The Never-Ending Drawing
Machine (NEDM) and Calliope

The Never-Ending Drawing Machine (NEDM) and Calliope
(shown) are networked platforms that allow asynchronous
viewing and physical editing of shared media at a distance,
using a paper sketchbook as the main interface.
The systems layer analog and digital material, mapping
pre-created digital media and captured analog content and
displaying it on a networked “creation-station.” Allowing
objects to be used as creative material, the systems promote
personalized, contextualized co-creation, bridging collabora-
tive cross-cultural and cross-generational gaps.

C the City

C the City explores new ways of presenting and interacting
with visualized data. Maps in various forms, models, and
visualizations of cities and geographic regions are fasci-
nating. They make it possible for us to get an overview, to
see and create connections. In C the City these tools are
used in a playful way to engage people in the development
and future of Norrköping, Sweden. C the City consists of
a large LEGO model on which data is projected. Users can
explore the data connected to the city by interacting with
a touchscreen.
