Essays by Philip van Allen, Bruce Sterling, Anne Burdick, Holly Willis, Brenda Laurel, and Nik Hafermaas

What happens when every object andspace has a life of its own? That's the ques-

tion taken up by The New Ecology of Things

(NET). In an era of ubiquitous computing,

NET provides a framework for addressing the

complex design challenge of networked,

computational things. NET surpasses the

limited vision of 'smart things' with meaning-

ful interactions designed to make the most

of our very human experience in the world.

NET grew from an interdisciplinary studioto an ongoing initiative in the graduate

Media Design Program (MDP) at Art Center

College of Design in California. The trans-

media publication is a must -read/-see/

-experience for designers, educators,

engineers, entrepreneurs, social scientists,

internet activists and anyone interested in

the future of computation, interaction and

communication.
