03 Collecting Related Thoughts, Projects and Links
Great blog (related to a conference) about alternative content for public screens
Tiny networking sensor node
Some physical pixels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
There are quite a few, most developed around different concepts, and while respecting those, we can collect a list here.
This beautiful installation is here relevant from our project's aspect as a visible sensor field
Communal interaction based on cm
a beautiful example explained by Kevin Kelly
a new science in formulation
by Gordon Pask (press arrows to proceed)
Programmable matter
some of our earlier thoughts
