visual domain. So is it possible to 'sonify' the visual data and create sounds directly related to the patterns?

Auditory Perception, Cognition, and Action Meeting

Thursday, November 13, 2008

Chicago, IL
Submission Deadline: OCTOBER 3

The 6th annual APCAM will be held just prior to the Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society. The goal of APCAM is to bring together researchers from various theoretical perspectives to present focused research on auditory cognition, perception, and aurally guided action. APCAM is a unique meeting in its exclusive focus on the perceptual, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of audition.

Phil Kortum's book, HCI Beyond the GUI: Design for Haptic, Speech, Olfactory, and Other Nontraditional Interfaces (Interactive Technologies) has a chapter on Auditory Displays that is very good particularly for the new practitioner. You'll recognize several ICAD regulars in the author list too.

Here's a link to the book in Amazon.

I am looking for institutional support in Paris (space and equipment) to develop three workshop activities with participants , from middle of Septembre to middle of October, within my post-doctoral research "Linking Urban soundscapes via commuters' memories".

In exchange I am willing to deliver a conference about this research, and establish other paths of collaboration.
