The document discusses a concept for an interactive nightstand that stores and recalls memories through sound. [1] Manipulating the drawers would trigger memories and allow the user to compose new memories. [2] The goal is to provide a surrealistic and sensory experience. [3] Memory probes like sound, images, and textures would be used to cue specific memories.

Knowledge workers in the 21st century need to be connected. Clients demand quick turnaround on issues, social media is essential for marketing, colleagues collaborate online, and news and events are disseminated rapidly through the Internet. However, we're starting to see the risks of 24-7 Internet usage, including distracted driving, constant intrusion of personal time, confidentiality risk, and even fundamental changes to the way our brains work. This completely original session explores the hazards of constant connectedness and what professionals can do to manage their risks.

Jurassic Park Slope is a film and an app and an education curriculum to show how to create a guerrilla, no-budget film on multiple platforms. This short presentation was given on the project at the Tribeca Film Institute Interactive Day, 2012. For more information visit www.jurassicparkslope.com
Combining mobile technology and mobile interface design with automotive technology can improve the driving experience, while reducing the state of driver to mobile device dysfunction. Currently there are wide spread publicity about the dangers of texting or emailing while driving. Engaging in these activities while operating a vehicle can easily lead to information overload, causing dysfunction for the driver.
However, smart phones, have seen vast improvements over the past six years. These improvements have also allowed the reintroduction of tablet devices, such as Apple’s Ipad and Android Tablets. These large screen devices allow for new modes of interaction.
Versatile Driving Interface (VDI), is a mobile application created for a tablet device that will explore modes of interaction and communication between driver, mobile tablet device and car; in the context of driving. The application will combine shared functions between the tablet and the vehicle, such as music, temperature and navigation. Additionally it will interface wirelessly with discreet functions of the vehicle; such as windows, mirrors, trunk, doors, gas lid., etc. The application will also receive information from the vehicles diagnostic port, giving it access to a wealth of realtime vehicle information. Through this shared information tips can be given to the driver, depending on the state of the vehicle.
VDI will also serve as a drivers mobile profile, storing their preferences of seating arrangements, music choices, contacts and directions. The driving mobile profile stored in VDI, will allow drivers to travel with their mobile tablet devices and interact with functions of other vehicles.
Currently, there is no single mobile/automotive application on the market using this mix of tablet, car, physical and software connections. VDI is a concept that will explore those possible connections and attempt to provide a better driving experience.

INTANGIBLE- by Denise Flasz [ MFA Design and Technology ]Victoria Vesna
Intangible is an electro-kinetic sculpture that reacts to radio frequency waves from cell phones and WiFi in real time. The RF spectrum is one of the many unperceivable phenomenon that are in constant interaction with us. To shape this sculpture, I was mainly inspired by quantum principles like waveforms and particles. I analyzed existent theories of electromagnetic waves, movement, and functionality to produce a tangible representation of our everyday interaction with radio frequency waves.
Final exhibit slideshow for the Hybrid Worlds class at Parsons, The New School. This project is conceived as a DIY zine reflecting on the process of growing and exploring the world of mushrooms and mycology.
2. >> concept development
DESIGN STATEMENT:
Storing memories in format of snippets of sound, the nightstand recalls
and reconstructs the memories through user interactions. Playing with
the drawers triggers memories, and manipulates the mind to compose
them into new ones.
Media: sound, visual probes
Goal: To give visitor a surrealistic, sensorial experience.
6. >> memory organization?
> autobiographical memory & its formation
Autobiographical Memory Base Memory probes
by Conway and Pleydell-Pearce (2000) They are used as cues for specific memories.
Types of memory probes: verbal, visual, audio, odor, textile.
Lifetime Periods
General Events
Emotions
Emotion greatly affects the way autobiographical memories
are encoded and how people retrieve those memories.
Positive Negative
Event-specific Knowledge
