If you're in the Milan area over the next couple of days, you might want to check out the thesis show of the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII). The 17 projects featured provide much mental stimulation and hands-on enjoyment in their exploration of novel applications and new models of interaction. From innovative investigations into the development of issue-based voting interfaces to whimsically romantic coincidence-creating media tools, via the application of reputation as currency, the work on show provides lovely-edge examples of inventive uses of technology.
Disclaimer: I was honoured to interact with IDII as visiting faculty a couple of times this last academic year.
The show "Limited edition 17/17" is running at the Galvanotecnica Bugatti up to June 10 (12-20:00).
