situated technologies

Régine Debatty of We Make Money Not Art (thanks for putting us on your list of new blogs, Regine!) interviews Mark Shepard. Mark is Assistant Professor of Architecture and Media Study at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, where he is a co-director of the Center for Virtual Architecture. In the department of very small worlds, I first met Mark over twenty years ago (!) in the first year architecture studio I took at Cornell. Mark recently organized the Architecture and Situated Technologies symposium at the Architectural League in which I participated earlier this fall. Later today, after I turn in the latest round of edits on Blue Monday to ACTAR, I'll be in the city discussing NetLab projects with Mark and Adam Greenfield.

Video and audio of many of the lectures from the Architecture and Situated Technologies symposium put together by Omar Khan, Mark Shepard, and Trebor Scholz at the Architectural League this fall is now online at the symposium site.

My own talk, "Almost Nothing: Two Ways to Program Things" can be found here.

I am happy with the way the podcast turned out and am thinking about putting together more podcasts on this site this year, including perhaps an entire course or two this spring.
