Graceful Computing (with Noah Feehan)

How can we bring the air of being a local and hospitality to technical design? What does it look like to design a wearable that’s not about surveilling or calculating your life? How would you manifest code in calm computing for a tactical-unplanned assemblage following a mycological (fungal) metaphor? Noah Feehan, joins the WBI show to discuss the NYT Labs Listening Table, agathonic design, the most salt shaker salt shakers and more.
