i have birthed another poster paper into this world! The paper is also by scott klemmer. It is about a toolkit for physical-digital interactions.
This paper has been sitting on my desk since last year. :| I finally read it though, and it's very relevant. attached here for the remote-dynamics
In Alan Kay's 70th birthday tribute book, Kim Rose talks about Alan's ideas on literacy - that it's not just about consumption but also about production. I was motivated by this (and inspired by Josh's poster) to make this one, to turn my consumption into a creation that is hopefully easier to digest on first glance. But as Josh pointed out it takes tons of effort to produce something "literate." I wonder if equalizing my production-to-consumption ratio means that I produce more things that are crappier. maybe that's exactly what our group is hoping to solve.

After reading Klemmer et al.'s "How Bodies Matter" (a survey of the ways that embodiment plays into interaction design), I felt like it would be easier to talk about if we had something to point at and riff off of. Also, the paper is based on a five-theme outline, so there was a really obvious structure to use.<HowBodiesMatter-DIS2006.pdf><poster.pdf>So last night I made the widest HTML file of my life:<out.png>And today I printed it:<2016-02-11 16.06.51.jpg>It's like the "How Bodies Matter" newspaper or something.I considered making custom icons to illustrate the different parts of the paper, but I ended up doing the crudest thing possible, and just transplanted the paper text into a new format.Given that I didn't really apply any human intelligence to this activity, it is frustrating that we can't just throw all of our papers into the Poster Machine for discussion purposes. (I estimate 1hr of intelligence-free effort would be required to do another paper like this.)I have not yet had a conversation with someone while standing next to the poster. I will let you know how it goes.
