My friends in Malmö will have one of their instal­la­tions placed per­ma­nent­ly in Dale: “Tele­mega­phone Dale is a sev­en-metres tall loud­speak­er sculp­ture on top of the Jøtul­shau­gen moun­tain over­look­ing the idyl­lic Dals­fjord in West­ern Nor­way. Any­one can dial +47 90 369389 and have the sound of their voice pro­ject­ed out across the fjord, the val­ley and the vil­lage of Dale.” How awe­some is that?

Nico­las finds a book on design­ing respon­sive envi­ron­ments. From 1985. From read­ing his notes it seems that, back then, some­one decid­ed to write the book we’d need in the future.

“He reached for his loaded AS3. It felt cool and heavy in his hand, reas­sur­ing, but the iPhones were free­bas­ing on C, real strong shit. How was he gonna keep pace?” Pos­si­bly the coolest intro to a tech event I have ever seen. If I were close to Hove, I would be there in a, um, Flash.
