*You go to design events, and you learn something new every day.
Carl DiSalvo - A Short Rant on The What & Why of Public Design from Alfredo Aponte on Vimeo.
“The Public Design Workshop is a research studio in the Digital Media program in the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture, at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
“We explore how design contributes to the construction of publics, articulates contemporary social and political issues, and fosters new forms of public engagement with technology. We do this through speculative design, design research, participatory workshops and events, and theory & criticism.
“We are currently working in the areas of community robotics, participatory sensing, and critical visualization and mapping.

“Laura Fries, Lead Designer
“The growBot project is an exploratory, moderated conversation space between technologists, roboticists, engineers and small-scale organic farmers. The growBot project asks: What innovations might occur in the conversation space between these parties? Modern agricultural robotics are geared towards large scale industrial production – what new ideas could these conversations cultivate? This moderated discussion, scheduled for Spring and Summer 2010, is equal parts community building and exploration, cross-disciplinary education, and speculative design.”
