Imagining Interaction: The Art of David Rokeby

Although the Horizon Zero site is, IMHO, an interface nightmare - Issue 3, in which they take a look at the role of the artist/inventor, has some good content.

Canadian David Rokeby is a visual artist, composer, writer, and designer of software and hardware. His most well-known work is probably Very Nervous System - which is still pretty cool after all these years - and you can learn about his more recent work at the Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science and Technology.
