==Define a nice identity for yourself==
Choose a good, relevant domain name : if you are a Ping-Pong racket maker, best it to have http://pingpongrakets.com as your domain.
Than it is a good idea to name each of your page, your sub-folders relevantly http://pingpongrakets.com/buy/nice_green_rackets.htm (with title “buy nice green Ping-Pong racket”),  so people would easily remember them and it will be indexed better.

“sad hat l happy hat” is one of design interventions in the “benchspace walk workshop”, part of London architecture festival.

We like London, this city-world full of differences, ethnic variety, colors, textures, sounds; within a block distance the environment can change totally. We are perpetually commuting and when we think about architecture, we think of vertical constructions, enclosing horizontal space.

Sad Hat | Happy Hat from cesar harada on Vimeo.

Naturally we have a tendency to look up when we are happy and down when we are sad. We want to bring emphasis on the ground and the sky, amplifying one’s mood. The “sad hat | happy hat” can be worn in two different ways, happy (looking up) or sad (looking down). The reflective surface inside multiplies the perception of either the sky or the ground.

But what happens when you either look only up or down? You bump into stuff! Maybe you need someone to complement your perception: if you are sad you may need someone happy, if you are happy someone sad, to walk together safely.

The object can be experienced in 2 main ways, outside-in and inside-out. The outside-in aspects: the appearance of the hats indicates obviously what mood you are in. This experience critiques our excess of self-awareness in public, how much we care about how others are looking at us. The inside-out aspect provides a thrilling sensorial experience, something different and playful, we might not care how people will look at us, in our own visual and acoustic distorted world.

The “sad hat | happy hat” is a simple playful perception limb that directs and amplifies ones perception and mood, allowing to re-consider how one feels about the city while creating an extreme social relation between the mask user and the others, encouraging the necessary complementary pair relation

Turn up the volume, full-screen, comfy, ready for a basic synesthetic experience? I like so much!

I went to see this exhibition of Sinta Tantra, beautiful blend of installation and poetry.
You can also see the high quality video here. 

Scattered House, Usman Haque & Adam Somlai Fischer from cesar harada on Vimeo.

“[source] Scattered House is an architectural experiment founded on a truly contemporary notion of space, where issues of ubiquitous connectivity, family diasporas, design-by-occupant, and public control technology come together in an installation assembled from inexpensive electronic toys and gadgets. 
We are inviting members of the public to visit the Hungarian Cultural Centre and contribute to elements of the “house” —  they can either bring toys and gadgets that will become part of the amalgamated whole or we will also have a selection of items that they can try hacking themselves. Architects and interaction designers Adam Somlai-Fischer and Usman Haque, authors of the online manual “Low Tech Sensors and Actuators” [download 1MB], will be on hand to advise and assist in this process, as well as Bengt Sjölén, artist from Stockholm.
The three day event will be suitable for families and accompanied children, as well as design (or non-design) students who would like to be part of the event. The public will help design and build fragments of the interactive “Scattered House” which will be exhibited internationally later in the year. People will be able to open up toys and gadgets (that they have either brought along or which are provided for them), gain a simple understanding of how they work, and learn how to connect them directly into the installation themselves.  
No experience is necessary, though enthusiasm for hacking open toys is welcome!”

It was a brilliant experience, I just regret I don’t have so much footage of the installation at the Hungarian Embassy, but a lot of interview instead, so here is a quite similar experiment the same people did, if you want to see more in detail the hacked electronic components: 

Reconfigurable House 2 at Place@Space at Z33.be from Adam Somlai-Fischer on Vimeo.

The construction was very intense today… tired! Everything has to be done tomorow, big time! I’m quite impressed how disorganised the construction was, but somehow it seems that we are going to make it happen… put it together with some spanish magic perhaps.

Here are the people of our team who made this possible! Without these guys to hold the tubes, without thes many clever hands, wouldn’t have been possible … OOAAAAHHH OYASUMI!!!

I like writting on wikipedia a lot I used to loved the feeling, the love of the duty. As I just wrote this article, I want to share it, sorry for the encyclopedical tone! I just had a lecture by this man, exellent designer - programmer - organiser and just gave me a lot of energy and hope for the future being so humble and great!

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adam_Somlai-Fischer

Adam (Szabolcs) Somlai-Fischer born 1976 in Budapest an architect and interaction designer interested in the cultural qualities of new technologies. He creates installations and experiments that blend spaces, technologies and interactivity. A team worker, Adam collaborates with designers, artists and engineers, where motivations are shared to create projects from conglomerates of thinking cultures.

Adam currently directs “aether architecture”, working as the program director of “Kitchen Budapest medialab”, and he is lecturing and holding workshops in architecture and design schools across Europe. He graduated from the Architecture + Urban Research Laboratory, KTH, Stockholm, taught at the Architecture and Media technology departments at KTH, working as a guest researcher at the Smart Studio (now Interactive Institute in Stockholm[1]). Today besides being a guest researcher at the MOKK Media Research and holding workshops in design schools such as Domus Academy, Milan and Goldsmith College, London, he is directing “aether architecture”, an office for mediated environments based in Budapest.

Important works

Examples include Reorient[2] - a space made of thousands of electronic toys, Ping Genius Loci[3] - a field of outdoor analogue pixels, Brainmirror[4]- a mixed reality experience presenting MRI through a mirror, Low Tech Sensors and Actuators[5] workshop and handbook, and Induction house[6]- a set of experiments for spatial projections. These projects were shown at the Venice Biennale of Architecture 2004, 2006, ISEA 2004 Helsinki and 2006 San Jose, Ars Electronica 2006, Kiasma Museum Helsinki, Ludwig Museum Budapest, China International New Media Arts[7] Exhibition 2008, NTT ICC Tokyo.

Interests

Horizontal collaboration

One of his main principle is that the idea, the project is the center of the action. Therefore there is not one author, nor authority and novelty is not a major preoccupation even if every project, in its practical existence requires a lot of creativity and invention: not creating technologies but inventing creative usages of recent technologies, often through hacking and hybridization. The product of the collaborative process in the architecture realm is therefore more oriented toward the culture quality, embodying technology as culture. When authorship is involved with identified individuals, Bengt Sjölén, Usman Haque, Tamas Szakal, Massimo Banzi, Peter Halacsy, Peter Hudini, Andras Kangyal, Attila Nemes, Anita Pozna can be picked as recurrent collaborators. Peer production (coined within social sciences) in a “controlled environment likeKitchen Budapest created the necessity of a work methodology : throwing ideas, and a collectively agreed distributing of time, “60% own personal project, 35% someone else’s project, 5% practical collective tasks)”. The work of Adam Somlai-Fischer in the Kitchen Budapest is more then to identify areas of interest and organise the dynamics as groups of work : “Mobile expression”, “Networked things”, “DIY media, intergang”, “Toy hack space”, “wireless city”… In every project he admits everyone has his/her own goals and satisfaction factors. For him the individual identity can be blurred in the community, but it is precisely the belonging to a community, even as a part of a loose network, that individual identity can emerge stronger.

Sharing

In his lectures instead of presenting an ideology or methodology he presents projects and invites the audience to contribute. He organises hands-on workshops to lectures focusing on open hardware and interaction design, some texts, and unrealized concepts. On his website you can download samples of software, texts and ideas, but no manifesto.

Goals

In 2008 at the Royal College of Art that his declared goals are:

• the openess,
• the capacity of an architectural of design work to be writable, to diversify, to allow people to reconfigure and appropriate the object (Mass customization?),
• and in the abstract a quest for freedom in the technological society.

Thats’ a quick draft for Edward Murfitt (Royal College of Art, IDE) system trying to optimize simultaneously quality of life, energy consumption (qualitative approach of carbon offsetting), and economical benefit, all administrated on an open platform with a transparent accountancy. Go Neutral, out now!

I was simply doing my thing in the Design Interactions lab, when symbols came out of the stapling machine…

The stapling machine had a message to deliver to the world… I was in direct contact with extraterrestrial life, they were revealing me mysteries through the stapler, from outer space or maybe from a totally different space-time…???

But my classmate Dot (Nitipak Samsen), told me these letters existed on earth… WHAT?… Yes.

So they can be only one reason to this : extraterrestrial life comes from Thailand and speak Staples. That’s the only explanation I can think of.

So I kept on stapling for a while until the messages got too intense for my human understanding..
So to sum up, according to Richard Hawking, to survive civilisation self-destruction we can either escape to space and inhabit an other planet, or go to Thailand.
