this course examines how people relate to, think about, and think with new technologies. it explores how new computational movements both reflect and contribute to broader intellectual movements that are changing the way people think about mind, self, nature, and society. this semester, we will focus especially on how new "computational objects"—such as the "things that think" being developed at the media lab—could influence and be influenced by the way people think about "things".
