Open Garments @ Dag van het Onderzoek en de Innovatie
On Thursday, November 17, 2011, the K.U.Leuven Association organized “Dag van het Onderzoek en de Innovatie“ (Day of Research and Innovation) in Leuven. This day is a meeting point for all researchers of the institutions of the Association. For this occasion, Social Spaces was asked to develop three videos about three different research projects. One topic involved one of our own research projects namely ‘open garments’.

Internship at Social Spaces
For the last two years we had an intern. First there was Sabina, who mainly worked on the Map-It project then there was Lila who did a great job in the first phases of the ATOM-project. This year we are looking for new interns…
If you are interested in social design, experiments with technology and media in public space and you do not mind to join us in baking muffins once in a while, then read what you need to do to apply after the break…

Released: Volume #28: Internet of Things
“When things start talking back, you’ve become part of an Internet of Things. Auto-sensoring, basic intelligence, interaction, we’re increasingly part of a world were things and living souls are equally connected. The fridge is a node just as you are.”
On July 15th, Volume #28: Internet of Things was released. Diving into new dimensions of reality, into the consequences for design and for our understanding of our own position in the world, authors such as Stephen Gage, Shintaro Miyazaki, Nina Larsen, Edwin Gardner and Marcell Mars have contributed to the book.
