futures stuff.

Just some things from Ellen Lupton's "Skins" that jumped out at me the other day in the library. I jotted them down before they closed (early and saferide was cancelled). The librarian dude came into the copy room and turned off the lights while I was making copies. Really super. I'm not too impressed with him. Especially when he (or whoever else) acts pissy 'cause I don't do the self check out. So yeah:

- Knowledge gathering device
- Pleasure/pain
- Responds to heat & cold
- Lacks definitive boundaries
- Complex, ambiguous forms
- Mediate b/w users and products in digital realm (customized buttons and controls)
- representational: avatars
