Here’s a link to a video of the lecture I delivered at the Prototyping Cultures: Social Experimentation, Do-It-Yourself Science and Beta-Knowledge seminar (November 4 and 5, 2010) at the Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales (CSIC) and Medialab-Prado, respectively. Here’s a link to further documentation of the seminar.

Carl DiSalvo: Speculative Design for Speculative Agricultures
Carl DiSalvo was our guest speaker at this weeks Design and Social Science Seminar Series. I was most struck by his articulation of the notion of ‘Public Design’ as opposed to Critical and Speculative Design. In part, this included working with people’s alternative farming practices and instantiating their ‘politics’ through robotic devices co-designed during workshop [...]

Prototyping Cultures: Social Experimentation, Do-It-Yourself Science And Beta Knowledge
A two day conference organised by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Madrid, 4-5 November 2010 Conference Abstract Prototypes have acquired certain prominence and visibility in recent times. Software development is perhaps the case in point, where the release of non-stable versions of programmes has become commonplace, as is famously the case in free and [...]

Environmental Sensors in the Home
Last Friday we (the Interaction Research Studio) deployed our first experimental sensor node in a house in Lewisham. The sensor node is a combination of multiple sensors that monitor various environmental factors. The device is battery powered and the sensor readings are wirelessly sent to the Pachube web site, by way of an Arduino set-up. The sensor [...]
