9th Annual Subtle Technologies Festival investigates Architecture and Responsiveness in 2006
June 1st - June 4th, 2006
University of Toronto, Toronto Canada

This year's theme for Subtle Technologies is Responsive Architecture. We are interested in investigating how environments and systems can interact and respond to their occupants. We hope for wide-ranging discussions and presentations that explore dynamic systems and environments at every scale, from molecules to continents. The conference will include a wide definition of architecture that encompasses buildings, mechanical and natural environments.

Examples of possible topics include:

Interactive systems
Smart materials
Buildings that can move and transform
Adaptive environments
Hybrid ecologies
Complex systems analysis
Expanded perception

Within this general theme, sound and acoustics will be a special focus. The 2006 festival is being held in partnership with SoundaXis, a Toronto-wide event inspired by the work of renowned architect-composer Iannis Xenakis.

Specialized topics include:

Resonance
Spatial acoustics
Physics of sound
Psychoacoustics
Sound Installations

We encourage demonstrations and can accommodate a wide variety of presentations. Technical support and honoraria for presenters is included.

Summaries of past presentations are archived on our website. We encourage those interested in submitting a proposal to acquaint themselves with our history of programming.

The festival is open to the public and presentations should be accessible to a non-specialized audience. Presentations typically last 40 minutes, followed by a ten minute question and answer period.

Deadline for Proposals
January 15, 2005.
