# Event Details - **Event Name**: XTREMERS — Symposium on Body as Interface for Extreme Users - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Nov, 2026 at 09:30 am – Fri, 13 Nov, 2026 at 06:00 pm (+00:00) - **Event Description**: The body as an interface. The body itself as the medium through which intention, expression and meaning take form.About this EventIt convenes those who work at these edges across disciplines that rarely share a room: dancers, performers, and musicians who carry expert somatic knowledge; artists and architects who shape bodies in space and sound; designers, neuroscientists, and researchers in brain–computer interfaces, haptics, sonification, and human factors under extreme conditions. We call them xtremers. What unites them is a single proposition: that the body, at its limits, is the most revealing interface we have, and the most generative place to imagine what comes next.SIX WEBSITEXTREMERS WEBSITEhttps://six.fba.up.pt/Xtremers.html - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/porto/xtremers-symposium-on-body-as-interface-for-extreme-users/100001994132668492 - **Event Categories**: art, music, entertainment, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 8 hours 30 minutes - Location: Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Porto - **state**: PO - **country**: Portugal - **location**: Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto - **lat**: 41.1455874 - **long**: -8.600808899999999 - **full address**: Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto, 265 Avenida de Rodrigues de Freitas, Porto, Portugal ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: XTREMERS — Symposium on Body as Interface for Extreme Users - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7b03e6e59bf37df4abce4be09f888b9af80de168ab9e0e28124de64de5d8049e-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1784816193 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is XTREMERS — Symposium on Body as Interface for Extreme Users being held? - **A:** XTREMERS — Symposium on Body as Interface for Extreme Users takes place on Fri, 13 Nov, 2026 at 09:30 am to Fri, 13 Nov, 2026 at 06:00 pm at Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto, 265 Avenida de Rodrigues de Freitas, Porto, Portugal. - **Q**: Who is organizing XTREMERS — Symposium on Body as Interface for Extreme Users? - **A:** XTREMERS — Symposium on Body as Interface for Extreme Users is organized by i2ADS / Faculty of Fine Arts University of Porto. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

Secondary questions include: How can flow be constructively interrupted and moderated through the use of friction in the interaction with digital media? What are the purposes for breaking flow in digital media? What kinds of teaching and learning materials can be developed for these methods?The project will provide an understanding of how friction, inconvenience and other playful strategies found in games can be used to promote meaning and reflectiveness in users. Furthermore, it will develop design tools, such as strategies, principles and patterns, that designers and other stakeholders can use to access this knowledge. These tools will be developed in pedagogical contexts and with the industry partners for whom they are directed. The results include an open-access book with the theory and models, a database of design patterns and resources for practitioners, educators, and learners, and interface actions with industry partners.Research Institute in Art, Design and Society" } ] } ] ```
