Takeaway Fesival

Takeaway Fesival is happening at the end of May at the Dana Centre Science Museum in London. Similar in some ways to Makefest, the festival seeks “to continue to provide a platform and hence public support for artists whose practice involves the use of technologies either on the edge of their own knowledge or outside accepted methodologies currently available to artists/designers.”

Sketching in Hardware (“a summit on the design and use of physical computing toolkits”) returns for 2008. This year the event comes to the east coast, where it will be held at the Rhode Island School of Design.

Sketching in Hardware 2007

Sketching in Hardware continues in 2007. This year’s theme is ‘Boundary Conditions’:

Through discussion, experience and sketching we will examine the boundaries in developing physical computing: boundaries between components, between standards, between making objects and creating experiences, between cost and sustainability, between the expected and the unorthodox, and between creator and toolkit.

Sketching in Hardware is sponsored by ThingM and Tellart

Sketching in Hardware Conference

The Sketching in Hardware Conference just wrapped up.

From the conference description:

Rapid prototyping of information processing devices offers a new way of creating technology for industrial design, experience design and technological creative expression. Sketching in Hardware 1 will bring together a select group of people intimately involved in this field to discuss the ideas, methods, challenges and potential of these technologies.

I’m interested to hear about what went down at the Henry Ford Museum this week. I suppose the rest of us will have to wait for the blog posts to percolate. For now, we’ll just have to look at the flickr pool and wonder.
