Know How Talks at IDEO
TONIGHT, 6/17/08 5:00 pm <--please note the day
IDEO Cafe (next to IDEO lobby at 100 Forest)
Free and open to the public
See bottom for upcoming schedule.
The Professors in Discussion
A discussion between Barry Katz, IDEO Fellow and historian of design, and
Michael Shanks, Professor of Archaeology at Stanford.
Hosted by Bill Moggridge
This will be a wide-ranging conversation that will probably meander from the
shape of 6th century Corinthian perfume bottles to 19th century German
optical equipment to the artifacts of 21st century Siliconia, with frequent
digressions into art, politics, philosophy and whatever else occurs to them.
Barry and Michael often teach together and share a common interest in the
complex ways in which people use, experience, and interact with objects
This should be a stimulating and unpredictable way to end the day.
