g-speak at RISD

I’ve been meaning to post about the work we did with g-speak at RISD last spring. PLW-friend Amber Frid-Jimenez came on board to teach course called Embodied Computation: Design for Fashion, Information, and the Body. As students in the class, we focused on radical ways to use gestural technology like g-speak for collaboration, drawing, textile design, pattern design, and play. Marcos Ojeda took a bunch of great photographs of the course and has placed them on Flickr.

Now Amber and Kelly Dobson are running a four-week g-speak workshop as part of the Digital+Media course Outer Space Inner Space, as Kwin writes at oblong.com.

Oblong Industries unveiled TAMPER at Sundance Film Fesitval this year as part of the New Frontier exhibition in the heart of snowy Park City. Visitors to the site used their hands and gestured to create whimsical digital video collages (as in the video above). Some of those collages — along with footage of their creation — are up on our YouTube Channel.
