Calendar of events (incomplete)

I have the huge ambition (huge because i'm lazy) to post with more regularity a list of "recommended" events. I'd invite you to write me if there's any relevant festival, show, workshop, conference or open day you think i should write about.

The program of the ARTEFACT festival consists of installations, concerts, theatre & performances, a symposium and a software / video exhibition. Participating artists will present surprising forms of presentation, sublime moments, corporeal experiences and emotional technology. Artefact takes place on February 13-18 at STUK, in Leuven (Belgium).

Collision 9 is an experimental art show where artists invent new technologies, new art forms, and even new forms of life.
January 28th - February 12th, Art Interactive, 130 Bishop Allen Dr, Cambridge, MA.

Floating Points 3 will address the subject of "Ubiquitous Computing" in two moderated panel discussions, one on February 8 and the other on March 15. The first will focus on artist-thinkers who work collaboratively with research teams to produce environments and systems that respond to the human presence; it will include Mark Goulthorpe, Susan Kozel and Chris Salter. The second panel will feature artist-thinkers who question and confront the ongoing development of networked objects and work creatively to subvert them. Guests will be Adam Greenfield, Beatriz da Costa and Brooke Singer (Preemptive Media), and Michelle Teran.

I'd love to be able to attend the next events two but i can't (though i'll do my best to pop up at the Barcelona one), so if you're going and feel like sharing pictures and feedbacks about it, please please drop me a note.

The second Seamless: Computational Couture runway fashion event will present collection of technologically experimental clothing (examples) at the Museum of Science in Boston on Feb. 1 at 7 p.m.
Get your tickets now cuz there will be many fabulous projects on show.
