And so was Ana Serrano of the CFC Media Lab, as co-organizer.
On the invitation the event promised, among other cool tech-crossover stuff, “sound installations” by alumni of the Digital Futures program. So I attended. And I am happy I did.

As a child, I used rotary phone and I miss the feeling of a circling dial.textDIAL – by Anne Stevens – uses four rotary phones to send text messages to the screen in front.
