writer currently based in NYC. He was a research
fellow at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the
Netherlands and a designer at Bruce Mau Design. His
recent work investigates intersections of transcription,

an instance in which the graphic designer is compelled
to speak.
Laura Forlano is a writer, researcher and consultant
based in New York City. Currently, she is a
Postdoctoral Associate in the Interaction Design Lab in
the Departments of Communication and Information
Science at Cornell University. Forlano’s research is

open innovation networks in urban environments
with a specific emphasis on the use of mobile,
wireless and ubiquitous computing technologies
to support collaboration. Forlano received her PhD
in Communications from Columbia University in
2008. Her dissertation, “When Code Meets Place:
Collaboration and Innovation at WiFi Hotspots,”
explores the intersection between organizations,
technology (in particular, mobile and wireless
technology) and the role of place in communication,
collaboration and innovation. Since 2007, Forlano
