nova media & book binding

Rose and I did the basic binding for our book--we still have to put a cover on it, as well as incorporate the sensors. I am thinking pressure sensors... Steve suggested a couple different types of sensors, so I will look into them this weekend and hopefully come to a conclusion.

Cam and Nathan have been working hard on the code to make the cell phone talk with the twitter account (or something like that...)

Cam explains:

"I have been syncing the phone to a sms application on the computer;
that application sends the data to an existing email script;
which then adds it to the story."

Cam and Nathan have been using fonelink by Nova Software.

Our book so far (its huge!):




More to come...

talk to me, text to me

this past week, we have been finalizing ideas and we have come to the conclusion that we are making a book. A REAL BOOK; but a digital real book. I know, I know, sounds kind of complicated, but we basically want to make an "add to the story" book, where participants in the piece text message "@myverse (your story here)" to 21212 and add to the story. Cam and Nathan are working hard on completing the code for the text messaging, and Rose and myself (Diana) are working on the book and its aesthetics. There are many kinks we still have to work out. An artist's statement will be added shortly so that you know what we are actually talking about.
