Inpired by the ITP Show, Spring 2009

If you’re in New York today, and love the combination of art, interaction design and technology, you’d be foolish not to visit the ITP Spring Show (5-9pm @ 4th floor, 721 b/way). The calibre of projects in this show was simply spectacular – powerful concepts and really great designs. I am so glad I made it down to New York for this. Came back excited, inspired, and really wanting to make and build things! Browse below for a list of my favorites (see my flickr feed for more):
