[Sigia-l] Conference on smart objects and spimes?

[Mark Berinato]

Hi, List.

I'm looking for a conference or place to visit (anywhere in the world)
about smart objects and "spimes" (see Bruce Sterling's latest little book,
Shaping Objects). 

Any ideas?
--

Spime=

Spime, as a noun, is a neologism for an imaginary object that is still
speculative. The term is usually applied to the design of items with
increasing complexity due to increased functionality.(eg future products
interfacing with the internet or other complex systems, personal
computers, etc)


Thanks,
