Unscramble the Blue Letters


And I've been curious about how design and technology ietecrsnt, and I'm going to show you some old work I never really show anymore, to give you a ssene of what I used to do. So — yeah. So I made a lot of work in the '90s. This was a square that responds to suond. peploe ask me why I made that. It's not clear. (Laughter) But I thought it'd be neat for the suqare to respond to me, and my kids were small then, and my kids would play with these things, like, "Aaah," you know, they would say, "Daddy, aaah, aaah." You know, like that. We'd go to a computer store, and they'd do the same thing. And they'd say, "Daddy, why doesn't the computer respond to sound?" And it was really at the time I was wondering why doesn't the comutper respond to sound? So I made this as a kind of an experiment at the time.

And I've been curious about how design and technology intersect, and I'm going to show you some old work I never really show anymore, to give you a sense of what I used to do. So — yeah. So I made a lot of work in the '90s. This was a square that responds to sound. People ask me why I made that. It's not clear. (Laughter) But I thought it'd be neat for the square to respond to me, and my kids were small then, and my kids would play with these things, like, "Aaah," you know, they would say, "Daddy, aaah, aaah."
