I was just about to ask Jim to send me a picture of another friend’s wooden business cards–to carry on the nepotistic theme–when someone handed me this.

I was part of a panel discussion at the iDesign 09 conference in London about what a Post-digital world might look like and, of course, I spoke about the role of real things in a digital world. Immediately afterwards someone gave me this–part of a recruitment drive to get people to take part in the largest community arts project in the world–painting the Heygate Estate in Hackney.

What better illustration of how real things can be used to convey the real essence of a project and engage and entertain people into further (digital) interaction.
