Week 4 Reading
So went a little backwards, since they were light reading, the Happy Feedback Machine is an amazing project and even I felt like a kid again looking at it! It’s a great design that is free to many interpretations and countless of reuse! And that of course, at least in my opinion, we as adults …
Response: Ira Glass on Storytelling
I get where he is getting at, where there is an action and reaction/reflection of an action. Then again perhaps he’s looking at it from a different perspective than I am. He’s a broadcaster for a talk show, my background in this area comes from sequential art and animation? What he’s saying, like being critical, …
Observations With Interactive Technology
