Abstract
When I discovered the Internet in 1994, I was more charmed and taken up by the possibility of creatively playing and interacting with other people, than by the extraordinary amount of interlinked information which I had access to. In these days, years later, what still charms and captivates me, in the development of the Internet and emergent ubiquitous computing, is not the chance to get everything when and where needed, but the chance we have to design relational and interactional systems through which interface our everyday environment and inhabit the world. Interwall is an artistic project by Toshiro Anzai, Rieko Nakamura, and Maki Nakayama. It is an extraordinary example for how it is capable of generating and negotiating spontaneous relational systems, by means of which we could prefigure shared and creative horizons of life.
