the interactiondesign department of hgkz (university for art and design zurich) published a book about its perspective on “interactiondesign” called “total interaction” and is available since may 2005 at birkhäuser verlag.
asked to write an article for it, i spent some time with books and my machine. the outcome was “betweeen man and machine”. an article dealing with basic principles like sensors as imaging devices for machines.
