I’m tired, but excited, after what might be called the ‘launch’ of Media Lab Toronto.

MLT is an idea, or really a bunch of ideas, and some people (Dory Kornfeld, Michael Pereira, Gabe Sawhney and I so far). The ideas tend to revolve around new media, technology and art (with some knitting and laser beams tossed in).

Tonight we became somewhat tangible with our first installation, TXTris, at CaseCamp6 in Toronto. TXTris is an interactive, SMS controlled installation that mixes computer generated with the staunchly DIY physical. You can read more over at Media Lab Toronto’s blog.

There is no shortage of ideas for cool thins we can build, assuming we can find a way to balance this with paying for roofs over our heads (maybe even have it help with that). Tangible table top interface, non-screen projections, LED stuff, the list runs on. Keep watching.
