Ryoji Ikeda, The Transfinite
As I alluded to in my last post, I’m spending June at NYU’s ITP grad program. It’s a hard thing to describe, but it’s kind of like an inventing camp for nerds. We learn how to make things (check out my MTA sign beta I made on Saturday!), about electricity and electrical programming, hacking things…
