that’s really weird that thing in the corner and that was in a room of odd<br />

installations and it still felt that it didn’t fit. It was because I suppose it’s<br />

because its quite…..It goes back to the fact that its designer/craft based or<br />

whatever, but I never knew what to ….where to put it. It always felt like I had to<br />

rewrite it. Rewrite the stories of it like as in write it up as really crafted piece or<br />

write it up as it’s really all about the centre of the technology. It was always that<br />

thing of having to push it in one direction or just letting it be just what it was<br />

and that’s ok. It was a bit mixed up its ok if it’s a bit of this and a bit of that and<br />

its ok if its not high concept and about technology but its fine if it’s not about<br />

technology that’s fine too. Can’t really remember to be honest but I think just<br />

even the title. I think it just summed it up quite nicely that it was all about the<br />

edges and it didn’t matter which side you were on. I think that the title of it<br />

really struck home.<br />

4. What did you expect to get out of the exhibition?<br />

I didn’t really know I didn’t really have too many expectations. I was really<br />

interested to see what else was going to be there, because I haven’t exhibited all<br />

that much. So I kind of didn’t have any….it was sheer panic. I didn’t have any<br />

definite plan.<br />

5. Who did you expect to be in the exhibition?<br />

I wasn’t really sure, but I probably thought it would be a kind of more<br />

Interaction Design maybe or more like people from Critical Design stuff or<br />

maybe that kind of direction.<br />

I think some of the people who were in it that I knew about, like Geoffrey Mann,<br />

and that kind of thing. Again I didn’t have, I suppose because I never really seen<br />

a call like that and I’d never really seen an exhibition that covered that. I really<br />

didn’t know.<br />

6. Was there someone you expected to be in the exhibition that<br />

wasn’t?<br />

Jayne Wallace and Sarah Kettley possibly and I thought maybe quite probably.<br />

Now who else, I thought someone like rAndom International. Have you seen<br />

the Pixel Roller project? Maybe those guys because they have done some<br />
