I have recently contributed to the April edition of Ethnography Matters on Ethnomining and the combination of qualitative & quantitative data. My story describes the overall process of our work with sensor data at the Louvre Museum in Paris. I particularly focus on the importance of mixed-methods when its comes to g…

Quick update: “Curious Rituals: gestural interactions in the digital everyday”, the book and our short film, was shown few weeks ago in the Logotel’s (In)visible Design – 100 Stories from the Future and Beyond, an exhibition for Milano Design Week 2013. Thanks again Stefano Mattei and Francesca Rizzo!

Nick and I came back again to the Emerge 2013 event at Arizona State University to workshop an issue of “Green Pages”, the Laboratory’s ‘Quarterly Design & Technology Fiction Almanac.’

Amongst the projects we publicly declare here on the Laboratory blog, there are probably x2 others that we don’t. We plan to change that ratio henceforth.

Telesound “sounds” intriguing:

Curious Rituals is a project about gestures, postures and rituals people adopt when using digital technologies. It’s both a book documenting gestures we observed, and a design fiction film that speculates about their evolution
