Corridor Conversations
Project Team Professor Teal Triggs Nicolas Marechal
Members of the i.e. team are interested in exploring areas of new technology including social networking but also the relationship between physical and virtual spaces. In this ongoing project series, the i.e. team are establishing links between corridors in different parts of the world. The intent is to explore communication environments within a theoretical frame, but also as a way of better understanding new technologies and the way in which information is conveyed through social networking practices.
Project Partners MA Design Writing Criticism students, London College of Communication Riley Triggs, Dan Olsen, Peter Hall and Graduate Design students, Design Division, Unversity of Texas at Austin, U.S.A.
