Wits Digital Arts Interactive Media postgrad, Nathan Destro, testing the "Un-useless Invention" that he designed in a Masters workshop on this theme led by visiting NY interactive artist, Laura Nova. Entitled the "Personal Space Protector" it was tested late morning 18 Sept in the streets of Braamfontein, Johannesburg. The device, fitted with a siren alarm, was designed to maintain an area of personal space in crowded city streets. (See more photos of the test and the public reaction to the device.)
