Abstract

The Never-Ending Drawing Machine (NEDM) and Calliope (shown) are networked platforms that allow asynchronous viewing and physical editing of shared media at a distance, using a paper sketchbook as the main interface.

The systems layer analog and digital material, mapping pre-created digital media and captured analog content and displaying it on a networked “creation-station.” Allowing objects to be used as creative material, the systems promote personalized, contextualized co-creation, bridging collabora- tive cross-cultural and cross-generational gaps.
