9/26 Homework - Project 14 and Reading Response

Interview with Tom Igoe 

Igoe discussed about a variety of different things with this interview, mostly at the behest of the interviewer who seemed like they wanted to get a general sense of what he does and advocates for. He definitely has the mindset of a teacher, and emphasizes the work he does with his students and the ideas he instills in them. Igoe understands that a variety of skills and knowledge are needed for the practice in his field, especially in that of physical computing. It's also nice to see another source of validation and inspiration to do projects and pieces utilizing simple techniques and sensors. Despite the technical simplicity, everything can still be very profound. And it can be applied in various ways, from entertainment to something evocative to a form of activism.
