The Psychology of Computer Programming (1971)

Well, at least we managed to avoid this so far.

"We implemented a short, voluntary, neutral (compared with engaging people to sell something, for instance) and simple interaction task, which consists of having IRL-0 autonomously engage people in a public setting to get them to pick up a baseball cap lying nearby on the floor (3 to 4 m away) [see final photo]." – Sorry to Interrupt, But May I Have Your Attention? Preliminary Design and Evaluation of Autonomous Engagement in HRI, Vincent Rousseau et al.

Planetluke.com, the graphic arts alter ego of Luca Lozano provides the fourth in Klasse Wrecks’ KFAX zine series. KFAX4 is a follow up to the record label logo collection of KFAX3 and is manifested via a 70 page, 10x14cm risograph printed, red glue bound booklet. For this collection, Planetluke.com has delved deep into the obscure and unlikely field of computer software company logos of the 70s and 80s. A burgeoning and undeveloped scene, the 300+ logos are often naive and amateurish in quality and look and provide the perfect follow up to the similar logos in the previous zine. Be sure to back-up that brain as halfway through the zine gets ‘hacked’ and overtaken by logos and graphics from the underground hacker and warez scene!! Measuring at 7x10cm and printed on 70 g/m² EOS bible print paper and with red glue binding.
