Studio Action 4:

questions: what is poetic interaction? what is its meaning related to another notion of interaction design?

1. frame "poetic" in contrast with another term.
    for example:
          poetic vs. functional
          poetic vs. instrumental
          poetic vs. descriptive
          poetic vs. deterministic

2. find at least 3 examples of "poetic material" (of course, in contrast to other notions)
3. search and introduce at least 1 interaction/industrial designer who present "poetic" quality of design

Deadline: 4/23, 2013
