Social Networking Gets Physical with Tableau

[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/17280777[/vimeo] Out of the big box marked ‘stuff that will blow your mind today’ busts John Kestner’s Tableau. Tableau is a night stand with a wire coming out of it. And boy, if it didn’t make me flip my lid. It isn’t the design of the stand that incited all this lid-flipping action – I’m more of an IKEA guy – but its function. Tableau is the most ingeniously-disguised Twitter client you ain’t never seen. Barring right now, that is. A hidden printer/scanner resides within Tableau’s drawer, connecting to your Twitter account and quietly printing and depositing photographs for you to discover. As well, any photographs you leave IN the drawer will be scanned and likewise posted to Twitter. It feels sorta like some abstract internet-based remake of The Lake House, but with less Keanu Reeves. Actually, I’ve never seen The Lake House, but as far as I know, it’s about time-traveling mail or something.
