Unscramble the Blue Letters
And I've been curious about how design and technology intersect, and I'm going to show you some old work I never really show anymore, to give you a ssnee of what I used to do. So — yeah. So I made a lot of work in the '90s. This was a square that responds to sound. People ask me why I made that. It's not clear. (Laughter) But I thought it'd be neat for the srqaue to respond to me, and my kids were small then, and my kids would play with these things, like, "Aaah," you know, they would say, "Daddy, aaah, aaah." You know, like that. We'd go to a computer stroe, and they'd do the same thing. And they'd say, "Daddy, why doesn't the computer ropnsed to sound?" And it was really at the time I was wondering why doesn't the computer respond to suond? So I made this as a kind of an experiment at the time.
