Nicolas Nova on Objects That Blog

Posted by Stowe Boyd

NIcolas and a bunch of other folks in Munich have been stirred up by a recent Bruce Sterling presentation on Shaping Things to Come:

[from [Future] My notes on Bruce Sterling’s talk in munich]
Shaping Things to Come: there are six trends, convergent and integral part of a general concept, six sides of a black box:

1. interactive ships, objects can be labelled [?] with unique identity
2. local and precise positioning systems
3. powerful search engines
4. 3d virtual models of objects
5. rapid prototyping of objects
6. cradle to cradle recycling

One outgrowth of this is the interesting prospect of everyday household objects that blog:

[from pasta and vinegar -- Objects that blog!]
Tonight I had an interesting debate with Julian about the notion of ‘objects that blog’ (he calls them blogject), that is to say artifacts that would upload their story up to web. They would report the history of interactions the object had with people. It’s something very intriguing and close to Bruce Sterling’s idea of spime. Julian wrote an insightful post about it. This is part of a project he’s carrying out for his seminar on Location-Based Mobile Media.

He goes on to mention a lamp that does this.

I would personally like a whole host of gizmos to blog. Think of all the value I have gotten from sharing the 'blogging' of iTunes at Last.fm? While it might be less interesting to me to have the contents of my refrigerator blogged, daily, it might be interesting is I were a real foodist, and interacted with a circle of other foodists. Likewise, a blog track of what movies I have watched on my DVD player, or blog history of (public) IM interactions.

Autobiographing objects, apps, and appliances are coming.

The starting point of all of this is Julian Bleecker who pinged me about this concept: http://research.techkwondo.com/blog/julian/74

Thanks for sharing your viewpoint on this!

i call it auto-profiling. social bookmarking would fall into this category. who has time to do it themselves? all forms of action and consumption should be tracked for my own purposes.
