physical computing:
The piece helped me realize that physical computing isn’t just about coding and hardware, it’s about designing meaningful experiences. The idea that interaction is a two way conversation made me see the importance of listening to users through how they react to what I build. It encouraged me to think more deeply about how the physical form and behavior of a project guide people without needing explanations.
interactive art:
This reading made me rethink what it means to create interactive art. Instead of focusing on showing my message, I should focus more on creating an environment where others can explore and make meaning themselves. It challenged my habit of controlling the viewer’s experience and reminded me that real interaction only happens when I let go of control and simply observe how people engage with the work.
