DECONSTRUCTING NETWORKS EXHIBITION BY JONAH BRUCKER-COHEN| Deconstructing Networks by Jonah Brucker-Cohen is an exhibition of projects that critically examines and questions the proliferation of networked media in both physical and online instantiations. Projects in the exhibition include: "Alerting Infrastructure!," a website hit counter that destroys a building; PoliceState, a fleet of radio-controlled police cars whose movements are dictated by "suspicious" keywords scanned on a local network; Wifi-Hog, a tactical tool to liberate public wireless nodes; SpeakerPhone, a sequence of individually addressable speakers that expose the hidden pathways of data networks; Crank The Web, a browser that allows the user to physically "crank" their bandwidth to download a website; and IPO Madness, a slot machine that generates domain names in the quest for an eventual IPO. The exhibition will also feature a one-night performance of SimpleTEXT, an audio-visual project that is controlled by audience members texting messages from their cellphones and a workshop entitled MIDI Scrapyard Challenge which will be held by the artist and collaborator Katherine Moriwaki, where participants can create digital instruments from discarded or cast off materials. |Coin-Operated|

THE SIX SPECIES OF INFORMATION ARCHITECT| Given that IA as a profession is really only about 10yrs old, it makes sense that most IAs have a 'past life' of one kind or another. |del.icio.us|

DAN SAFFER'S SO YOU WANT TO BE AN INTERACTION DESIGNER 2006| Adaptive Path's Dan Saffer: "Interaction designers get paid to play with ideas-abstract ideas that can become real-and few jobs can boast that. You can brainstorm things that don't exist and then build them. You can shape behavior, making the world more pleasant and meaningful. You get to sketch ideas in colored markers on whiteboards and post-it notes. You help people solve problems. And if you are good enough, you'll work with companies whose technology and/or influence is so great, you can make a significant difference in the world." Inspired by Robert Reimann's 2001 essay. |IxD Discussion List|
