This Happened... by Brian Fichtner
Last night, when cruising around the internet, I found myself watching a video produced by This happened..., a company that organizes speaking events based on the stories behind interactive design.
Launched in 2007 by a trio of artists and designers working in London, This happened seeks to create a more open exchange of ideas and methods in a field too frequently beset with creative protectionism.
With over thirty talks archived online, from Crispin Jones illuminating the development of Tengu, his sound reactive USB character, to Irene van Peer's explanation of her Mahlangu Handwasher, This happened has inspirational content for anyone working in the varying fields of design. It's my latest browser bookmark.

Craigslist Redesign
Tasking leading interface designers including Scott Thomas, Pentagram and NYTimes.com with re-imagining one of the Internet's oldest stalwarts, Wired's latest in their Extreme Makeover series is a telling exercise on the state of design online today. On one hand, Thomas' minimalist take (above right) makes a pro-status quo argument, recognizing that the site functions perfectly well in its current form with only minor, mostly...

Analog and Digital Collide in a Burst of Text and LEDs at the ITP Spring 2009 Show
Twice each year students from NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) exhibit their final projects. Ranging between artistic and commercial, conceptual and pragmatic, the work is always inspirational. With every show there seems to be an emergent theme—this year's collision of analog and digital isn't unprecedented, but does deliver new interpretations to get excited about. AL-gorithm, by Alex Kauffmann Alex Kauffmann, the artist behind AL-gorithm,...

Milan Design Week 2009: ECAL
The University of Art and Design Lausanne, or ECAL, has been consistently turning out some intriguing talent under the directorship of Martin Schgaguler. While the curriculum teaches students to each hone their own identity, there remains a distinct style that sets the school's program apart from that of, say Design Academy Eindhoven or the RCA in London. An attention to detail and a poetic simplicity...
