Design

communication between people and thingsTalk to Me explores the communication between people and things. All objects contain information that goes well beyond their immediate use or appearance. In some cases, objects like cell phones and computers exist to provide us with access to complex systems and networks, behaving as gateways and interpreters. Whether openly and actively, or in subtle, subliminal ways, things talk to us, and designers help us develop and improvise the dialogue.

A machine that knits codes – the “TK 730″ (2011) is a work by the eTextiles Workspace group (Anja Hertenberger, Leonie Urff, Ricardo O’Nascimento and Meg Grant).

What happens when senses are cross-wired in the brain? Can data convey different meanings when interpreted as a purely visual object?  What other ways of interpreting a single piece of data could there be? This is what the TK Series attempts to explore.
