Our new artist in residence arrived! Hooray!
Kyle Machulis, aka qDot, is a researcher of alternate input
mechanisms and haptics, which is really a fancy way of saying he
breaks sex toys. Through his Slashdong webpage
(<http://www.slashdong.org>http://www.slashdong.org), he uses the
topic of teledildonics (remotely actuated sexual experience) to teach
the basic concepts of software, electrical and mechanical
engineering. He also tracks the convergence of sex and technological
advances in toys and interaction, building on the idea that paradigms
for interfaces people would use for intimate encounters on computers
can be extended to other usage experiences.
He is one of monochrom's collaborators at
<http://www.monochrom.at/arse-elektronika>Arse Elektronika in San Francisco.
