05.03.10Talk to meJust a brief post on another worthy archive that i stumbled over the last days and still even need a month to check out everything... The blog is about an upcoming exhibition at the MOMA in New York that features projects on interactive design. I´m allready super curious what they will further choose from their allready impressing list. Please take yourself time to scroll through the projects, click at the hyperlinks and repost some ideas that are worth to be presented at the MOMA aswell. Another proper filled archive comes from Micheal Shirley. My Future Me features a truck load of interesting and inspiring ...

04.10.10getting personalHere is a video with a more personal and ambient view on our trip to the MediaLab and New York. We still work on all the interview and demo footage so please still be patient with us. The video is quite long and tries to capture the athmosphere and mood of the conference and the journey. Enjoy.

03.28.10TUNE YOUR SKILLSThere will be "Digital Processing" tutorial courses for designers, architects, construction engineers and young academics in these fields taking place in Berlin this year. The project is inititiated by the 3D Lab at the Technische Universität Berlin and the faculty of architecture at the University of the Arts Berlin. The people behind this offers are also involved in the 3D Modelling Symposium that is used to happen every year in Berlin. After the success of the last years, the symposium will be back again 2010 with a call for papers and several workshops and lectures. What is most interesting on this ...

03.12.10pixelsumo blog by Chris O´SheaBy working on a mediafacades project in the last days I tumbled over the pixelsumo blog by Chris o´Shea. He seems to has a similiar approach to our work on the blog and presents interesting and "worth talking about" projects in the field of interaction design, interface research and media art. His latest entry fits very well to our report of Chris Cerritos drawing bots. While a workshop at this years transmediale representatives of the Liverpool based FACT organisation showed us this amazing urban media screen installation. It´s so wonderful how he involves and attracts the people in the streets. By ...

01.29.10Sneaking in the Studios / Watching the WebBefore we will put up our own interview material from the studio workshops, we will show you the video by the ingenious Jay Silver. Jay is a wonderful person, giving the fun and joy on doing things so much priority, by simultaneously being serious with what he does. However, he is the man behind twinkle, one of the best project I´ve seen through out TEI°10 and created the Drawdio. While TEI°10 he was organising the studio section ´longside with Amon Millner. As a lot of you allready know there is the twitter feed right to this article. It´s the official TEI°10 ...

01.29.10Conducting Fabrics by Sarah KettleySarah Kettley presented woolen garments that are conductive and by that can be used as sensors. I am very interested in the now upcoming approaches of mixing up technology and fashion. There allready had been several trys to bring circuits into a flexible or maybe less rigid shape. For example the e-motion project of the University of the Arts Berlin, which was a collaboration between the department of fashion design and the Fraunhofer Institute for micro integration. In the project the students explored the possibilities of textile computing using bendable sensors and circuits, new innovative textiles or print colours and ...

01.25.10DisplayObjects presented by roel vertegaalWow. This was a very broad and challenging talk. Roel Vertegaal was presenting the paper by him and Eric Akaoka , Tim Ginn dealing with the problem of having no possibilty of adding a fully working display to styroform (or any other material) mock ups. The way he presented was very nice. He gave a broad overview on design techniques to deal with this lack of interactive displays: from Arduino over OLED technologies to the first non-interactive iPod modell. It´s refreshing to hear some one talking about interactivity in design processes out of a designers point of view. So his approach ...

01.25.10spatial sketch by karl d. d. willisAfter the 30 seconds madness session and the very inspiring keynote of john frazer the first paper presentation was taking place. Karl D.D. Wills from the japanese interface design group was presenting his approach on sketching threedimensionally using a two piece nintendo wiimote array to locate a LED attached to a penlike device. In his pesentation he explained the technical background and uses the photographs by Gijon Mili capturing picasso drawing in the air with a torch. Another project he refferd to was the sketching furniture project by front design and other a bit older explorations on making digital 3D ...

05.28.09controller insight insideAfter I thought that the controller topic is nearly finished here, these x-ray shots of game controllers came my way. This leads to literally deeper insight in the controller research, because you can see how the inside, the background of the interaction looks like and is made of. In opposite to the postings before the controllers haven´t been put up in a very new visual manner but these x ray photographies give it an overall new aesthetic value. The visual perception of x ray pictures are cultural linked to guts and bowels of either humans or animals. Now the controllers ...

05.08.09periodic systems revisitedIt seems to be an obvious inner wish of people to get things straight in order, making systems and defining relations. As it happens here a certain Mike from Port Jervis is trying to map the evolution of game controllers. I think he did a good job on this, even i do not really see the system of family ties behind. What is amazing, the names of the developers next to the first date of market appearance. Here you have Mike´s first version and the second reworked one version one version two.five I read these approaches of a system in a manner of ...
