“San Antonio-based Mark Menjivar thinks of his project, “You Are What You Eat,” as a series of intimate portraits. “One person mentioned that ‘asking to photograph my refrigerator is like asking me to pose nude,’” he says.”
“Here’s an interesting idea from Jane McGonigal (Berkeley) and Ken Anderson (Intel). It’s called place storming : “Place Storming is context-driven and play-based, combining real world environments with the immersive and performative aspects of gaming. Place Storming combines elements of street games, improvisational theater and brainstorming to enable participants to get out and get physical, in order to find real everyday contexts for technology innovation. Place Storming participants break into teams, take on roles, visit a series of situated places in targeted environments, and use props to accomplish site-specific missions. In completing their missions, Place Stormers become active, playful performers engaged in first imagining and then enacting technological innovations in context.”

“One of the most misunderstood terms in the business world is disruptive technology. Too many companies—and the marketers in charge of bringing these companies’ innovations to market—assume that “disruptive” connotes a highly-sophisticated, high-end product with cutting-edge technology that will appeal to early adopters. Actually, Harvard’s Clayton Christensen argued the opposite in his groundbreaking book on business innovation, The Innovator’s Dilemma. As Christensen pointed out again and again, “disruptive technologies were exactly those that did not appeal to entrenched market leaders because they tended to under-perform existing technologies and served a less-profitable consumer demographic.”
