HCI Seminar Gallery: Curation & Ideation

Emergent forms of media are recontextualizing how we interact with our world and each other. As drinking from the firehose isn’t really possible, how do we shape information into structures to allow for generation of meaning? How do new ideas form and propagate?

This is a gallery showcasing my work for 2014 Fall Semester CSCE 667, taught by Andruid Kerne, of Texas A&M’s Interface Ecology Lab.

The Humble Bundle (http://t.co/Kst0HXaQZ3) aggregates media to join audiences, creators, and charity in a novel form. #Curation #Ideation
