OUGD603 / Extended Practice / I Need You To Change / Kate Stone: DJ Decks Made of... Paper

I was passed on to this video by a friend after me telling them about the conductive ink breakthrough!

The video shows Kate Stone - a scientist / designer describing her involvement with conductive ink and some of the products that she created through meticulous testing and forward thinking. She demonstrates a poster with an image of a drum kit, which wirelessly plays drum sounds via her iphone... amazing!

Finally she shows off a dj deck, held in her hand, just a piece of card which again wirelessly connects to an ipad - she proceeds to do loads of dj stuff just by stroking a piece of paper. There's something magical about suddenly not having to touch a glass screen and yet getting results that are impossible with just the paper itself.

Very inspiring and has made me consider that whatever is produced must be immediately exciting and interesting to a wide audience.
