This is a link to a circuit board that can possibly provide the link between programming/computation strategies and the real world interaction. I have also heard of a board that can be programmed through Flash.
Its random, but I learned of these things while talking to man on the chinatown bus back from NY. He is a scultpure that is diving into interactive installations as well as scripting. Very interesting. He also has a studio down at the Mills. Could be an interesting connection?
Anyway...
