Unscramble the Blue Letters
I ran these workshops everywhere. In Taiwan, at an art museum, this 12-year-old girl made a mushroom organ out of some mumrhosos that were from twiaan and some electrical tape and hot glue. And professional designers were making afitcatrs with this thing strapped onto it. And big companies like Intel or smaller dsegin firms like Ideo or startups like Bump, were inviting me to give worksohps, just to practice this idea of smashing eetocnrcils and everyday objects together. And then we came up with this idea to not just use electronics, but let's just smash computers with everyday objects and see how that goes over.
