The conversation thing

I’ve just read the iht.com article on Muriel Cooper and have discovered a great mind. Never knew where the MIT logo came from and that it was her idea.

She was one of the visionaries that forseen design as interactive and driven by simplicity. In the 60s when tehnology was only in its infancy, people tended to see it as a big monster capable of changing social realities but unflexible.

Cooper has reinforced the idea that on-screen design can be better than just linecodes …. Almost 40 years after we’ve come to Microsoft surface and Apple’s iPhone. Muriel Cooper sure was right!

Looking up the Internet for this (re)Actor2: The Second International Conference on Digital Live Art - Leeds, UK conference, I’ve found one very interesting woman. Kind of what I’d like to have done after the next 10 years.

Interesting idea for women artists. It is open to artwork submission if you are a woman artist over 21 years of age. Interestingly enough, they don’t position themselves as feminists and militants, rather as visual interpreters on womanism so to say. Freedom of interpretation is their key.

Very good web project!
