I am intrigued by the ways designers are thinking about art and architecture as our means of graphic interface become increasingly sophisticated. Other forms of interface are becoming invisible (especially with regard to "smart buildings.") Interesting and related post I came across online today: What Comes After the Touchscreen?
5D Institute has curated a new series of discussions that will be delving into this topic later this week. All of the speakers are excellent and Kevin Slavin, Greg Lynn and Peter Frankfurt are among my favorites.

When the city and the book become both virtual and interactive, and contain and fuel multiple scenarios which evolve and coexist within synthetic worlds, what new stories can we tell?
In association with USC School of Cinematic Arts, the 5D Institute invites you to join our diverse and interdisciplinary network of writers, architects, engineers and artists in a multi-panel provocative and disruptive discussion of the possibilities of dynamic environments in digital publishing, virtual architecture, and interactive media, and the role of world building in the future of storytelling.
Some of the mind-bending questions to be addressed during 2 sessions this week:
On hybrid spaces-
As information is liberated from concrete and paper how does new data transform the material from which it came?
On architect as storyteller-
Does the multi-authored narrative of the city inform our view into the future of a new kind of storytelling experience?
On new dimensions of story architecture-
Can the novelist's command of world-building be challenged and enriched by a new dimension that enables multi-authored pathways?
On creating story spaces-
In a flow towards the Virtual City and Interactive Book, what are the differences between them? How can we integrate the newly built worlds of the City and the Book; and who now are the authors of these spaces?
