Originally conceived of and developed by Professor Brooke Knight and Jo-Anne Green and Helen Thorington of Turbulence.org, Floating Points has brought together the entire new media faculty at Emerson College to produce an annual speaker series, which has taken place at Emerson College each spring since 2004. It examines some of the current critical areas being explored by net-based artists: interactivity, visualization, Internet protocol, software art, generative art, mapping, and games. The series considers contemporary theoretical and conceptual issues in net art, challenging notions of the art object, the artist and the audience.
2004 Floating Points 1 – Net Art Now
2005 Floating Points 2 – Networked Art in Public Spaces
2006 Floating Points 3 – Ubiquitous Computing
