Often times designers and developers' relationships are contentious. Designers want features that would require two Googles to run and developers want features that nobody but the nerdiest of the nerds would care about. This panel will showcase some of the top designers and developers who have worked through their differences and feel they're making better products as a result. Sometimes designers know users' needs best and sometimes developers can enhance a feature with their innate understanding of the system. Knowing this, why can't we all just get along?

READ MORE
First popularized by composers such as John Cage and Brian Eno, and fine artists such as Sol Lewitt and Hans Haacke, Generative Art has exploded in the digital age via computer, robotic, and network technologies. Generative artists create and then step away from systems, allowing their machines the autonomy to create, or be, the art. This first of two sessions presents a fast paced survey of randomization, algorithmic mashups, physical computing, and other strategies for creating dynamic art that surprises both the audience and the artist.

Virtual worlds are a fertile new medium. But first-generation virtual worlds all suffer from the same design flaw: they force consumers to invent their own fun. This is where gameplay, or "structured interaction" if you're afraid of the G-word, becomes critically important. Consumers simply won't come back without it.
