School of Architecture and io1.0, Rome

A low-tech sensors and actuators workshop held in October 2007 at Rome Design Week and the University of Rome, part of the workshop series around Low Tech Sensors and Actuators, the research project by Usman Haque and Adam Somlai-Fischer commissioned by FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, Liverpool). The project, published in July 2005 as a free Creative Commons handbook, showed artists and architects how to reconfigure cheap electronic toys and gadgets into sensors and actuators for interactive spaces and objects.
