Second Blogject Workshop

A participated to the Second Blogject Workshop organized by Nicolas Nova and Julian Bleecker at the EPFL. I led the “nabaztag” group. We presented the concept of a “spokespet” for blogjects. An ambient device moderating and intermediating between a user and his/her blogjects. Mark Meagher did a good job summarizing the concept and the workshop.

My fuzzy attempt to draw on the blackboard the early concept of the “spokespet”

Key concept I keep from this workshop are:
- recycling of data
- object dynamic ecosystem including human
- Avoid control or judgment, advise instead
