Rafael Lozano-Hemmer - Projects "Pan-Anthem" is an interactive sound installation where the national anthem of every country in the World plays back on a movable speaker that is magnetically attached to a large wall. The speakers are precisely arranged to visualize national statistics: population, GDP, area, number of women in parliament, GINI, year of independence, HDI and so on. For example, when the work is configured to show military spending per capita, on the far left of the wall the public can hear the anthems of countries without military forces like Costa Rica, Iceland and Andorra while at the far right they can hear Saudi Arabia, Israel and the United States, which spend more than $2,000 per person per year. If no one is in the exhibition room all the speakers are silent, but as a visitor approaches a particular set of speakers these start playing automatically, creating a positional panoramic playback of anthems associated to similar statistics.

We've all met great people on social media sites. And there is usually some singular trait that drew you to interact with these great people. You may notice an industry pro talking about his grandmother who just used to live next to Abraham Zapruder. Maybe you find out someone went to pastry school while they "searched for identity" before becoming a CPA. You might discover that someone who has been so hard to get a response from on Twitter actually shares your love for collecting frog figurines. This is the joy of building your social network -- you find out all of these great nuggets that help shape a picture of each person in your network. But what's intriguing is that while you value one set of traits in a new friend, another person could value that exact same friend for a completely different set of traits.

Scroll or flip? In 1987, the biggest neck beards in tech held a conference on the Future of Hypertext and there were two camps, “Card Sharks” and “Holy Scrollers”. They had an epic battle over the following question: Should you scroll or flip pages on the screen? Who won the fight? Let’s first look at how the discussion went. As happens in every new field, a struggle is already taking place over which hypertext methods are the best, with creators defending their philosophies. In practice, it’s pretty clear who won the debate: 99% of all websites scroll and most desktop applications scroll when they display a lot of information. Cards have a fixed-size presentation canvas.

The Gleeve Turns Game Design Into Child's Play | Co.Design Every parent knows the story of the kid who tears open his expensive techno-gift only to spend hours playing with the cardboard box it came in. Laura Seargeant Richardson of Frog Design wants to create a toy that's as open-ended as the empty box -- but gets kids interested in digital technology, too. So along with her collaborator Alis Cambol, Richardson came up with a vision for the future of play called the Gleeve. Richardson developed the concept as part of a talk she was giving at MIT on the future of play, in which she pointed out the troubling influence of new media platforms: Kids are getting used to the idea of being mere players in worlds designed by adults, rather than creators of their own play-worlds. But with the right tools, the pendulum of play can still swing back. Richardson wondered what a digitally interactive toy that kept kids in control would look like.
