(above) Simplified interaction diagram of Pask's Musicolour Machine from Haque GSM2 Proceedings (2006:469)Usman Haque has begun exploring Gordon Pask's ideas on responsive/interactive environments which seem relevant to the ideas behind this project...
"...but to explore comprehensively the poetry of interaction we believe we need to consider what truly intelligent spaces might be like: we might not like them, we might not fully understand them, we might even decide we don't want them. However the most stimulating and potentially productive situation would be a system in which people build up their environments through 'conversations' with the environment, where the histiry of interactions builds new possibilities for shared goals and shared outcomes." Haque GSM2 Proceedings (2006:472)
"The vital question to ask is how do we develop complex interactive systems that are not a priori prescriptive, restrictive and authoritarian? Only via conversation and collaboration over shared goals can complex, dynamic systems afford benefits that justify the added interactions that they require to negotiate their possibilities. We believe that rigorous guidance is provided by the models that Gordon Pask developed, which are predicted on strict definitions of performance, conversation, interaction, 'environment' and 'participation'." Haque GSM2 Proceedings (2006:474)
