		<title>Initial Explorations into Local Farming &#8211; Experiments Public Design Research</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of the growBots project, our project studio has been immersing themselves in the local farming community and its practices. To date, this has included visiting Decimal Place goat farm  (at 7am on a Saturday morning no less) to milk goats and learn about those farming practices; hosting a video evening at which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Design Revolution Roadshow and The Social Design Event</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There certainly is a proliferation of &#8220;social design&#8221; projects underway, and this is generally a good thing. 
The Design Revolution Road Show stands out because of its format. As they describe it, it&#8217;s &#8220;a traveling exhibition and lecture series bringing “product design that empowers” to 25 high schools and university design programs across the nation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Future of Farming Screening &#8211; Feb 11th</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
What will the farm of the future look like?
Georgia Tech&#8217;s growbotgarden.com presents an evening of curated clips that envision the farms of the future. Dystopian sci-fi fantasies, marvels of engineering, and organic small scale solutions all share space in this exploration.
Join your fellow food-loving Atlantans for a provocative evening at ParkGrounds Coffee. Learn more about [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;What If?&#8221; Exhibition, and the Museum as Site for Critical and Speculative Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is not new, but I want to call attention to the &#8220;What If&#8221; exhibition at the Science Gallery in Dublin. 
The exhibition features the work of Dunne and Raby, Tobie Kerridge and the Material Beliefs project, and many other students from the RCA and Goldsmiths.  Some of the work I had not seen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Speculative Robotics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
How might robotics technologies be used in near-future scenarios? And how might we use design to critically examine these futures and explore alternatives?
Drawing from the capabilities and research themes of contemporary engineering and computer science, the Speculative Robotics project uses design to critically explore and express possible future applications, adaptations, and appropriations of robotics technology. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fall 2009 Speculative Robotics Project Studio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our Fall 2009 Project Studio explored Speculative Robotics: using design to critically explore and express possible future applications, adaptations, and appropriations of robotics technology. From this experimentation comes future forms and functions for robotics, and just as significantly, critical reflections on our current social and environmental conditions, expressed through design.
Below are links to the individual [...]]]></description>

		<title>Environmental Sensing and Visualization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since 2008 we have been investigating participatory environmental sensing and experimental information visualization through Public Design Workshop projects and classes. Although sensing and visualization are often cast as distinct fields and efforts, we chose to bundle them because from a design perspective sensing gives way to visualization: the data collected must be expressed.
In particular, we [...]]]></description>
