BUGGYAIR WINS IOT LAUNCHPAD COMPETITION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best news came at the end of 2014, as we won INNOVATE UK’s IoT Launchpad Competition<\/a>\u00a0alongwith six other brilliant companies. We are thrilled to be able to get an opportunity to build BuggyAir, and IoTA through it, in partnership with\u00a0hardware leaders Sciencescope, software experts Virtual Technologies, our IoTA champion Hugh Knowles<\/a> and long time collaborator Philipp Ronnenberg<\/a>. It will be an opportunity to sensitively design, shape and build an alternative IoT project, one which focuses on people, their needs and aspirations. A project where we begin to work directly with people to test accurate mobile sensor kits, understand how data is collected, how they can read and make sense of the data they collect and whom they want, or dont want to, share their data with. From early April we enter into a round of product development, user research and ethnography, whilst actively exploring how we can design open data policy frameworks directly with people and communities. If this is an area that you are working in, do drop us a line<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DRONE AVIARY AT V&A’s ALL OF THIS BELONGS TO YOU
\n<\/strong>We have exciting news from the Lab too. Our ongoing R&D project exploring the emerging cultural significance of civilian drones received great reviews<\/a> at Tokyo’s avantgarde 21_21 Design Sight<\/a>, as part of their landmark show: THE FABMIND: Hints of the Future in a Shifting World<\/a>. Following from that, we are delighted to be invited to to present another instantiation of the project at the V&A Museum’s upcoming show: ALL OF THIS BELONGS TO YOU<\/a>. It opens to the public on 1st April, and runs through till 19th July 2015.<\/p>\n

A NEW PROJECT AROUND INDIA’S MARS ORBITOR MISSION\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are excited to launch a new research strand in the studio around national space programs and their relationship to people,\u00a0with our first ethnographic experiment: Mangala for All<\/a>.\u00a0As India\u00a0Mangalyaan Space Probe, or the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), successfully orbits Mars,\u00a0we\u00a0roamed the streets of Ahmedabad with a suitcase of miniature deified versions of the Mangalyaan space probe,\u00a0investigating questions around power, science, progress, development and jugaad-innovation. We are now in the process of making a film which, we hope, will\u00a0reveal a more complex and fine-grained understanding of people\u2019s relationship with Mangalyaan, and the Indian Space Programme.<\/p>\n

ORGANISING AND CURATING LONG NOW LONDON
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been members of\u00a0Long Now Foundation’s<\/a>\u00a0London\u00a0meetup group<\/a>\u00a0ever since\u00a0Paul Miller<\/a>\u00a0started it way back in 2008. It was a great group of people, but after a couple of years the meetup went dormant for a bit. Towards the end of last year, we took on the baton to reinstate the group, with\u00a0our first Meetup\u00a0<\/a>where Corinna Gardner and Rory Hyde of the V&A, and Alastair Parvain from WikiHouse gave fantastic talks. We then had our\u00a0second meetup<\/a>\u00a0in January with guest speakers Genevieve Bell and Adam Greenfield. We are deeply grateful to\u00a0Impact Hub Westminster\u00a0<\/a>for hosting us so far. Do\u00a0join the group<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0drop us a line<\/a>\u00a0if you have thoughts about potential speakers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PRESENTING AT ST. ETIENNE BIENNALE
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are delighted to be invited to present the 5th Dimensional Camera at the Hypervital<\/a> show in the\u00a0Saint-\u00c9tienne Biennale in France later this month, alongwith a great group of colleagues and friends. The project will later be exhibited in Germany for the rest of this year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BOOK CONTRIBUTIONS
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

We received two beautiful books in the studio last week with our contributions! The Atlas of Contemporary Networks<\/a> is a complilation of projects by from the MA Communication Design at IUAV Venice, led by Ivor Williams and Marco Ferrari. It includes an editorial by myself, alongside many other brilliant folks. We also wrote about our approach to speculative ethnography for the book ‘Beyond Design Ethnography<\/a>‘ edited by Nicolas Nova.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TEACHING
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

We continue doing bits of teaching this year, with an ongoing mentorship role in the MA Media Design<\/a>\u00a0program at the HEAD Geneva, and a lecture at Carnegie Mellon, and few upcoming workshops.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And finally, as we build a bigger team, and work with new clients and audiences, we would love to hear from you. So do\u00a0get in touch<\/a>\u00a0if you would like to hire us, work with us or collaborate.<\/p>\n

Adios for now!<\/em><\/p>\n
