Matt -- Love the web page. Excellent background color. Thank goodness you didn't use a 70s pallette (is that spelled right?). We'd be stuck with a shiny blue and brown pattern that might have matched Larry's shirt from Saturday night. Was intrigued by Mr Potatohead and had to play the game for a while. Must go back to the salt mines. Ardys

Matt, Glorious page! My only disappointment: not finding anything about the much-praised ImaginAction campaign to save the Niagra fruitbelt! It was great chattoing with you last night - I hope you have a great holiday, and good fun with the in-laws, and I would really like to make it up to Boston to visit you in Feb. Let's be sure to stay in touch! Always, Ross

Hi Matt, how is it going. I just had a friend ask me about puppetry, then I had a vague idea you had done something similar for TV when you were in high-school. But wasn't that computer graphics? Anyway, no big deal, but it inspired me to look you up and see what you're up to. The big news -- which you might have heard from Dave since he's invited -- is that I'm getting married in june! scary. -- Lisa Dusseault

Hi Matt... That was amazing. I've just been browsing your page, I'm afraid an hour is too less a time for me to investigate your works.I'd be back soon I am an architect from India, and I was admitted for Masters Program in Architecture in MIT for fall'98. Since I could not get my tuition waived I have accepted a fellowship offer for a one-year program at OSU-Columbus I bumped into info on Media Arts Program only recently and I can't resist being drawn into it. You seem to be a real coool graphic fundo...I am interested in how you could successfully balance your right and left cerebral hemispheres....complementing you visual skills by developing your programming knowledge.. bye...you can catch me at ganeshr@mailexcite.com Ganesh Ramachandran

So I finally got around to opening my CHI 98 conference proceedings, and as I was flipping through it, I saw a picture of triangles. Then I see a blip about non-linear storytelling and I'm thinking, "Hmm, this sounds like the project that Dave Gorbet was telling me about yesterday." And voila, there's your byline. Great paper. Triangles reminds me of a multimedia prototype of a digital storytelling app I created two years ago. And thanks to your brother, I'm thinking that "electronic diorama-making" is my calling...

Just a littlle compliment on the tangible media group projects (all of them). As a student Interaction Design at the High School of Arts in Utrecht (The Netherlands), I was browsing the web and came across the Triangles project, which really interested me. Seeing people participate in these projects motivates me more and more. thanx.. Rob Augustinus

My sweetie and I go to the Hunger Site each day to make a donation and were moved by your sponsorship of the site. Congratulations to you and your family!

Dear friend, I have never met you, or your family, but your idea of sponsoring the Hunger Site for the wedding weekend (I'm guessing it's the same one) is nothing short of marvelous. It's people who think as you do who are going to make the 21st century so much better for heart and soul than this one has been. I wish you blessings, love, and laughter for all your lives together!

Hi Matt, very nice pages. SUPERB DESIGNS, BLUE COLORS..... We are running a nice project with the MEDIA LAB named LINCOS ( little Intelligent Communities ) www.lincos.net and I was browsing MEDIA LAB pages trying to find people who wants to help us in our project-. Your experience on design, computer sciences, visual design, visual arts sounds pretty good. But now I understand you are at XEROX PARC. Maybe next time. Some suggestions for LINCOS LOGO ???? Thanks.

Matt; I'm a first year student at UCVF in BC and I have to say that a lot of what you're doing not only beyond me but is also amazing. I am currently enrolled in the FA department and am taking an electronic arts class. I have tried to build a machine that simulates one of those old spilrograph toys but have run into endless mechanical and electrical problems. Mounting an effort to create electronic pieces such as yours requires a lot of talent and a hell of a lot of practical and technical understanding. I'm in awe. Hope you post some of your new stuff if you get the chance. eric madill

Matt: I was just browsing xerox pages in the hopes of re-inspiring myself for another late night of work. Yes, I'm at another startup company looking to milk the internet bubble - kind of: but we are more interested in developing a product to re-define human interaction in a large social context and in a very specfic field. I feel like I am primarily an artist as well - been through the loop, graduated as an architect, worked as a model and a photographer, artist, pushed graphic and product design and now I'm experimenting with software product design in SF. Maybe you'd like to contribute your ideas to our effort. Feel free to email me - and BTW I love the home page box..... Saaket

I'm also a Canadian living abroad. I particularly liked your 'Idea(l) Object', and think your use of the cereal box is the most unique thing I've seen on the web. Thanks, Steve Matthews, Köln
