This salon brought you two presentations by Nir Nadler and Chris O'Shea, and the results of the Machinima Contest 2006.

<h6>Meet the presenters</h6> Chris O'Shea (London) constructs models of interaction that borrow from Toy design and video games, to create play situations within virtual environments and in tangible devices. During the evening he presented a series of projects that begin to explore synaesthesia, the fusion of sound and visuals, through gaming devices, open source processes and interactive soundscapes. <a href="http://www.chrisoshea.org">*</a> <a href="http://www.pixelsumo.com">*</a> <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/12958/en/chris-o-shea-at-the-mediamatic-november-salon"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/498/12958-400-188.jpg" height="188" width="400" alt="" title="Chris O'Shea at the Mediamatic November Salon" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Click to get a larger image - Chris O'Shea at the Mediamatic November Salon - Mediamatic.net" href="/12958/en/chris-o-shea-at-the-mediamatic-november-salon">Chris O'Shea at the Mediamatic November Salon</a> Klaas Kuitenbrouwer showed the quirkiest results of the Machinima Competition that mediamatic organised with VIRMA and the Holland Animation Film Festival. Contestants had to make a machinima about a recent news event in one week only. In his presentation Klaas explored what it is that makes machinima interesting. <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/12960/en/nir-nadler-and-the-monograph-at-the-mediamatic"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/877/12960-400-177.jpg" height="177" width="400" alt="" title="Nir Nadler and the Monograph at the Mediamatic November Salon" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Click to get a larger image - Nir Nadler and the Monograph at the Mediamatic November Salon - Mediamatic.net" href="/12960/en/nir-nadler-and-the-monograph-at-the-mediamatic">Nir Nadler and the Monograph at the Mediamatic November Salon</a> Nir Nadler and Chaja Hertog portrayed prototypes of cultural identities and iconic figures through variable mediums. Some of these identities are applied onto a self-published newspaper: The Monograph, where the personality Norbert Nadler plays a central role. It is a man without character that uses all means to approach everyone. On this night Norbert traveled through the imaginary world like a chameleon taking on every identity he desires, he exists only because of the media and coincided with it. - 4.90982 52.3758 ARTEFACT event salon 1
