Acts Not Facts: Embodiment, AI, and Multiplayer

Join the legendary Matt Webb for an in-person evening of historic and progressive Interaction Design exploring his venns of embodiment, AI, and multiplayer.

Expect tangible examples of his progressive thinking including his infamous GPT-driven poetry clock, cute multi-player examples, examples dug from computing history, and more from his fertile library of future interactions.
