Introduction to Final Provocation
Handout/Groups: Final Provocation: Cosmetic Computing (Due 1 May)
Lecture: Fashioning Fashionables

Assignment: Prepare 10 ideas for next class.  One of the ideas must be simple and one “extreme”.  You are free to interpret “extreme” however you like but such “extreme” ideas must not be immediately feasible,  marketable, or perhaps maybe even not desirable.  One slide per idea to be presented in next class.
