As if they had been the perfect students of my Interactivity, Play and the Everyday project at the Bauhaus, art/design cooperative, BCXY have been working on a project called PLAY!.
BCXY are Boaz Cohen and Sayaka Yamamoto and PLAY! “consists of a collection of products that was conceived out of a desire to bring a sense of nostalgia and playfulness into the grown-up environment.”
Mark Pesce once described a swing as the ultimate “invitation to play” – something that’s formed part of my research and work on interactivity ever since. So, naturally, I liked the glowing “Swing Lamp” – even if it is a bit spooky.

Does this have anything to do with the exhibition ‘Play!’ currently at Urbis in Manchester? http://www.urbis.org.uk/page.asp?id=3021
I saw it a few weeks ago – lots of fun playing with enviroments and the childhood nostalgia of play. Didn’t think there was enought new media though…
Not sure. I don’t think so. What was the Urbis exhibition like?
Are you in the UK now then?
