  • iphone vs wiimote

design and media

  • communication
  • reflection
  • theories
  • practice: distributed learning vs. master class

education (my own education and the one from others)

  • taking a standpoint: physical computing
  • open courseware
  • open tools
  • example: arduino
  • relationship with students: dogma vs. freedom

arts

  • taking a standpoint: action
  • cc lincensing
  • open tools
  • example: power pilgrims

design

all together

creation of everyday objects for social intervention and study of society
demo or die: why should the production of a fashion designer be closer to the customer thant the one of the industrial designer?

plan for Sadi

  • development of an educational resource for design education
  • development of a literature list on critical thinking in design
  • development of an open line of work through the communication towards local/global actors/stakeholders
  • development of an exhibition together with sadi's students to proof the concept

examples of work

questions:

1) is arduino a technical tool? 2) why this way of approaching technolgy in design? 3) development plan? 4) where are people learning/teaching with Arduino?
