A snapshot of beautiful installations and interventions involving new technology, often in provocative roles.



"Making Things Talk" by Tom Igoe (Make/O'Reilly)

A wonderful book full of great ideas and how-tos on developing interesting physical computing projects.

A very useful primer for three of the current mainstays of physical computing - Arduino, Processing and OpenFrameworks.



...and two more we wrote


"Design Meets Disability" by Graham Pullin (MIT press)

An exploration of how art school-trained designers could contribute to assistive technology, and how this could provoke radical new directions in design in return.



"Interactive Media: The Semiotics of Embedded Interaction" by Shaleph O'Neill (Springer)
