One Button Objects: Kokoromi + Create Digital Motion

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Gray Area Foundation, Kokoromi, createdigitalmusic.com, and createdigitalmotion.com present One Button Objects, a collection of playful interactive circuit-based creations.

Friday, March 12th
ONE NIGHT ONLY
6PM-9PM
(cash bar available, donations accepted)

In an age of sophisticated multi-touch, augmented reality, and sensors, what can be done with a single, lowly button? Inspired by a one-button challenge to game designers for the Gamma game competition, a group of artists, working with sound, interaction, light, and gaming, answers that question. From a plush, beating heart to a drinking game to one-button musical instruments, these handmade circuit objects push the envelope of what a single button can do.

One Button Objects is co-curated by Heather Kelley from Kokoromi and Peter Kirn from createdigitalmusic.com and createdigitalmotion.com

Kokoromi: Call for Entries

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

To celebrate the arrival of their Gamma game event in San Francisco, art game collective Kokoromi is teaming up with Create Digital Music and Create Digital Motion to launch a call for ONE-BUTTON OBJECTS. This call seeks to inspire unique hardware/software hacks that integrate playful, one-button interaction within a standalone machine or device. The curators are seeking circuit-bent gadgets, retro-fitted consoles, mechanical constructions, custom electronics, and other one-off creations.

During the week of the Game Developers Conference, the Game Objects will be featured in an exhibit at the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts. A selection of these Objects will be shown at the opening night Gamma party, alongside the software-based Gamma4 one-button games, on March 10th at the Mezzanine in SoMa.

The deadline for submissions is this Friday (March 5th).
