Reboot 9.0 – "New Interaction Rituals: Getting The Playful Interfaces We Deserve"

Here are the slides from my Reboot presentation where I sketch a speculative pre-history of computer-human interfaces that includes bricklayers, Apollo guidance computers, Herman Miller Eames loungers and Aeron chairs. The trajectory is an argument for investigating how efficiency (time and motion) can be factored out of the interface equation. What new kinds of playful digital interfaces can be created if time and movement are integral to computation? Can going to the market or taking a mountain hike be an interface for a kind of computation?
