In the hacker/maker spirit of DIGITALKITCHEN, our team re-imagined a forgotten technology as a simple interactive experience that connects people and music and in new way. Meet Stanley. The world’s first instrument to have a conversation with its audience and field its own song requests.

When analog meets digital and makes beautiful music together.
For designers, after a pretty decent amount of struggle, we are just barely starting to see the acceptance of digital design as something people should care about. Almost every agency is attempting to create a digital practice, and virtually every client is investing some money into digital projects. Acceptance is slow, much slower than I ever thought it would be. We may not have reached our “Blue Monday” moment yet —but we’re getting there.

Tilt your iPad to make Alice grow big as a house, or shrink to just six inches tall. This is Alice in Wonderland digitally remastered for the iPad. Play with the White Rabbit’s pocket watch - it realistically swings and bounces. Help Alice swim through a Pool of Tears.
A step closer to another form of interactive narratives. Love it. The sky is the limit in creating these digital pop-up books.
A collection of links, inspirations as well as knowledge, thoughts, and hunches. Someday they'll have sex to produce insight.
Did you know that there are over 380,000 children in the foster care system?...
