Toby Barnes: The Beautiful Seams between the network and the real-world

Together with AHO Interaction Design, we welcomed Toby Barnes to NITH for a free evening session on the eve of Norway's Constitution Day. Barnes was Strategic Product Director at AKQA in London, had been a principal at the Mudlark production company, and advised the Greater London Authority and the Mayor of London on digital issues.

His talk examined the seams between digital and physical experiences. The main case was Chromaroma, a social game in London for which he was executive producer, which used Oyster card journeys as the currency of play. He closed by discussing the role of service design in working across those seams.

After the talk, attendees continued the conversation at Oslo Mekaniske Verksted.
