Our official opening for the COLLOQUY 2018 Project<\/a>\u00a0was May 24th with 75 colleagues, students, and donors in attendance. Rick Rogers, President of CCS, and Bill Shields, Interim Provost of CCS, attended along with many faculty and staff from other departments. There is a Facebook video clip of the exhibit<\/a>\u00a0(4 minutes) and a “thank you\u201d video on Facebook<\/a> with reflections on Gordon Pask’s intentions and\u00a0the importance of Colloquy (7 minutes)\u2014which misses the beginning of the opening line, worth including: “Good evening everyone, friends of colloquy,\u00a0colleagues, students, collaborators, generous\u00a0donors, all interactive entities human and\u00a0nonhuman<\/strong>.\u201d (Here is the full text of delivered remarks<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The most important \u201cthank you\u201d goes to TJ McLeish<\/a>, who designed the full-scale replica from the historical record and created the installation in all of its dimensions (with the exception of the making of the female forms, beautifully executed by Building Brown Workshop<\/a>, from TJ’s digital models).<\/p>\n

Public promotion included a piece written by Lillien Waller with an\u00a0eloquent description of the project<\/a>,\u00a0concluding with a beautiful quote from Amanda, one of Pask’s daughters and advisor to the project. There is\u00a0a video review<\/a> of the installation process, student work, and the exhibit (4 minutes). In the exhibit we also ran a\u00a0video slideshow<\/a> based on\u00a0a paper<\/a> written with TJ McLeish, containing segments on cybernetics, Pask\u2019s prior machines, Colloquy itself and Pask\u2019s influence on design (18 minutes).<\/p>\n

A future post will go deep into the educational value of our project.<\/p>\n

If you wish to come to see the installation\u00a0before mid-August, please write to colloquy2018@gmail.com<\/a>.\u00a0But we are not quite done…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The female mobiles are complete in their final form, with operating mirrors and all wiring. The male mobiles are still prototypes made of foamcore, as we finalize their details and functioning. All the electronics are in place and the interactive software must be finalized. We expect to complete the remaining software in the next 10 days. We are still short $6K for this stage of work and are grateful for all donations, large and small<\/a>. Depending on funding,\u00a0we will evolve our open-sourced documentation, design symposia to discuss the influence and implications of Colloquy and Pask’s vision, and eventually move Colloquy to other locations as many have invited us to do.<\/p>\n
