I'm stupidly excited

I have received my ticket for tweakfest and know what I'm going to do this weekend:

«interFaces» conference
At tweakfest 09 - the networking and information platform for the digital avant-garde, the theme of the conference is interfaces such as that between man and machine and between reality and virtuality. Creative artists, designers, researchers, communicators and managers are invited to join the futuristic discussions on Friday the 24th of April 2009 at the Technopark in Zurich, Switzerland. Be inspired and meet the leading International and Swiss thinkers on how our digital life will look like in the future from a cultural, scientific, communicative and business point of view.

The line-up looks very promising:

• Keynote - Ian Pearson: “A Trip to the Future”


• Demo - Nam Do: Your Mind controls Virtual Worlds


• Moshe Rappoport: IBM Global Innovation and Technology Outlook


• Demo - Oliver Goh: Intelligent Shared Spaces, Building Worlds without Boundaries


• Lecture: Alfonso von Wunschheim, CEO local.ch presents Online Advertising in Hyperlocality


• Demo - Iñaki Vázquez: Ambient Intelligence and the “Internet of Things”


• Lecture - Leo Keller: Web 3.0 and Semantic Web Interfaces


• Lecture - Gerhard M. Buurman: Intersection between Design, Art and Technology


• Lecture: Monika Fleischmann: Wohin mit der Medienkunst?

There´s also a number of exhibitions, performances and workshops and I'm stupidly excited about this.
