OMNI AUSTIN DOWNTOWN 3:30 PM Austin 5:00 PM Longhorn Creative Collaboration Using an Open Source Model New Aging: Design for the Older Gets Wiser The availability of open source libraries has provided a common environment for collaboration between artists and creators. Daito Manabe, a cutting edge media artist and ARS Electronica winner and Kaoru Sugano, a creative technologist and a Cannes Titanium winner, have duo session and will share current explorations in open sourcing the creative process and discuss future possibilities. Daitio Manabe, Kaoru Sugano Dual | Intermediate | Art + Inspiration | #OpenCR There are currently 17,000 nursing homes in America, and the same number of reasons not to move into them. So how do restore dignity & fun in aging? New Aging is an initiative to provoke new ideas and bring together creative thinkers to reimagine the potential in aging. This panel will address aging by focusing on the latest advances in technology, care, and aging trends. Hunter Tura, Jos�� Colucci, Matthias Hollwich, Sari Gilman Panel | Intermediate | Science + Space Exploration | #NewAging Capital Ballroom Beyond UXD: Transforming Experience Through Design What does experience actually mean? And how can we work with experience in design? In this session, I will present theories and practices about the nature of experience alongside a new interactive game that designers can use to bring forth new and surprising experiences through a collaborative process of exchanging designs and describing what is done and felt with these designs. Daniel Rosenberg Solo | Advanced | Science + Space Exploration | #beyondUXD 3:30 PM Lone Star Why Your Brain Needs Negative Feedback The wiring of the brain was designed to manage struggle, not a never-ending supply of trophies and high-fives. Too much positivity actually re-wires the brain, making people less tolerant of risk, criticism, and even creativity. This session will help shed light on the science of negativity, and the direct implication it has on how we collaborate, foster culture, and design experiences. Niki Weber Solo | Intermediate | Science + Space Exploration | #badbrain 3:30 PM Longhorn Design & Science: More Than a Pretty Picture Science is remarkably visual. Design plays an important role in science communication, but it���s more than just creating pretty pictures. Felice Frankel (internationally recognized science photographer) and Jennifer Jongsma (Director of Production at Annual Reviews) lead a conversation about the creative side of discovery and the new approaches to communicating science through visual expression. Felice Frankel, Jennifer Jongsma Dual | Intermediate | Science + Space Exploration | #designsci 5:00 PM Austin Anarchist to Sell-Out: Punks Make Better CEOs Nathan Martin is the CEO of innovation studio Deeplocal, creators of the Nike Chalkbot street painting robot seen at the Tour de France. Before working for brands, Nathan screamed in a touring metal band and plotted subversive pranks with the art collective Carbon Defense League. Nathan will talk about how his past as a subversive artist has influenced how he runs his for-profit business. Nathan Martin Solo | Advanced | Art + Inspiration | #Deeplocal 5:00 PM Capital Ballroom Curbing Crime with Data Extraction & Ontologies In this panel, we���ll look at the practical use of data extraction, ontologies, and the semantic web to detect patterns of misconduct early. We���ll see live examples of how historical and transactional data can be scanned in its native format and language to uncover patterns that provide true predictive analytics and artificial intelligence. Greg Ebert, Ray Mooney Dual | Intermediate | DIY, Hacker + Maker | #curbcrime 5:00 PM Lone Star New Opportunities for Hardware Innovators Potential has never been greater for entrepreneurs to build even the most complicated prototypes in an easy, affordable way. Want to build something and get noticed? Thanks to makerspaces and workshops like TechShop that provide members with affordable access to prototyping tools, classes and design software like Autodesk, building dreams is within reach.

Meet Up | Beginner | Social + Relationships | #homeroom 11:00 AM Austin Poetry in Motion: Sound Culture & Data Mining Hundreds of thousands of spoken text audio files remain untapped in archives. These digital artifacts hold our oral traditions, and projects like High Performance Sound Technologies for Analysis and Scholarship (HiPSTAS) out of the University of Texas���s School of Information feature original high performance data mining tools that help us visualize sound culture in ways we never imagined. Paul Vinelli, Tanya Clement Dual | Intermediate | Art + Inspiration | #hipstas 11:00 AM Capital Ballroom Crowdsourced Small Volume Vehicle Manufacturing Local Motors drives innovations in auto design, manufacturing & distribution of complex, cyber-mechanical devices.

Are we alone in the cosmos? Join NASA astronaut John Grunsfeld and a panel of experts for a look at the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope and the questions it���s designed to answer. Successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, Webb is a tennis-court sized orbiting observatory that will be 100 times more powerful and orbit far beyond Earth���s Moon. Alberto Conti, Blake Marie Bullock, John Grunsfeld, Jonathan Fay Panel | Intermediate | Science + Space Exploration | #NASAWebb 11:00 AM Longhorn Going Graphic with the News The educational power of comics is still largely untapped, although innovations are continuing to evolve fast in the form including using the medium to teach about current events. Our experiment: create a comic alter ego (The Plaid Avenger) for a real college professor, then crowd-source financial/academic support to create a print graphic novel AND digital app on the Mexican drug cartel war. John Boyer, Katie Pritchard Dual | Intermediate | Art + Inspiration | #plaidapp 12:30 PM Austin Idea Orphans Through the use of audio, slides, animation and storytelling, ���This American Life's��� Starlee Kine and her collaborator Arthur Jones will provide inspiration as well as concrete tools on how to get those orphaned ideas out of your head and into the world.
