What effect does (or can) the internet have on public discourse? I am excited to test some theories related to interaction design in virtual and physcial space. I am currently working on a project called the Augmented Speakers Corner, which explores the notion of the Public Sphere in an age of networked publics. This is my thesis project at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU, to be presented in May, 2008. You can tune in at www.AskUnionSquare.org.
