garagegeek


Joined a GarageGeeks meeting with Hanoch Piven and had a great time.
I ended up creating Kishkashta, a TV character I grew up with.

Watching Kishkashta was my first interactive media experience. I was 3 years old in Sara's daycare, seeing a TV for the first time (imagine that...). The TV spoke directly to me, asking me to play with the people and puppet on the screen. Of course, for a grown up to think the TV sends personalized messages is a clear sign of paranoid schizophrenia, but for a 3 year old, unaware of the concept of broadcasting, the interactive experience is in one's head, rather than in the media.
