Tom Igoe is an Associate Arts Professor at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP). Coming from a background in theatre lighting design, he teaches courses and workshops in physical computing and networking, exploring ways to allow digital technologies to sense and respond to a wider range of human physical expression. Current research focuses on ecologically sustainable practices in technology development and how open hardware development can contribute to that.
Igoe has written two books on physical computing: “Physical Computing: Sensing and Controlling the Physical World with Computers,”co-authored with Dan O’Sullivan, and “Making Things Talk” Both have been adopted by digital art and design programs around the world. He is a regular contributor to MAKE magazine on the subject as well. He is also a member of the core development team of Arduino, an open source microcontroller environment built for non-technicians. He has consulted for The American Museum of the Moving Image, EAR Studio, Diller + Scofidio Architects, Eos Orchestra, HBO, and others. He is a collaborator on the Arduino open source microcontroller project. He is currently realizing a lifelong dream to work with monkeys as well.

Denise Wilton is the Creative Director of award winning online print company moo.com.
A varied role, she is responsible for the creation of the brand, from the visual look and feel both on and offline, to the tone of voice in written, customer-facing communication. She is also the community manager – and with her third hand, makes a mean cup of tea.
Working as a designer for over 15 years, she has held various senior design roles in traditional and online media.
Denise is also co-founder of the large online creative community, b3ta.com, which, she warns, is not for the faint-hearted.
